Structural insight into TPX2-stimulated microtubule assembly

Structural insight into TPX2-stimulated microtubule assembly

During mitosis and meiosis, microtubule (MT) assembly is locally upregulated by the chromatin-dependent Ran-GTP pathway. One of its key targets is the MT-associated spindle assembly factor TPX2. The molecular mechanism of how TPX2 stimulates MT assembly remains unknown because structural information...
