alpha-Tubulin can be posttranslationally modified in that its COOH-terminal amino acid residue, tyrosine, can be selectively removed and replaced again. This reaction cycle involves two enzymes, tubulin carboxypeptidase and tubulin tyrosine ligase. The functional significance of this unusual modification is unclear. The present study demonstrates that posttranslational tyrosinolation of alpha-tubulin does occur in the parasitic hemoflagellate Trypanosoma brucei brucei and that posttranslational tyrosinolation can be detected in both alpha-tubulin isoforms found in this organism. Trypanosomes contain a number of microtubular structures: the flagellar axoneme; the subpellicular layer of singlet microtubules which are closely associated with the cell membrane; the basal bodies; and a cytoplasmic pool of soluble tubulin. Tyrosinolated alpha-tubulin is present in all these populations. However, immunofluorescence studies demonstrate a distinct localization of tyrosinolated alpha-tubulin within individual microtubules and organelles. This localization is subject to a temporal modulation that correlates strongly with progress of a cell through the cell cycle. Our results indicate that the presence of tyrosinolated alpha-tubulin is a marker for newly formed microtubules.

To investigate the timing of inositol lipid turnover in relation to the cell cycle, inositol phosphates and lipids were measured in neuroblastoma (Neuro-2A) cells that were prelabeled with [3H]inositol and synchronized by a mitotic shakeoff technique. Distinct early and late phases of inositol phosphate production were identified. The early peak occurs between the 2nd and 4th hour after mitosis near the G1/S transition. A later peak occurs around the peak of S phase (DNA synthesis) at 7-8 h after mitosis. These findings suggest that activation of phosphatidylinositol turnover generates signals that play a role in cell cycle progression.

Autophagy is ubiquitous in eukaryotic cells and plays an essential role in stress adaptation and development by recycling nutrients and maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, the dynamics and regulatory mechanisms of autophagosome formation during the cell cycle in plant cells remain poorly elucidated. We here analyzed the number of autophagosomes during cell cycle progression in synchronized tobacco BY-2 cells expressing YFP-NtATG8a as a marker for the autophagosomes. Autophagosomes were abundant in the G2 and G1 phases of interphase, though they were much less abundant in the M and S phases. Autophagosomes drastically decreased during the G2/M transition, and the CDK inhibitor roscovitine inhibited the G2/M transition and the decrease in autophagosomes. Autophagosomes were rapidly increased by a proteasome inhibitor, MG-132. MG-132-induced autophagosome formation was also markedly lower in the M phases than during interphase. These results indicate that the activity of autophagosome formation is differently regulated at each cell cycle stage, which is strongly suppressed during mitosis.
