We have previously identified a new centrosomal protein, protein 4.1-associated (CPAP), which is associated with the gamma-tubulin complex. Here, we report that CPAP carries novel microtubule-destabilizing motif not only inhibits microtubule nucleation from centrosome but also depolymerizes taxol-stabilized microtubules. Deletion mapping and functional analyses defined 112-residue necessary sufficient for destabilization. This directly recognizes plus end of centrosome. Biochemical revealed...
