Microtubule Acetylation Is Required for Mechanosensation in Drosophila

Summary: At the cellular level, α-tubulin acetylation alters the structure of microtubules to render them mechanically resistant to compressive forces. How this biochemical property of microtubule acetylation relates to mechanosensation remains unknown, although prior studies have shown that microtu...
