“Tentacles” of these structures are being studied for insight into breast cancer cell metastasis. AAA proteins like spastin and katanin regulate the size and number of these structures. The 13-fold symmetry of gamma-TuRCs creates a cap and scaffold for the assembly of these structures. Hydrolysis of GTP to GDP at the ends of these structures leads to the “catastrophe” phase of their characteristic (*) “dynamic instability.” These structures are nucleated at namesake “organizing centers” composed of a centrosome surrounded by pericentriolar material. ATP-dependent kinesin and dynein motors “walk” along these structures. Basal bodies anchor the development of the 9+2 configurations of these structures to form cilia and flagella. For 10 points, name these cytoskeleton-forming structures composed of tubulin. ■END■
