Microtubules in Microorganisms: How Tubulin Isotypes Contribute to Diverse Cytoskeletal Functions
The cellular functions of the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton range from relatively simple to amazingly complex. Assembled from tubulin, a heterodimeric protein with α- and β-tubulin subunits, microtubules are long, hollow cylindrical filaments with inherent polarity. They are intrinsically dynamic po...
