The role of tubulin-tubulin lattice contacts in the mechanism of microtubule dynamic instability

Microtubules form from longitudinally and laterally assembling tubulin α/β-dimers. The assembly induces strain in tubulin, resulting in cycles of microtubule catastrophe and regrowth. This so-called dynamic instability is governed by GTP hydrolysis that renders the microtubule lattice unstable, but...
