Title: Regulation of microtubule dynamics by cdc2 protein kinase in cell-free extracts of Xenopus eggs.
Authors: Verde, F., Labbe, J.

Subjects: Molecular biology
Abstract: Demonstrates that the interphase-metaphase transition of microtubule arrays is under the control of the cdc2 kinase that precisely regulates the dynamics and steady-state length of microtubules. Microtubule elongation and steady-state length; Microtubule dynamics and cdc2 kinase; Microtubule dynamics and phosphorylation; Mean microtubule length and cdc2 kinase activity; Discussion.
