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 ...

Proteins containing disordered domains perform many important cellular functions. My lab currently has two main projects, one to dissect the role of tubulin's C-terminal tail in microtubule structure ...

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 ...
