    TACC3-ch-TOG track the growing tips of microtubules independently of clathrin and Aurora-A phosphorylation

    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

    Performances of crosslinked asymmetric poly(vinyl alcohol) membranes for isopropanol dehydration by pervaporation

    No full text
    Asymmetric poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA) were prepared by phase inversion technique for pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol (IPA). The crosslinking solutions contain sodium sulfate, sulfuric acid and different contents of GA, wherein sulfuric acid serves as a catalyst. The effects of three variables involved in the membrane preparation, including PVA molecular weight, PVA concentration and GA concentration on pervaporation characteristics were investigated. The results showed that the permeation flux decreases with the increase of these three factors, whereas the selectivity has an opposite trend. The influence of feed IPA concentration and temperature on pervaporation performances was also studied to find optimum operating conditions. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

    Combined dunham analysis of rotational and eletronic transitions of CH+

    "A Dunham analysis of the A1ΠX1Σ+A^1\Pi-X^1\Sigma^+ band was carried out by M\""{u}ller, and predictions of the pure rotational transition frequencies were made.\footnote{H. S. P. M\""{u}ller,\textit{A\&A},\textit{514}, L6(2010)} More recently, in submillimeter to THz region, several rotational lines were observed for 12^{12}CH+^+, 13^{13}CH+^+, and CD+^+.\footnote{T. Amano, \textit{Ap.J.Lett.}, \textbf{716}, L1 (2010)}\footnote{T. Amano, \textit{J. Chem. Phys.}, \textbf{133}, 244305 (2010)}\footnote{S. Yu et al,\textit{The 70th International Symposium on Moecular Spectroscopy}, \textbf{RD06}(2015)} In this investigation, those newly obtained rotational lines are incorporated in the Dunham analysis. The Λ\Lambda-doubling splittings in 1Π^1\Pi electronic states have been expressed as (1/2)qJ(J+1)(1/2)qJ(J+1) in most investigations. However, it should be noted that the ee-levels of 1Π^1\Pi state interact with 1Σ+^1\Sigma^+ states, while the ff-levels with 1Σ^1\Sigma^- states. For CH+^+, the ee-levels of A1ΠA^1\Pi are pushed upward from the interaction with the ground X1Σ+X^1\Sigma^+ state. The 1Σ^1\Sigma^- states are not known experimentally and they, if any, should lie high over the A1ΠA^1\Pi state. In this analysis, only the ff-levels are included in the least-squares analysis by neglecting the Λ\Lambda-doubling. The mass independent parameters have been obtained, and the conventional spectroscopic parameters are derived for each isotopologue. These results should be useful for determining the potential energies of this fundamental ion.\footnote{Y. S. Cho and R. J. LeRoy,\textit{J. Chem.
