In vitro Microtubule Bundling Assay under Physiological Conditions.

Zach Geisterfer1, Gin Tezuka1, Li Tao1.   

Abstract

Kinesins play a role in organizing the mitotic spindle through the crosslinking of microtubules (MTs), made possible through binding sites at opposite ends of the holoenzyme. Here, we developed a method to test kinesin MT crosslinking action under physiological conditions.
