Actin-microtubule crosstalk diversifies cytoskeletal networks. A new study provides insight into how the microtubule polymerase CKAP5 mediates actin-microtubule crosstalk. CKAP5 directs the assembly of stable actin bundles on dynamic microtubules; in turn, the actin bundles align growing microtubules along their length.
