Microtubule Lattice Spacing Governs MAP-Motor Regulation

Jonathan Fernandes, Joseph D. Slivka, Aryan Taheri, Qikai Zhang, Viola Zhao, Chuzida Chen, Parnika Kant, Ahmet Yıldız

The paper investigates how microtubule lattice spacing affects MAP binding and kinesin-1 motility, revealing that lattice spacing, not tubulin PTMs, primarily regulates these processes.

Structure and mechanism of microtubule stabilization and motor regulation by MAP9

Burak Çetin, Aryan Taheri, Mert Gölcük, Brigette Y. Monroy, Jonathan Fernandes, Kassandra M Ori-McKenney, Mert Gür, Eva Nogales, Ahmet Yıldız

This study identifies MAP9 as a microtubule stabilizer that promotes neuronal morphogenesis and differentially regulates kinesin motor activity.
