Kinesin-5 promotes microtubule nucleation and assembly by stabilizing a lattice-competent conformation of tubulin

Besides sliding apart antiparallel microtubules during spindle elongation, the mitotic kinesin-5, Eg5 promotes microtubule polymerization, emphasizing its importance in mitotic spindle length control. Here, we characterize the Eg5 microtubule polymerase mechanism by assessing motor-induced changes i...
