Severing Enzymes Amplify Microtubule Arrays Through Lattice GTP-Tubulin Incorporation
September 13, 2018, via Science
New research published in Science details exciting mechanism for microtubule amplification involving the severing enzymes spastin and katanin and in the absence of a nucleating factor. Video of microtubule damage and subsequent repair was acquired using a Nikon TIRF microscope.
