Heterotrimeric G proteins participate in signal transduction by transferring signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular effector molecules. G proteins also interact with microtubules and participate in microtubule-dependent centrosome⁄chromosome movement during cell division, as well as neuronal differentiation. | ễFEBS Journal MINIREVIEW Submembraneous microtubule cytoskeleton regulation of microtubule assembly by heterotrimeric G proteins Sukla Roychowdhury1 and Mark M.

G proteins also interact with microtubules and participate in microtubuledependent centrosome chromosome movement during cell division as well as neuronal differentiation. In recent years significant progress has been made in our understanding of the biochemical functional interactions between G protein subunits a and Py and microtubules and the molecular details emerging from these studies suggest that a and Py subunits of G proteins interact with tubulin microtubules to regulate the assembly dynamics of microtubules providing a novel mechanism for hormone- or neurotransmitter-induced rapid remodeling of cytoskeleton regulation of the mitotic spindle for centrosome chromosome movements in cell division and neuronal differentiation in which structural plasticity mediated by microtubules is .
