Microtubules play an important role in intracellular transport, mobility, and particularly mitosis. Paclitaxel (Taxol$^{TM}$) and paclitaxel-like compounds have been shown to be anti-tumor agents useful for various human tumors. Paclitaxel-like compounds operate by stabilizing microtubules through interface binding at the interface between two ${\beta}$-tubulin monomers in adjacent protofilaments. In this paper we present the elucidation of the structural features of paclitaxel and paclitaxel-like compounds (e.g., epothilones) with microtubule stabilizing activities, and relate their activities to spatial and chemical features of the molecules. CATALYST program was used to generate three-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationships (3D-QSARs) resulting in 3D pharmacophore models of epothilone- and paclitaxel-derivatives. Pharmacophore models were generated from diverse conformers of these compounds resulting in a high correlation between experimental and predicted biological activities (r = 0.83 and 0.91 for epothilone and paclitaxel derivatives, respectively). On the basis of biological activities of the training sets, five- and four-feature pharmacophore hypotheses were generated in the epothilone and paclitaxel series. The validation of generated hypotheses was achieved by using twelve epothilones and ten paclitaxels, respectively, which are not in the training sets. The clustering (grouping) and merging techniques were used in order to supplement spatial restrictions of each of hypothesis and to develop more comprehensive models. This approach may be of use in developing novel inhibitor candidates as well as contributing a better understanding of structural characters of many compounds useful as anticancer agents targeting microtubules.

Microtubule-binding molecules have been developed as anti-cancer agents to overcome the toxicities of current chemotherapeutics and also have potential for use as anti-angiogenic agents. In this work, we examined the effect of novel triazine compounds, Tubulyzines (microTUBUle LYsing triaZINE), derived from the orthogonal synthesis of a triazine library, on endothelial progenitor cell differentiation. When mononuclear cells isolated from human cord blood were cultured on fibronectin-coated plates for 7 days, all the Tubulyzine compounds A, B, and C (TA, TB, and TC) tested decreased the number of adherent cells in a dose-dependent manner in a coo. centration ranges of 2-5 to $80\mu\textrm{M}$. TA ($IC_{50}$=$20\mu\textrm{M}$) showed slightly more potent activity than TB and TC. Adherent cells treated with TA also exhibited a lower level of ability to ac-LDL uptake, with low ratios of positive cells out of total adherent cells, in a dose-dependent manner and weak expression of endothelial lineage markers, KDR, CD31, and vWF at $20\mu\textrm{M}$. Therefore, these results suggest that tubulyzine A (TA) can be effectively used for the inhibition of new vessel growth by inhibiting differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells.

Chromatin configuration and microtubule assembly were determined in porcine maturing and activated oocytes following intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Microtubule localization was confirmed using a mouse monoclonal antibody to $\alpha$-tubulin and detected using a fluorescent labeled goat anti-mouse secondary antibody. DNA was stained with propidium iodide. The image of microtubules and chromatin was captured using laser scanning confocal microscope. In germinal vesicle stage oocyte, sperm chromatin remained condensation and sperm derived microtubules were not observed at 8 to 12 h after sperm injection. At 24 h after injection, the sperm nucleus developed to the metaphase chromatin along the metaphase structure of female nucleus. In some metaphase I stage oocytes, sperm chromatin decondensed at 8 h to 12 h after injection, sperm aster was seen soon after sperm injection. At 24 h after sperm injection into metaphase I stage oocyte, male chromatin developed to the metaphase chromatin while female chromatin extruded first polar body and formed the metaphase chromatin. At 12 to 15 h after sperm injection into preactivated oocytes, condensed sperm nucleus was located in close proximity of female pronucleus. However, the condensed nucleus did not fuse with female pronucleus. In preactivated ocytes, injected sperm remained condensation, a few sperm organized small microtubular aster. Instead, maternal derived microtubules were organized near the female chromatin, which seem to move condensed male chromatin near to the female pronucleus. These results suggest that sperm nuclear decondensing activity and nucleation activity of centrosome during fertilization are cell cycle dependent. In absence of male functional centrosome, female origin centrosome takes over the role of microtubule nucleation for nuclear movement.

세포내 수송 기구는 세포의 작용과 생존에 필수적이다. 이러한 세포내 수송은 긴 미세소관을 따라서 운반체를 운반하는 미세소관 의존 분자 모터 단백질인 kinesin과 cytoplasmic dynein에 의하여 이루어진다. Kinesin은 ATP 의존적으로 미세소관의 plus-end방향으로 이동하는 모터 단백질로 세포내 소기관, 분비소포, RNA 복합체, 단백질 복합체들을 수송한다. Kinesins에 의한 다양한 운반체의 수송의 이상은 세포의 기능 이상과 연관된다. Kinesins에 의한 운반체 수송의 기본 단계는: 운반체 혹은 adaptor 단백질과의 결합, kinesin 기능 활성화와 미세소관을 따라서 이동, 그리고 올바른 위치에서 운반체와의 분리 단계로 나뉘어 진다. 최근의 연구결과들에서 kinesin 모터 기능 활성화, 운반체와의 결합, 운반체와의 해리 기전이 확인되고 있으며 세포내 운반체 수송은 kinesin과 운반체를 연결하는 adaptor 단백질에 의하여서도 조절된다. 단백질 인산화 효소, 탈 인산화 효소를 포함하는 kinesin 모터 활성 조절 단백질들은 kinesin의 인산화 혹은 탈 인산화를 통하여 직접적으로 세포내 수송을 조절하거나, c-Jun NH-terminal kinase-interacting proteins (JIPs)와 같은 adaptor 단백질들과 미세소관의 간접적 수식을 통하여 세포내 수송을 조절하기도 한다. 이러한 연구결과들은 세포의 기능과 형태 유지에 관여하는 kinesin에 의한 다양한 세포내 수송 조절 기전을 이해하는데 기초적인 토대가 된다. 또한 각각의 kinesin에 대한 조절 기전을 밝히는 것은 세포생물학과 신경생리학을 이해하는데 중요하므로 본 종설에서는 kinesin에 의한 세포내 수송을 조절하는 단백질과 kinesin과 수송체와의 결합이 어떻게 조절되는지를 고찰하고자 한다.
