How can you use “microtubule” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
After 2-4 days of subculturing, the cells (approximately 50% of confluency) were cultured in the medium supplemented with 0.3 μg/ml nocodazole (Sigma), a microtubule polymerization inhibitor, for 10 h to induce G2/M phase arrest.
1. In developing the quantitative tubulin ELISA, either microtubule protein from pig brain containing unknown amounts of tubulin or a known amount of PC-tubulin was used as the experimental sample.
During this transition, tightly-regulated post-translational phosphorylation-dephosphorylation events and proteasome-mediated proteolytic reactions regulate the activation and inactivation of signal transduction pathways that control chromatin condensation, nuclear membrane dissolution, microtubule nucleation, and formation of a haploid oocyte [ 8 9 10 ] . Several kinases that exert major roles during OM include maturation promoting factor (MPF) [ 9 11 ] , mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) [ 12 13 ] , and the product of the c-mos protooncogene Mos kinase [ 14 15 ] . Also, during OM oocytes undergo two highly-regulated metaphase-anaphase transitions (MAT) in which homologous chromosomes are equally and randomly segregated to an oocyte and first polar body and a subsequent division in which equational division of sister chromatids results in a haploid oocyte and a second polar body.
Initial analysis of approximately 157,000 SAGE tags from PC12 cells cultured without or with NGF for 9 days revealed nearly 800 transcripts (of a total of at least 21,000) that are regulated by ± 6-fold or greater in response to NGF [ 11 ] . Of these, approximately 150 were assignable to named genes of known functions that regulate cellular behaviors ranging from actin and microtubule cytoskeleton assembly/disassembly, gene transcription, RNA processing, neurotransmission, and energetics.
The top and bottom faces of the subunit, which we call longitudinal, contact subunits above and below it in the protofilament; the right and left faces, which we call lateral, contact subunits in adjacent protofilaments; and the front and back faces correspond to the outside and inside of the microtubule.
