Abstract
CAMSAPs (calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated proteins) are a family of microtubule binding proteins (MAPs) that have functions in the tracking, decoration and stabilization of the microtubule minus end. Recently, CAMSAPs have been also suggested to act as microtubule nucleators, highlighting their importance in microtubule network organization. Nevertheless, little is known about the molecular basis that allows CAMSAPs to stabilize/nucleate microtubules. Recent structural studies have shown that microtubules can take diverse conformations depending on their binding states with nucleotides, proteins and chemical agents.
