interact with microtubules. Recently, a unique plant structural MAP has been cloned, which may have a specialized function in cell division. Other recent work has identified a viral MP sequence ...

Microtubules are composed of a protein called tubulin, which consists of alpha and beta subunits that assemble into large, tube-shaped filaments within the cell. These fibers are dynamic, growing from ...

Microtubules tend to grow out from the centrosome to the plasma membrane. In nondividing cells, microtubule networks radiate out from the centrosome to provide the basic organization of the ...

Their main role is to arrange the microtubules during cell division. Centrioles are found in animal cells but are not ...

Microtubules serve many purposes within a cell. One of their most important functions is to act as molecular “highways” along which materials can move throughout the cell. Microtubules are made of ...
