Cytoplasmic Dynein and Dynactin Are Required for the Transport of Microtubules into the Axon

Ahmad, Fridoon J., Echeverri, Christophe J., Vallee, Richard B., Baas, Peter W.

Previous work from our laboratory suggested that microtubules are released from the neuronal centrosome and then transported into the axon (Ahmad, F.J., and P.W. Baas. 1995. J. Cell Sci. 108:...

An Essential Role for Katanin in Severing Microtubules in the Neuron

Ahmad, Fridoon J., Yu, Wenqian, McNally, Francis J., Baas, Peter W.

Several lines of evidence suggest that microtubules are nucleated at the neuronal centrosome, and then released for transport into axons and dendrites. Here we sought to determine whether the...
