The contribution of microtubule tip dynamics to the assembly and function of plant microtubule arrays remains poorly understood. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis SPIRAL2 (SPR2) protein modulates the dynamics of the acentrosomal cortical microtubule plus- and minus-ends in an opposing manner. Live imaging of a functional SPR2-mRuby fusion protein revealed that SPR2 shows both microtubule plus- and minus-end tracking activity in addition to localization at microtubule intersections and along the lattice. Analysis of microtubule dynamics showed that cortical microtubule plus-ends rarely undergo catastrophe in the spr2-2 knockout mutant compared to wild-type. In contrast, cortical microtubule minus-ends in spr2-2 depolymerized at a much faster rate than in wild-type. Destabilization of the minus-ends in spr2-2 caused a significant decrease in the lifetime of microtubule crossovers, which dramatically reduced the microtubule severing frequency and inhibited light-induced microtubule array reorientation. Using in vitro reconstitution experiments combined with single-molecule imaging, we found that recombinant SPR2-GFP intrinsically localizes to microtubule minus-ends where it binds stably and inhibits their dynamics. Together, our data establish SPR2 as a new type of microtubule tip regulator that governs the length and lifetime of microtubules.
