This study shows that an intrinsically disordered domain of CKAP2 can catalyze microtubule polymerization and depolymerization, challenging the requirement for a stable structure in enzymatic activity.

This study identifies Maspin as a cytoskeleton-binding protein that modulates cell shape and prevents epithelial-mesenchymal transition by interacting with microtubules and microfilaments.

This study identifies CKAP2 as a microtubule growth factor that regulates microtubule dynamics and ensures accurate chromosome segregation, with its loss leading to segregation errors and aneuploidy.
