Abstract

Microtubules - metabolism Animals Humans Microtubules - physiology Adenosine Triphosphatases - metabolism Katanin Cell Movement - physiology
New evidence suggests that katanin - best known for severing microtubules in their more stable regions - localizes at the leading edge of migratory cells and trims microtubules at their dynamic plus ends.
