Abstract excerpt
Microtubules (MTs) are cytoskeletal components whose structural integrity is mandatory for the execution of many basic cell functions. Utilizing parental and drug-resistant ovarian carcinoma cell lines that have acquired point mutations in beta-tubulin and p53, we studied the level of expression and modification of proteins involved in apoptosis and MT integrity. Extending previous results, we demonstrated...
