The microtubule-severing enzyme spastin regulates spindle dynamics to promote chromosome segregation in Trypanosoma brucei
Abstract Microtubule-severing enzymes play essential roles in diverse cellular processes, including mitosis and cytokinesis, by modulating microtubule dynamics. In the early branching Trypanosoma brucei, microtubule-severing enzymes are involved in cytokinesis and flagellum length control, but none...
