Abstract
Microtubules play an essential role in the growth and development of plants and are known to be involved in regulating many cellular processes ranging from translation to signaling. In this article, we describe the proteomic characterization of Arabidopsis tubulin-binding proteins that were purified using tubulin affinity chromatography. Microtubule co-sedimentation assays indicated that most, if not all, of the proteins in the tubulin-binding protein fraction possessed microtubule-binding activity. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the tubulin-binding protein fraction was performed, and 86 protein spots were excised and analyzed for protein identification. A total of 122 proteins were identified with high confidence using LC-MS/MS. These proteins were grouped into six categories based on their predicted functions: microtubule-associated proteins, translation factors, RNA-binding proteins, signaling proteins, metabolic enzymes, and proteins with other functions. Almost one-half of the proteins identified in this fraction were related to proteins that have previously been reported to interact with microtubules. This study represents the first large-scale proteomic identification of eukaryotic cytoskeleton-binding proteins, and provides insight on subcellular trafficking, metabolic channeling, and signaling in plant cells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
