Abstract
Tumor suppressor protein Adenomatous polyposis coli protein (APC) is an EB-binding and microtubule (MT) plus end-tracking protein; however, how exactly APC regulates MT dynamics remains elusive. Here, we show that in LLC-PK1 cells, APC and KIF2A, an MT depolymerase, form a complex clustering at the cell edge and destabilize MTs at the MT plus ends. Further biochemical characterization and mutational analysis reveal key residues for the APC-KIF2A interaction. In addition, APC counteracts the major MT-stabilizer CLASPs at MT plus ends and promotes directional cell migration via modulating cell adhesion force. Reconstitution experiments demonstrate that APC potentiates KIF2A-induced MT catastrophes and antagonizes the stabilizing effect of CLASP2 in vitro. In summary, APC functions as a positive regulator of MT-destabilizer and a negative regulator of MT-stabilizer to orchestrate MT dynamics.
