- The dual role of fission yeast Tbc1/cofactor C orchestrates microtubule homeostasis in tubulin folding and acts as a GAP for GTPase Alp41/Arl2 (2013), Mol. Biol. Cell, 24; 1713-24, S1-8.
Activating Compound
| Activating Compound | Comment | Organism | Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tbc1/cofactor C | acts as a GTPase-activating protein, GAP, in regulating GTPase Alp41/Arl2. Tbc1 and Alp41 directly interact. Tbc1 is the orthologue of cofactor C and is able to form a supercomplex with Alp1D and Alp21E. Temperature-sensitive mutants of tbc1 show loss of microtubules. If Tbc1 loses its GAP activity as in the tbc1-11 mutant, Alp41 will no longer be converted from its active, GTP-bound state to the inactive, GDP-bound state | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |

General Information
| General Information | Comment | Organism |
|---|---|---|
| evolution | Alp41/Arl2 is a highly conserved small GTPase | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |
| malfunction | if Tbc1 loses its GAP activity as in the tbc1-11 mutant, Alp41 will no longer be converted from its active, GTP-bound state to the inactive, GDP-bound state. Overproduction of GTP or GDP form of Alp41 is toxic to the cell | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |
| metabolism | the tubulin cofactor pathway consists of a specific set of chaperones that aid the folding of alpha- and beta-tubulin monomers into a functional heterodimer, with the introduction of cofactor C, GTP hydrolysis occurs, triggering the release of the newly folded alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimer for addition to the plus end of the microtubule, modeling of the final stages of the tubulin cofactor pathway that includes a dual role for both Tbc1 and Alp1D in opposing regulation of the microtubule. Alp41 GTPase interacts with cofactor D, Alp1D, only when bound to GDP | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |
| physiological function | dual role of fission yeast Tbc1/cofactor C orchestrates microtubule homeostasis in tubulin folding and acts as a GTPase activating protein for GTPase Alp41/Arl2, Tbc1 and Alp41 directly interact, mutational analysis, overview. Tbc1 is the cofactor C involved in correct folding of alphabeta-tubulin heterodimers, critical for microtubule dynamics. The expression of GDP- or GTP-bound Alp41 shows a microtubule loss phenotype, continuous cycling between these forms seems important for its functions. Alp41 GTPase interacts with cofactor D, Alp1D, only when bound to GDP, GDP-bound Alp41 sequesters overproduced Alp1D from microtubules and rescues abnormal microtubule structures | Schizosaccharomyces pombe |
