(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.
