Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a novel centrosomal protein CPAP, which carries a 112-residue motif that is essential for microtubule destabilization. In this report, we define both the microtubule (MT) binding and destabilizing domains in human CPAP and analyze the mutations that affect its MT-destabilizing activity. Analysis of a series of CPAP truncated proteins showed that the MT-binding domain (MBD; residues...
