Method |
To determine whether budding yeast Kip3p is a microtubule
depolymerase, the full-length His-tagged protein was expressed in
insect cells, purified to homogeneity and its activity measured in
sedimentation assays. |
Comments |
Although MCAK acts at both ends,
it depolymerizes the minus end 1.7±0.2 times faster than the plus end
(mean ± s.d., n = 26). |
