Abstract
All microtubules assemble from tubulin subunits, but the functional impact of tubulin isotypes has been unclear. Reporting in Developmental Cell, Chaaban etal. (2018) and Ti etal. (2018) show that tubulin isotypes differ in their conformational flexibility, which alters microtubule dynamics and architecture, yet maintain "lock-and-key" interactions with neighbors.
