| description | Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 1 (EB1) belongs to the RP/EB family, which consists of MAPRE1 (EB1), MAPRE2 (RP1, also known as EB2) and MAPRE3 (EBF3, also known as EB3). EB1 binds to the plus end of microtubules and regulates the dynamics of the microtubule cytoskeleton. EB1 contains an N-terminal calponin homology (CH) domain that is responsible for the interaction with microtubules (MTs), and a C-terminal coiled coil domain that extends into a four-helix bundle, required for dimer formation []. Through their C-terminal sequences, EBs interact with most other known +TIPs (plus end tracking proteins) and recruit many of them to the growing MT ends [, ]. EB1 is involved in MT anchoring at the centrosome and cell migration []. |
