A mutation uncouples the tubulin conformational and GTPase cycles, revealing allosteric control of microtubule dynamics

Microtubule dynamic instability depends on the GTPase activity of the polymerizing αβ-tubulin subunits, which cycle through at least three distinct conformations as they move into and out of microtubules. How this conformational cycle contributes to microtubule growing, shrinking, and switching rema...
