摘要

Microtubules are highly dynamic filaments assembled from αβ-tubulin heterodimers and play important roles in many cellular processes, including cell division and migration. Microtubule dynamics is tightly regulated by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that function by binding to microtubules or free tubulin dimers. Here, we report that FOR20 (FOP-related protein of 20?kDa), a conserved protein critical for ciliogenesis and cell cycle progression, is a previously uncharacterized MAP that facilitates microtubule depolymerization and promotes cell migration. FOR20 not only directly binds to microtubules but also regulates microtubule dynamics in vitro by decreasing the microtubule growth rate and increasing the depolymerization rate and catastrophe frequency. In the in vitro microtubule dynamics assays, FOR20 appears to preferentially interact with free tubulin dimers over microtubules. Depletion of FOR20 inhibits microtubule depolymerization and promotes microtubule regrowth after the nocodazole treatment in HeLa cells. In addition, FOR20 knockdown significantly inhibits both individual and collective migration of mammalian cells. Taken together, these data suggest that FOR20 functions as a MAP to promote microtubule depolymerization and cell migration.
