Abstract excerpt
Microtubule plus end-binding protein, EB1 is a key regulator of microtubule dynamics. Auto-inhibitory interaction in EB1 has previously been shown to inhibit its ability to bind to microtubules and regulate microtubule dynamics. However, the factors that promote its microtubule regulatory activity by over-coming the auto-inhibition are less known. Here, we show that GTP plays a critical role in promoting the...
