Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Catarina Lopes Matos"
- Catarina Lopes Matos focuses her research on the functional diversity of microtubules (MTs) and the impact of post-translational modifications (PTMs) on their properties and biological roles.
- Her recent article, "Tubulin Post-Translational Modifications: The Elusive Roles of Acetylation," explores how specific PTMs, particularly acetylation, influence MTs' ability to support various cellular activities, including transport, migration, and division.
- The research highlights the intricate mechanisms by which PTMs, regulated by specific enzymes, generate combinatory patterns that enhance the biochemical and biophysical characteristics of MTs, ultimately affecting interactions with microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and cellular responses.
