Figure 4

Relationship between fluorescence intensity (in arbitrary units) of Tyr-tubulin and Ac-tubulin at the mid-shaft and process length in 2-DIV neurons. (A) Intensity of Tyr-tubulin plotted against total axon length suggests an inverse relationship between length and amount of dynamic microtubules in the shaft, as predicted from previous work. (B) A plot of Tyr-tubulin and dendrite length does not show the same relationship. (C, D) Measures of Ac-tubulin in axons (C) and dendrites (D) are not suggestive of a linear relationship either. n = 16 neurons.
