Below is a brief summary of the dissertation:
Microtubules (MTs) are cytoskeletal elements that play a vital role in the cell and have a broad range of activities - from mitosis to axon stabilization and from cellular movement to intracellular transport. MTs can be static and stable structures, but also incredibly dynamic. MT dynamics are tightly regulated on multiple levels. This includes their composition, i.e. the different tubulin isotypes that are incorporated, post-translational modifications of MTs, and by the proteins that bind to MTs. In this thesis we examined the MT-associated proteins KIF2A, CLIP-115 and CLIP-170. We studied how they are regulated and how they affect the dynamics and stability of MTs.
