In plants, both microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS) and viral movement proteins (MPs) interact with microtubules. Recently, a unique plant structural MAP has been cloned, which may have a ...

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 ...

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that helps to stabilize the structure of neurons, specifically by supporting microtubules ... plays a key role in the early stages of tau pathology.

The crucial role of FAM110A in the proper formation ... a bipolar structure called the mitotic spindle that is composed of microtubules. Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides its nucleus ...

In eukaryotes, microtubules are responsible for transport processes within the cell, and in Asgard archaea, they may have played a key role in the evolution of these microorganisms. In their study ...
