Acetylated α-tubulin residue K394 regulates microtubule stability to shape the growth of axon terminals

H. A. J. Saunders, D. M. Johnson-Schlitz, B. V. Jenkins, P. J. Volkert, S. Z. Yang, J. Wildonger

This study shows that acetylation of α-tubulin K394 regulates microtubule stability, affecting axon terminal growth in motoneurons, with neuron-type-specific responses.

Golgi outposts locally regulate microtubule orientation in neurons but are not required for the overall polarity of the dendritic cytoskeleton

S. Z. Yang, J. Wildonger

The paper investigates the role of Golgi outposts in regulating microtubule orientation in neurons, finding they locally influence polarity but are not required for overall dendritic cytoskeleton polarity.
