Processes induced by tau expression in Sf9 cells have an axon-like microtubule organization.
1 Dec 1991
Abstract excerpt
We have indirectly analyzed the role of tau in generating the highly organized microtubule (MT) array of the axon. Axons contain MT arrays of uniform polarity orientation, plus ends distal to the cell body (Heidemann, S. R., J. M. Landers, and M. A. Hamborg. 1981. J. Cell Biol. 91:661-673). Surprisingly, these MTs do not radiate from a single discrete nucleating structure in the cell body (Sharp, G. A., K. Weber,...
