International audience. The authors of this study employ budding yeast to model a disease-correlated tubulin mutation to determine how it leads to microtubule dysfunction. They find that the mutation leads to alterations in microtubule dynamics, tubulin isotype usage, and a spindle positioning defect that is due to disrupted microtubule-binding by a dynein regulator.
