- 🚨 Paper Alert 🚨 Our preprint describing Elongator as a selective microtubule polymerase that rewrites PTMs on microtubules is now published! Check it out: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
- In the original draft, we showed that Elongator binds to microtubules irrespective of their PTMs, but selectively elongates them using polyglutamylated tubulin subunits. As a result, Elongator rewrites the tubulin code of dynamic microtubules. How cool is that?
- During revisions, we've added lots of exciting new data, so be sure to check out the paper! Most importantly, we now demonstrate that Elongator regulates polyglutamylation levels of spindle microtubules, both in cells and in vivo.Jan 17, 2025 09:46
