Nucleotide– and Mal3-dependent changes in fission yeast microtubules suggest a structural plasticity view of dynamics
Microtubules are vital and highly conserved components of the cytoskeleton. Here the authors carry out a structural analysis of fission yeast microtubules in the presence and absence of the microtubule end-binding protein Mal3 that demonstrates structural plasticity amongst microtubule polymers.
