    The interaction between TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled coil protein 3) and the microtubule polymerase ch-TOG (colonic, hepatic tumor overexpressed gene) is evolutionarily conserved. Loading of TACC3–ch-TOG onto spindle microtubules requires the phosphorylation of TACC3 by Aurora-A kinase and the subsequent interaction of TACC3 with clathrin to form a microtubule binding surface. Whether there is a pool of TACC3–ch-TOG that is independent of clathrin in human cells, and what is the function of this pool, are open questions. Here, we report that TACC3 is recruited to the plus-ends of microtubules by its association with ch-TOG and that this pool is independent of phosphorylation and binding to clathrin. The plus-end binding of TACC3–ch-TOG persists in interphase and we propose that one cellular function of TACC3–ch-TOG is to modulate cell migration. We also describe the distinct subcellular pools of TACC3, ch-TOG and clathrin. TACC3 is often described as a centrosomal protein, but we show that there is no significant population of TACC3 at centrosomes. The delineation of distinct protein pools reveals a simplified view of how these proteins are organized and controlled by post-translational modification

    COUPLING OF THE C-H STRETCH TO LARGE-AMPLITUDE TORSION AND INVERSION MOTIONS: COMPARISON OF CH3{_3}CH2{_2}.^{.}, CH3{_3}OH2{_2}+^{+} AND CH3{_3}NH2{_2}

    Author Institution: Department of Polymer Science and Department of Chemistry, The University of Akron; Department of Chemistry, The University of Akron, OH 44325In each of the title molecules, torsional and inversion tunneling occurs between six equivalent minima. Coupling of these degrees of freedom to the CH stretch occurs via variation of the C-H stretching force constants as a function of the torsional (α\alpha) and inversion (τ\tau) angles. Maps of the couplings have been computed at the MP2/6-311++G(3df,2p) level. Both the single bond CH stretch force constants and the bilinear couplings between CH bonds are presented as a function of α\alpha and τ\tau. Although the torsional barriers differ by more than a factor of 20, the torsion-inversion-vibration coupling patterns are very similar for CH3{_3}NH2{_2} and CH3{_3}CH2{_2}.^{.}. On the other hand, the torsion-inversion-vibration coupling in the charged species CH3{_3}OH2{_2}+^{+} is much weaker
