Summary of the Dynamic Parameters Used in the Model

Model Parameters	Input Values
Growth rate vg	0.79 (μm/min)
Shrinkage rate vs	9.9 (μm/min)
Catastrophe frequency fgs	0.098 (min−1)
Rescue frequency fsg	3.12 (min−1)
Severing rate k	0.001–0.25 (μm−1⋅min−1)

The values used in the mathematical model are from previous experimental measurements (19). For testing the effect of microtubule dynamics, a severing rate of 0.05 μm⁻¹⋅min⁻¹ was used.
