PRC1 resists microtubule sliding in two distinct resistive modes due to variations in the separation between overlapping microtubules

Daniel G. Steckhahn, Shane A. Fiorenza, Ellinor Tai…·Meredith D. Betterton

The paper develops a computational model of PRC1 crosslinked microtubule pairs to show that braking and coasting modes depend on lateral separation, with braking reducing sliding speed more effectively.

Insights into the role of phosphorylation on microtubule crosslinking by PRC1

Ellinor Tai, Austin Henglein, Angus Alfieri…·Scott T. Forth

This study investigates how phosphorylation of PRC1 affects microtubule crosslinking, showing that phosphorylation stabilizes smaller bundles while dephosphorylation promotes larger, more robust bundles.
