Table 2. Interphase MT dynamics in mal3Δ variant strains.

strain	growth (nm/sec)	length (µm)
mal3Δ	37±23 (n = 90)	2.1±0.3 (n = 54)
mal3Δ asp1H397A	54±35* ↑ (n = 91)	2.7±0.6* ↑ (n = 53)

Parameters of MT dynamics were measured for the indicated strains expressing nmt81::gfp-atb2⁺. Cells were grown in non-selective minimal medium. n, number of MTs measured; asterisks denote significance between mal3Δ and mal3Δ asp1^H397A; ↑, parameter is increased compared to mal3Δ. Growth: * p<0.0005 for mal3Δ asp1^H397A vs. mal3Δ (t-test). Length: * p<0.0005 for mal3Δ asp1^H397A vs. mal3Δ (t-test).
