The microtubule-severing protein UNC-45A preferentially binds to curved microtubules and counteracts the microtubule-straightening effects of Taxol

Uncoordinated protein 45A (UNC-45A) is the only known ATP-independent microtubule (MT)-severing protein. Thus, it severs MTs via a novel mechanism. In vitro and in cells, UNC-45A–mediated MT severing is preceded by the appearance of MT bends. While MTs are stiff biological polymers, in cells, they o...
