The microtubule-binding activity of MAPs is controlled by ____________

1.	The microtubule-binding activity of MAPs is controlled by ______________(a) phosphorylation(b) oxidation(c) reduction(d) hydrolysisThis question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is Cytoskeleton topic in division Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility of Cell Biology
Answer» The correct answer is (a) phosphorylation The explanation: Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) increase the stability and promote the assembly of MICROTUBULES. Their BINDING activity is controlled by addition and REMOVAL of phosphate GROUPS from particular AMINO acid residues.
