XMAP from Xenopus eggs promotes rapid plus end assembly of microtubules and rapid microtubule polymer turnover
We have used video-enhanced DIC microscopy to examine the effects of XMAP, a Mr 215,000 microtubule-associated protein from Xenopus eggs (Gard, D.L., and M. W. Kirschner. 1987. J. Cell Biol. 105:2203-2215), on the dynamic instability of microtubules nucleated from axoneme fragments in vitro. Our res...
