Structural model of microtubule dynamics inhibition by Kinesin-4 from the crystal structure of KLP-12 - tubulin complex

S. Taguchi, J. Nakano, T. Imasaki, T. Kita, Y. Saijo-Hamano, N. Sakai, H. Shigematsu, H. Okuma, T. Shimizu, E. Nitta, S. Kikkawa, S. Mizobuchi, S. Niwa, R. Nitta

The paper reports the crystal structure of KLP-12-tubulin complex, revealing how KLP-12 inhibits microtubule dynamics by altering tubulin curvature.

CAMSAP2 organizes a γ-tubulin-independent microtubule nucleation centre

T. Imasaki, S. Kikkawa, S. Niwa, Y. Saijo-Hamano, H. Shigematsu, K. Aoyama, K. Mitsuoka, M. Aoki, A. Sakamot, Y. Tomabechi, N. Sakai, M. Shirouz, S. Taguchi, Y. Yamagish, T. Setsu, , R. Nitta

The paper shows CAMSAP2 nucleates microtubules from soluble β-tubulin without γ-tubulin, reducing the nucleation barrier and forming aster-like structures.
