DESCRIPTION:Structural Aspects of the Tubulin Code\n\nDavid Sept\, Universi
 ty of Michigan\n	Tuesday April 14\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.
 us/j/87078928687\n	In Person: 550 Sherbrooke\, Room 189\n	\n	Abstract: Microt
 ubules are key members of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and they play a role
  in a wide range of cellular functions\, including transport\, motility\, 
 and mitosis. These filaments are formed by the polymerization of the prote
 in tubulin and their functions are largely mediated by the binding and act
 ion of many different microtubule-binding proteins or MAPs. Over the last 
 decade or so\, there has been a growing understanding of how the many tubu
 lin isotypes as well as post-translational modifications — what is commonl
 y termed the tubulin code\, influence the structure\, dynamics and interac
 tions of tubulin and microtubules. Since most of the isotype sequence diff
 erences fall in unstructured parts of the protein\, this system is ideal f
 or studying using molecular simulations. In this talk I will present some 
 of our recent work in this area and show how these localized isotype diffe
 rences manifest themselves in both microtubule function and dynamics.\n
