Kinesin is involved in protecting nascent microtubules from disassembly after recovery from nocodazole treatment.

Abstract excerpt

Upon recovery from nocodazole treatment, microtubules from cultured epithelial cells exhibit unusual properties: they re-grow as fast as any highly dynamic microtubule, but they are also protected against disassembly when challenged with nocodazole like the stable microtubules of steady-state cells. Exploring the mechanism that underlies this protection, we found that it was sensitive to ATP treatment and that it...
