Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Phosphorylation of end-binding protein 1 (EB1), a key member of microtubule plus end-tracking proteins (+TIPs), by apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) has been demonstrated to promote the stability of astral microtubules during mitosis by stimulating the binding of EB1 to microtubule plus ends. However, the roles of other members of the +TIPs family in ASK1/EB1-mediated regulation of astral microtubules are unknown. Herein, we show that ASK1-mediated phosphorylation of EB1 enhances the localization of cytoplasmic linker protein 170 (CLIP-170) and p150^glued to the plus ends of astral microtubules. Depletion of ASK1 or expression of phospho-deficient or phospho-mimetic EB1 mutants results in changes in the levels of plus-end localized CLIP-170 or p150^glued. Mechanistic studies reveal that EB1 phosphorylation promotes its interactions with CLIP-170 and p150^glued, thereby recruiting these +TIPs to microtubules. Structural analysis suggests that serine-40 is the primary phosphorylation site on EB1 that exerts these effects. Together, these findings provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms that regulate the interactions of EB1 with other +TIPs.
