Abstract

A multitude of microtubule-based motors drives diverse forms of intracellular transport and generates forces for maintaining the dynamic structural organization of cytoplasm. Recent work has illuminated the functions and mechanisms of action of some microtubule motors, and appears to have uncovered unforseen functional interactions between tubulin-based and actin-based systems.
