The microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) kinesin and dynein can: Interact with the plasma membrane and microtubules to define the shape of animal cells. Form a complex between microtubules and actin filaments to interact with chromosomes during cell division Specifically interact with microtubules and vesicles and actively move them around the cell Bind actin filaments at the negative end and prevent disassembly of the polymer
