Polym, polymerization; depolym, depolymerization; μm, micron; min, minute; sec, second. Values are mean ± SEM of measurements from at least 32 microtubules in cells imaged for at least 240 seconds at 4 second intervals. Values in bold italics are significantly different from wild-type controls (p<0.05), based on a students t-test.
