Curved microtubule regions mark sites of lattice compaction in cells and neurons

Angstrom-scale changes in microtubule (MT) lattice spacing regulate the selective recruitment of MT-associated proteins, yet how these structural states operate in cells remains poorly understood.

Angstrom-scale changes in microtubule (MT) lattice spacing regulate the selective recruitment of MT-associated proteins, yet how these structural states operate in cells remains poorly understood. Here, we show that MT lattice expansion, induced by protein-based expanders or…
