Tau avoids the GTP cap at growing microtubule plus ends

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) are a group of proteins that associate with the growing end of microtubules and mediate important cellular functions including neural development and cell division. Work in recent years has shown that the majority of +TIPs are directed to the plus-end through a family of end binding proteins (EBs), which preferentially bind the stabilizing cap of GTP-tubulin present during microt...
