The process by which protein polymers, compounds composed of a large number of component monomers, are broken down. Depolymerization occurs by the successive removal of monomers from an existing poly- or oligomeric protein. Assembly or disassembly of microtubules by the addition or removal of tubulin heterodimers from a microtubule. The removal of tubulin heterodimers from one or both ends of a microtubule. The removal of tubulin heterodimers from the plus end of a microtubule.
