MAP7 regulates axon morphogenesis by recruiting kinesin-1 to microtubules and modulating organelle transport
Neuronal cell morphogenesis depends on proper regulation of microtubule-based transport, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we report our study of MAP7, a unique microtubule-associated protein that interacts with both microtubules and the motor protein kinesin-1. Structure-...
