The Expression and Function of Tubulin Isotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans
Microtubules, made from the polymerization of the highly conserved α/β-tubulin heterodimers, serve as important components of the cytoskeleton in all eukaryotic cells. The existence of multiple tubulin isotypes in metazoan genomes and a dazzling variety of tubulin posttranslational modifications (PT...
