10.3 The structure and composition of microtubules (MTS) MTS are hollow, cylindrical structures that occur in nearly every eukaryotic cell that has been scrutinized with EM. MTs have an outer diameter of 24- 25nm. a wall thickness of approximately 5 nm, and lengths that may extend across the length or breadth of a cell 1 Tubulin Globular tubulin subunits are arranged in 13 X longitudinal rows, termed protofilaments, that are aligned parallel to the long axis of the tubule There are three isoforms of tubulins: a, B, y tubulin, MT consists of a, B tubulin; y tubulin is held in MTOC to bind a B tubulin dimers
