  • PubMed Abstract: 

    In vertebrate spindles, most microtubules are formed via branching microtubule nucleation, whereby microtubules nucleate along the side of pre-existing microtubules. Hepatoma up-regulated protein (HURP) is a microtubule-associated protein that has been implicated in spindle assembly, but its mode of action is yet to be defined. In this study, we show that HURP is necessary for RanGTP-induced branching microtubule nucleation in Xenopus egg extract. Specifically, HURP stabilizes the microtubule lattice to promote microtubule formation from γ-TuRC. This function is shifted to promote branching microtubule nucleation through enhanced localization to TPX2 condensates, which form the core of the branch site on microtubules. Lastly, we provide a high-resolution cryo-EM structure of HURP on the microtubule, revealing how HURP binding stabilizes the microtubule lattice. We propose a model in which HURP stabilizes microtubules during their formation, and TPX2 preferentially enriches HURP to microtubules to promote branching microtubule nucleation and thus spindle assembly.
