XMAP215/Stu2/Alp14 accelerates tubulin polymerization while processively tracking microtubule (MT) plus ends via tumor overexpressed gene (TOG) domain arrays. It remains poorly understood how these functions arise from tubulin recruitment, mediated by the distinct TOG1 and TOG2 domains, or the assembly of these arrays into large square complexes. Here, we describe a relationship between MT plus-end tracking and polymerase functions revealing their distinct origin within TOG arrays. We study Alp1 ...[more]
