text: If this hypothesis were found to be valid, three potential explanations for increased microtubule stability, which center on microtubule regulatory proteins, seemed most plausible: first, an increased number of polymer nucleating microtubule organizing centers, and thus of their constituent γ-tubulin ( Joshi et al., 1992 ); second, a decrease in translation elongation factor-1α (EF-1α), which has microtubule severing activity ( Shiina et al., 1994 ); and third, an increase in the predominant cardiac microtubule-associated protein, MAP 4, which binds to and thereby may stabilize microtubules ( Bulinski and Borisy, 1979 , 1980 ).
