High impact information on CLASP2

  • Antibody injections suggest that CLASP2 is required for the orientation of stabilized microtubules toward the leading edge [1].
  • CLASP1 and CLASP2 bind to EB1 and regulate microtubule plus-end dynamics at the cell cortex [2].
  • We find that ACF7 regulates cortical CLASP localization in HeLa cells, indicating it acts upstream of CLASP2 [3].
  • Our results suggest that the regional immobilization of CLASP2 allows MT stabilization and promotes directionally persistent motility in fibroblasts [3].
  • We show that the association of CLASP2 with the kinetochores relies on its C-terminal domain, but is independent of microtubules or association with CLIP-170 [4].
