Abstract excerpt
Stathmin/Op18 destabilizes microtubules in vitro and regulates microtubule polymerization in vivo. Both a microtubule catastrophe-promoting activity and a tubulin sequestering activity were demonstrated for stathmin in vitro, and both could contribute to microtubule depolymerization in vivo. Stathmin activity can be turned down by extensive phosphorylation on its four phosphorylatable serines, and down-regulation...
