Abstract
The Arabidopsis CC1 protein maintains microtubule array stability and cellulose synthesis during salt stress. Here the authors show that CC1 engages microtubules via an intrinsically disordered N-terminus that suggests it controls microtubule dynamics in a similar way to the mammalian Tau protein.
