Figure 1. Tubulin in MT formation.

Figure 1

(A) Tubulin dimer. Light grey –α-tubulin, Dark Grey – β-tubulin. C-terminal tails extend from the main tubulin body. (B) B-lattice MT with protofilament highlighted. (C) Tubulin interactions in MT formation. Intradimer – between α- and β-tubulins, Longitudinal – between dimers in a protofilament, Lateral – between protofilaments.
