Here we apply a method for tracking plus ends based on time difference imaging to measure depolymerization rates in large interphase asters growing in Xenopus egg extract. We observed strong spatial regulation of depolymerization rates, which were higher in the aster interior compared with the periphery, and much less regulation of polymerization or catastrophe rates. We interpret these data in terms of a limiting component model, where aster growth results in lower levels of soluble tubulin and microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) in the interior cytosol compared with that at the periphery. The steady-state polymer fraction of tubulin was ∼30%, so tubulin is not strongly depleted in the aster interior. We propose that the limiting component for microtubule assembly is a MAP that inhibits depolymerization, and that egg asters are tuned to low microtubule density."}],"publisher":"American Society for Cell Biology","publication":"Molecular Biology of the Cell","external_id":{"isi":["000641574700005"]},"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"679239","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"2595697A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Self-Organization of the Bacterial Cell"},{"_id":"260D98C8-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Reconstitution of Bacterial Cell Division Using Purified Components"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mbc.E20-11-0723","open_access":"1"}],"date_published":"2021-04-19T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1939-4586"],"issn":["1059-1524"]},"ec_funded":1,"status":"public","day":"19","publication_status":"published","oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_sa.png","short":"CC BY-NC-SA (3.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)"},"acknowledgement":"The authors thank the members of Mitchison, Brugués, and Jay Gatlin groups (University of Wyoming) for discussions.
