Two-step interphase microtubule disassembly aids spindle morphogenesis

Abstract Background Entry into mitosis triggers profound changes in cell shape and cytoskeletal organisation. Here, by studying microtubule remodelling in human flat mitotic cells, we identify a two-step process of interphase microtubule disassembly. Results First, a microtubule-stabilising protein,...
