Spastin is a dual-function enzyme that severs microtubules and promotes their regrowth to increase the number and mass of microtubules

The remodeling of the microtubule cytoskeleton underlies dynamic cellular processes, such as mitosis, ciliogenesis, and neuronal morphogenesis. An important class of microtubule remodelers comprises the severases—spastin, katanin, and fidgetin—which cut microtubules into shorter fragments. While sev...
