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.

Enzyme activities and subcellular localization of members of the Arabidopsis glutathione transferase superfamily (2009)
Journal Article
Dixon, D., Hawkins, T., Hussey, P., & Edwards, R. (2009). Enzyme activities and subcellular localization of members of the Arabidopsis glutathione transferase superfamily. Journal of Experimental Botany, 60(4), 1207-1218. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ern365

Enzyme screens with Strep-tagged recombinant proteins and expression studies with the respective green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions have been employed to examine the functional activities and subcellular localization of members of the Arabidopsi...

MOR1/GEM1 has an essential role in the plant-specific cytokinetic phragmoplast (2002)
Journal Article
Twell, D., Park, S., Hawkins, T., Schubert, D., Schmidt, R., Smertenko, A., & Hussey, P. (2002). MOR1/GEM1 has an essential role in the plant-specific cytokinetic phragmoplast. Nature Cell Biology, 4(9), 711-714. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncb844

MOR1 is a member of the MAP215 family of microtubule-associated proteins and is required to establish interphase arrays of cortical microtubules in plant cells1. Here we show that MOR1 binds microtubules in vivo, localizing to both cortical microtubu... Read More about MOR1/GEM1 has an essential role in the plant-specific cytokinetic phragmoplast.
