Abstract

Microtubule dynamics is controlled and amplified in vivo by complex sets of regulators. Among these regulatory proteins, molecular motors from the kinesin superfamily are taking an increasing importance. Here we review how microtubule disassembly or assembly into interphase microtubules, mitotic spindle or cilia may involve kinesins and how protein kinases may participate in these kinesin-dependent regulations.
