Prokaryotic tubulin homologs
Tomášová, Štěpánka ; Libusová, Lenka (advisor) ; Schwarzerová, Kateřina (referee)
Cytoskeletal proteins form very important structures in eukaryotic cells. It was demonstrated in last years that cytoskeletal proteins are also an important part of prokaryotic cells. One of the cytoskeletal families is the tubulin family. The tubulins are known to form dynamic microtubules which are important for cell division and other processes in eukaryotic cells. Proteins homologous to tubulin were discovered in Prokaryotes, based on their similarity to the tubulin GTP-binding region. This thesis describes the structure and function of known tubulin homologs from bacteria and archaea and compares them to their eukaryotic counterplayers.
