Regulatory mechanisms of ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel revealed by recent advancements in structural studies.

abstract：:The term 'microtubule dynamics' is often used to describe assembly/disassembly characteristics of this important cytoskeletal polymer. The ability to image microtubules in live Dictyostelium cells has revealed additional dynamic components, acting on the individual assembled tubules. At least two separate forces are i...
