Abstract
Microtubules (MTs) and actin filaments (AFs) are the major cytoskeletons in plant cells. The former functions in cellular morphogenesis and cell division, while the latter functions in intracellular transport including cytoplasmic streaming and positioning of organelles. To accomplish such functions, cytoskeletons are organized into a variety of ordered structures, and to organize such structures, a variety of regulatory proteins are thought to be involved. Therefore, identification and characterization of all regulatory proteins are necessary to understand the mechanism of cellular functions performed by cytoskeletons. For this purpose, tobacco BY-2 cells have significantly contributed to physiological and biochemical approaches (Nagata et al. 1992; Shibaoka et al. 1995; Sonobe 1996). Here, we will introduce plant cytoskeletal components including microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and actin binding proteins (ABPs), which have been found biochemically by our group using tobacco BY-2 cells.
