If microtubules break, the result is much like what happens when a railroad track is damaged.

Further, he found the signature memristor effect: When he reversed the flow of electricity, as in an alternating current, the efficiency of the conductance increased, as if the microtubule had remembered the current that previously passed through it.

The researcher explains that «if the microtubule has traces of tyrosine, the CENP - E carrier rests and doesn't transport any chromosomes from the pole; but should the microtubules have no tyrosine signal, as it happens with the system's main microtubules, the CENP - E tows the chromosomes to the spindle equator.»

Which of these becomes dominant depends on the relative concentrations of the tubulins and the motor proteins: In a certain concentration range the dynamic equilibrium between growth and shrinkage of the microtubules operates as it would if resources were not limiting.

Kemp and Payne realized that if they could anchor the reporter protein to microtubules — fibrous structures that crisscross cells like railroad tracks — they might obtain the location information they needed.

His team discovered that tubulin proteins were among them, and then found that if a kind of reverse agent were administered — a microtubule - stabilizing drug — so were the anesthetic effects.

If you imagine the female egg cell (and later, the fertilized egg) as a spherical planet with its own intrinsic biological geography, then certain characteristics of that cell — the location of protein molecules or RNA messages or biochemical traits like pH or even the internal connective structures called microtubules — will be more prominent in certain regions, like one hemisphere as opposed to the other, or near the surface rather than near the core.

«If we can learn more about the interactions between the actin and microtubule systems, we could translate this knowledge into improved cotton fibers and trichome plant defense systems in crop species.
