A mechanism that integrates microtubule motors of opposite polarity at the kinetochore corona

The paper identifies CENP-E's role in regulating DD kinetochore loading through the corona scaffold, ensuring coordinated bidirectional transport.

A non-canonical function for Centromere-associated protein-E (CENP-E)controls centrosome integrity and orientation of cell division

This study shows CENP-E removal leads to centrosome destabilization and oblique cell divisions, linking centrosomal defects to microcephaly.

Inner lumen proteins stabilize doublet microtubules in cilia/flagella

The paper identifies FAP45 and FAP52 as proteins that stabilize microtubules in cilia by binding to their inner structure and preventing detachment.
