Their functions are primarily mechanical and ... providing strength and support for the fragile tubulin structures. All cells have intermediate filaments, but the protein subunits of these ...

The α-tubulin and β-tubulin monomers of the protofilaments ... arrangement of protofilaments and consequently impair the functions of MTs. The study also explored MT interactions with Taxol ...

MTs are composed of α-tubulin and β-tubulin proteins ... revealing potential for advancing drug discovery. Understanding MT function and protein interactions can guide the development of ...

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 that mimics a tubulin motif ...
