End-binding proteins of the EB1 family bind to the stabilizing cap, allowing monitoring of its size in real time. The cap size has been shown to correlate with instantaneous microtubule stability. Here we have quantitatively characterized the properties of cap size fluctuations during steadystate growth and have developed a theory predicting their timescale and amplitude from the kinetics of microtubule growth and cap maturation. In contrast to growth speed fluctuations, cap size fluctuations show a characteristic timescale, which is defined by the lifetime of the cap sites. Growth fluctuations affect the amplitude of cap size fluctuations; however, cap size does not affect growth speed, indicating that microtubules are far from instability during most of their time of growth. Our theory provides the basis for a quantitative understanding of microtubule stability fluctuations during steady-state growth.","lang":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5380103/","open_access":"1"}],"department":[{"_id":"MaLo"}],"day":"28","type":"journal_article","pmid":1,"date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:08:09Z","month":"03"}
