We have previously presented evidence that cell-cell contact is the normal developmental signal to deactivate discoidin I gene expression in D discoideum [Berger EA, Clark JM: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80:4983, 19831. Here we provide genetic evidence to support this hypothesis by examining gene express
## Abstract We have previously shown that Ξ³βtubulin, the third member of the tubulin family that functions in microtubule nucleation, when overexpressed, accumulates throughout the cytoplasm and forms numerous ectopic microtubule nucleation sites in mammalian cells (Shu and Joshi [1995] J. Cell. Bi
Microtubules (MTs) contribute to the directional locomotion of many cell types through an unknown mechanism. Previously, we showed that low concentrations (Ο½200 nM) of nocodazole or taxol reduced the rate of locomotion of NRK fibroblasts over 60% without altering MT polymer level [Liao et al., 1995:
