| Abstract | GTP hydrolysis accompanies addition of tubulin to microtubules. I find that hydrolysis is a requirement for the opposite-end assembly/disassembly of microtubules and consequent subunit treadmilling from one end to the other of the polymer. Neither GDP nor guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate allows or participates in the treadmilling reaction. Therefore, there is a requirement for hydrolysis in the addition of subunits to the favored assembly end of the microtubule. Podophyllotoxin, an assembly inhibitory drug, 'caps' the microtubule assembly end, preventing subunit loss from that site to equilibrium. Continued hydrolysis of GTP is required to maintain the podophyllotoxin cap. A corollary of this finding is that GTP hydrolysis is required for cap formation. Microtubules assembled in GTP enter a metastable state when all remaining GTP is hydrolyzed. This state is characterized by its ability to maintain indefinitely a subunit/polymer distribution ratio that is arbitrary and that can be altered at will by brief chilling or by addition of small amounts of GTP. This metastable state is labile to podophyllotoxin. Use of podophyllotoxin allows measurement of the microtubule treadmilling rate; use of podophyllotoxin in the absence of GTP allows measurement of the overall rate of dimer dissociation from the microtubule. Measurement of these rates has permitted determination of the efficiency with which adding dimers incorporate into the microtubule treadmill and are not lost to assembly end equilibrium. The efficiency varies with GTP concentration for unknown reasons, being high at 0.1 mM GTP and low at higher GTP concentrations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
