A hypothesis on the origin and evolution of tubulin

RF Ludueña - International review of cell and molecular biology, 2013 - Elsevier
Tubulin, the protein subunit of microtubules (MTs), is an α/β heterodimer. In this chapter, a
hypothesis on the evolution of the tubulin molecule is proposed, based in part on recent …
