Abstract excerpt
The main structural components of microtubules are alpha- and beta-tubulins. A group of proteins called cofactors are crucial in the formation of assembly-competent tubulin molecules in vitro. Whilst an in vitro role is emerging for these cofactors, their biological functions in vivo remain to be established. In order to understand the fundamental mechanisms that determine cell polarity, we have screened for...
