Kif4 interacts with EB1 and stabilizes microtubules downstream of Rho-mDia in migrating fibroblasts.

Selectively stabilized microtubules (MTs) form in the lamella of fibroblasts and contribute to cell migration. A Rho-mDia-EB1 pathway regulates the formation of stable MTs, yet how selective stabilization of MTs is achieved is unknown. Kinesin activity has been implicated in selective MT stabilizati...
