Abstract excerpt
Normal assembly and function of microtubules require maintenance of the proper levels of several proteins, including the tubulin polypeptides themselves. For example, in yeast a significant excess of beta-tubulin causes rapid microtubule disassembly and subsequent cell death. Even the modest excess of beta-tubulin produced by genetic alterations such as deletion of the minor alpha-tubulin gene TUB3 affects cell...
