Abstract: The proper organization of the microtubule-based spindle during cell division requires the collective activity of many different proteins. These include non-motor microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), whose functions include crosslinking microtubules to regulate filament sliding rates and… read more here.

Abstract: Microtubule-based vesicle trafficking usually relies upon kinesin and dynein motors and few reports describe microtubule polymerisation driving directional vesicle trafficking. Here we show that Arabidopsis END BINDING1b (EB1b), a microtubule plus-end binding protein, directly interacts… read more here.
