This study shows that microtubule lattice conformation and integrity regulate TAT1-mediated α-tubulin acetylation, with expanded lattices enhancing acetylation and compacted lattices reducing it.

The paper demonstrates that adherent cells maintain spatial gradients of membrane tension through actin dynamics and membrane-cortex attachments, with tension lowest at adhesion edges and highest at protrusions.

The paper identifies SYBU as a regulator of mitochondrial transport in breast cancer cells, showing that its loss leads to increased migration via a feedback loop involving microtubule deacetylation and kinesin-1 activity.

The paper shows that EB3 comet length at microtubule ends is independent of GTP-cap size, revealing a new mechanism involving phase separation and hydrodynamic instability.

This study examines how four monovalent ions affect microtubule dynamics in vitro, revealing distinct effects with Na+ destabilizing and Ac- stabilizing microtubules.
