AbstractMicrotubule cytoskeletons play pivotal roles in various cellular processes, including cell division and locomotion, by dynamically changing their length and distribution in cells through tubulin polymerization/depolymerization. Recent structural studies have revealed the polymorphic lattice structure of microtubules closely correlate with the microtubule dynamics, but the studies were limited to averaged structures.
