Article Synopsis
- Alp14 is a microtubule polymerase from S. pombe that promotes growth at the plus ends of microtubules, working with Alp7, its binding partner.
- It operates effectively at much lower GTP-tubulin concentrations than typically required, although this increases the risk of microtubule destabilization or "catastrophe."
- Both Alp14 and Alp7 are essential for maintaining microtubule dynamics, and their combined action allows for the creation of stable and rapidly growing microtubules even when tubulin availability is low.
