Microtubules are highly dynamic cytoskeletal fibers essential for the cell’s life. Their dynamics is intimately linked to the GTP hydrolysis of tubulin (β subunit) during polymerization. The metastable GDP-tubulin lattice is thought to be stabilized by the growing GTP-tubulin extremity, called the GTP cap. However, the nature of this cap as well as the conformational changes undergone by tubulin during GTP hydrolysis is still discussed. The current model suggests that the GTP-tubulin conformation is extended and that its hydrolysis provokes a compaction weakening the tubulin lateral interaction and thus the stability of the lattice. However, this model is based on structural studies of MT lattices formed from GMPCPP-tubulin, a slowly hydrol...
