Efa6 protects axons and regulates their growth and branching by inhibiting microtubule polymerisation at the cortex (2019)
Journal Article
Qu, Y., Hahn, I., Lees, M., Parkin, J., Voelzmann, A., Dorey, K., …Prokop, A. (2019). Efa6 protects axons and regulates their growth and branching by inhibiting microtubule polymerisation at the cortex. eLife, 8, Article e50319. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.50319

© 2019, Qu et al. Cortical collapse factors affect microtubule (MT) dynamics at the plasma membrane. They play important roles in neurons, as suggested by inhibition of axon growth and regeneration through the ARF activator Efa6 in C. elegans, and by...

Identification of key residues that regulate the interaction of kinesins with microtubule ends (2019)
Journal Article
Belsham, H. R., & Friel, C. T. (2019). Identification of key residues that regulate the interaction of kinesins with microtubule ends. Cytoskeleton, 76(7-8), 440-446. https://doi.org/10.1002/cm.21568

Kinesins are molecular motors that use energy derived from ATP turnover to walk along microtubules, or when at the microtubule end, regulate growth or shrinkage. All kinesins that regulate microtubule dynamics have long residence times at microtubule...
