Abstract
Nucleation of microtubule (MT) organization of the cytoplasmic microtubule complex (CMTC) from the microtubule organizing centres (MTOC) was studied in enucleated cytoplasts of human diploid fibroblast (MRC-5) and mouse peritoneal macrophages in culture. Cytoplasts of both cell types could not organize the complete CMTC. Aberrant MT patterns were seen in MRC-5 cells while mouse macrophages showed occurrence of few short MT. The studies suggest that nucleus may have a role in determining CMTC.
