Abstract excerpt
The proper functioning of microtubules depends crucially on the availability of polymerizable alpha/beta tubulin dimers. Their production occurs concomitant with the folding of the tubulin polypeptides and is accomplished in part by proteins known as Cofactors A through E. In the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, this tubulin folding pathway is essential. We have taken advantage of the excellent cytology...
