Accessory protein regulation of microtubule dynamics throughout the cell cycle.

Cassimeris L .


???displayArticle.abstract???
A number of accessory proteins capable of stabilizing or destabilizing microtubule polymers in dividing cells have been identified recently. Many of these accessory proteins are modified and regulated by cell-cycle-dependent phosphorylation. Through this regulation, microtubule dynamics are modified to generate rapid microtubule turnover during mitosis. In general, although some microtubule-stabilizing proteins are inactivated at entry into mitosis, a critical balance between microtubule stabilizers and destabilizers is necessary for assembly of the mitotic spindle.
