Two types of catastrophe and their frequencies of occurrence. a Encounter-based catastrophe and b free catastrophe. White arrowheads mark CMT plus ends. Numbers indicate time in seconds. c, d MT length-changes over time, corresponding to the tracked MTs in (a and b), respectively. The stars mark the start and end of a pause. e Encounter-based catastrophe is the dominant type of CMT catastrophe. Data were obtained using GFP-TUB6 and EB1-GFP as MT reporters. For GFP-TUB6, n = 48 cells, 376 catastrophe events; for GFP-EB1b, n = 20 cells, 245 catastrophe events. Bars: a, b = 1 μm
