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.
