Feeding cells induced by phytoparasitic nematodes require gamma-tubulin ring complex for microtubule reorganization (2011)
Journal Article
Banora, M., Rodiuc, N., Baldacci-Cresp, F., Smertenko, A., Bleve-Zacheo, T., Mellilo, M., …de Almeida-Engler, J. (2011). Feeding cells induced by phytoparasitic nematodes require gamma-tubulin ring complex for microtubule reorganization. PLoS Pathogens, 7(12), Article e1002343. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1002343

Reorganization of the microtubule network is important for the fast isodiametric expansion of giant-feeding cells induced by root-knot nematodes. The efficiency of microtubule reorganization depends on the nucleation of new microtubules, their elonga...

A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly (2009)
Journal Article
Piette, B., Liu, J., Peeters, K., Smertenko, A., Hawkins, T., Deeks, M., …Hussey, P. (2009). A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly. PLoS ONE, 4(8), Article e6378. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0006378

Microtubules are self-assembling polymers whose dynamics are essential for the normal function of cellular processes including chromosome separation and cytokinesis. Therefore understanding what factors effect microtubule growth is fundamental to our... Read More about A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly.

A novel role for the nuclear membrane protein emerin in association of the centrosome to the outer nuclear membrane (2007)
Journal Article
Salpingidou, G., Smertenko, A., Hausmanowa-Petrucewicz, I., Hussey, P., & Hutchison, C. (2007). A novel role for the nuclear membrane protein emerin in association of the centrosome to the outer nuclear membrane. Journal of Cell Biology, 178(6), 897-904. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.200702026

The type II inner nuclear membrane protein emerin is a component of the LINC complex that connects the nuclear lamina to the actin cytoskeleton. In emerin-null or -deficient human dermal fibroblasts we find that the centrosome is detached from the nu...

Cysteine protease mcll-Pa executes programmed cell death during plant embryogenesis (2005)
Journal Article
Bozhkov, P., Suarez, M., Filonova, L., Daniel, G., Zamyatnin, A., Rodriguez-Nieto, S., …Smertenko, A. (2005). Cysteine protease mcll-Pa executes programmed cell death during plant embryogenesis. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 102(40), 14463-14468. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0506948102

Programmed cell death (PCD) is indispensable for eukaryotic development. In animals, PCD is executed by the caspase family of cysteine proteases. Plants do not have close homologues of caspases but possess a phylogenetically distant family of cystein...

The Arabidopsis microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-1: Molecular analysis of its microtubule bundling activity (2004)
Journal Article
Smertenko, A., Chang, H., Wagner, V., Kaloriti, D., Fenyk, S., Sonobe, S., …Hussey, P. (2004). The Arabidopsis microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-1: Molecular analysis of its microtubule bundling activity. The Plant Cell, 16(8), 2035-2047. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.104.023937

The 65-kD microtubule-associated protein (MAP65) family is a family of plant microtubule-bundling proteins. Functional analysis is complicated by the heterogeneity within this family: there are nine MAP65 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtMAP65-1 to A...

The plant microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-3/PLE is essential for cytokinetic phragmoplast function (2004)
Journal Article
Muller, S., Smertenko, A., Wagner, V., Heinrich, M., Hussey, P., & Hauser, M. (2004). The plant microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-3/PLE is essential for cytokinetic phragmoplast function. Current Biology, 14(5), 412-417. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2004.02.032

Directional cell expansion in interphase and nuclear and cell division in M-phase are mediated by four microtubule arrays, three of which are unique to plants: the interphase array, the preprophase band, and the phragmoplast. The plant microtubule-as... Read More about The plant microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-3/PLE is essential for cytokinetic phragmoplast function.

Re-organisation of the cytoskeleton during developmental programmed cell death in Picea abies embryos (2003)
Journal Article
Smertenko, A., Bozhkov, P., Filonova, L., von Arnold, S., & Hussey, P. (2003). Re-organisation of the cytoskeleton during developmental programmed cell death in Picea abies embryos. The Plant Journal, 33(5), 813-824. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-313x.2003.01670.x

Cell and tissue patterning in plant embryo development is well documented. Moreover, it has recently been shown that successful embryogenesis is reliant on programmed cell death (PCD). The cytoskeleton governs cell morphogenesis. However, surprisingl... Read More about Re-organisation of the cytoskeleton during developmental programmed cell death in Picea abies embryos.
