Tyrphostin AG-1714 and several related molecules with the general structure of nitro-benzene malononitrile (BMN) disrupt microtubules in a large variety of cultured cells. This process can be inhibited by the stabilization of microtubules with taxol or by pretreatment of the cells with pervanadate,
To examine whether microtubule dynamic instability can be rapidly regulated during interphase, we used video-enhanced differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy to observe individual microtubules at the periphery of living newt lung epithelial cells. Microtubules were observed before and af
Microtubules are known to be required for locomotion of mammalian cells, and recent experiments demonstrate that suppression of microtubule dynamic turnover reduces the rate of cell motility and induces wandering of growth cones [Liao et al., 1995: J Cell Sci. 108:3473-3483; Tanaka et al., 1995: J C
