Example sentences for: microtubules

How can you use “microtubules” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The study suggested that actin fibers and microtubules interact together via myosins and that myosin-based contractility of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for the developmental progression of root cells [ 75].

  • For example, total amounts of polymerizable tubulin are decreased in paclitaxel-resistant cells, whereas col-cemid-resistant tubulin or vinca alkaloid-resistant cells have increased levels of assembled tubulin [ 34 66 67 ] . Furthermore, when cells were transfected with β-tubulin class III, weak resistance to paclitaxel was found, and this resistance was associated with decreased microtubule stability [ 68 ] . This is consistent with the different modes of action of these drugs: paclitaxel stabilizes microtubules and colcemid inhibits tubulin assembly.

  • Kinesins have been identified in Arabidopsis and other plant systems [ 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] and their movement along microtubules has been analyzed [ 16, 17, 18, 19].

  • In contrast, depolymerizing microtubules with nocodazole did not change the distribution of these transcripts between the cytosolic and cytoskeleton fractions (data not shown).

  • The spindle, which is composed of microtubules, pulls the chromatids apart so that two complete sets of chromosomes are gathered together at each pole of the cell, which can then divide.
