| Function |
Binds to the plus end of microtubules and regulates the dynamics of the microtubule cytoskeleton. May be involved in anchoring microtubules to their nucleation sites and/or functioning as a reservoir for distribution to the growing end. In plants, microtubule minus ends are not necessarily severed from the nucleation site and transported to the plus end of a microtubule as part of the recycling process. May play a role in endomembrane organization during polarized growth of plant cells. Interacts with the tobamovirus movement protein (MP) and may play a role in the association of MP with the microtubule system during infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14557818, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20067996}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, phragmoplast. Note=Localizes both to the plus ends of microtubules and to the sites of nucleation during division and interphase.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in guard cells of leaf stomata, pollen grains and pollen tubes. Expressed in young roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20067996}.
