Based on observations of microtubule dynamics in Xenopus extracts and in vivo, it has been assumed that the pool of interphase microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are more potent microtubule stabilizers than their mitotic counterparts. The aim of this study was to test that assumption, and two qu

Higher plants possess four distinct microtuble arrays. One of these, the cortical array, is involved in orienting the deposition of cellulose microfibrils. This plant interphase array is also notable because it contains exceptionally dynamic microtubules. Although the primary sequence of plant and a
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
