Odde, Current Biol. 15, R956-R959 (2005) Current Biology Figure 2. A hypotical model for force-assembly coupling at pole. (A) Microtubule minus ends embedded in pole (dark blue) tend to depolymerize slowly when under low sliding force (F sliding ). That depolymerization occurs at all may be because a depolymerase (red circles), such as Klp10A (Kinesin- 13), acts at pole to Pole increase depolymerization velocity (V depoly ) locally. (B) If sliding force is increased, n concentration depolymerase 6 increases locally so that pole TUBULIN REMOVAL below a threshold concentration Kinesin-5. Goshima et al. [2] acknowledge that or coupling assumptions might be considered as well, that furr evaluation will be needed. For example, recent analysis budding yeast Xenopus extract s suggest that tension on can trigger a bias towards assembly, or attenuation disassembly, at plus ends [10,11].
