Septins are involved in almost all stages of neuronal development: modulating dendritic morphogenesis and branching, spine morphogenesis and dendrite development, as well as neuronal excitability. In this context, there is still much to be learned about the potential roles of septin monomers, their oligomers and filaments, and structural biology can greatly contribute to this. Our proposa…
This study aims to express and characterize the GTPase domain of septins from the trematode flatworm Schistosoma mansoni. This parasite is the etiologic agent of Schistosomiasis, a disease that affects about 210 million people in 74 countries. The septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins, which were first associated with the process of cytokinesis in yeast budding. Today, it…
