Abstract
Microtubule-severing enzymes, which can remove tubulin dimers from microtubule lattices, participate in cytoskeletal remodeling in various contexts. A recent study showed that partially damaged microtubule shafts and new microtubule ends generated by these enzymes can incorporate GTP-tubulin and serve as sites of microtubule rescue and re-growth, explaining how severing enzymes
