Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the process of creating protein polymers. The process of creating protein polymers, compounds composed of a large number of component monomers; polymeric proteins may be made up of different or identical monomers. Polymerization occurs by the addition of extra monomers to an existing poly- or oligomeric protein. The addition of tubulin heterodimers to one or both ends of a microtubule. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of protein complex assembly. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization by the addition or removal of tubulin heterodimers from a microtubule. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the process of creating protein polymers. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the formation, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of cytoskeletal structures. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of microtubule polymerization. Assembly or disassembly of microtubules by the addition or removal of tubulin heterodimers from a microtubule.
