An anchoring complex recruits katanin for microtubule severing at the plant cortical nucleation sites

Katanin severs microtubules to facilitate array reorientation and amplification. Here the authors show that a conserved centrosomal complex of Msd1 and Wdr8 recruits katanin to cortical nucleation sites in acentrosomal plant cells and stabilizes daughter microtubules until they are severed by katani...
