Uncoordinated protein 45A (UNC-45A) is the only known ATP-independent microtubule (MT)-severing protein. Thus, it severs MTs via a novel mechanism. In vitro and in cells, UNC-45A–mediated MT severing is preceded by the appearance of MT bends. While MTs are stiff biological polymers, in cells, they often curve, and the result of this curving can be breaking off. The contribution of MT-severing proteins on MT lattice curvature is largely undefined. Here, we show that UNC-45A curves MTs. Using in vitro biophysical reconstitution and total internal fluorescence microscopy analysis, we show that UNC-45A is enriched in the areas where MTs are curved versus the areas where MTs are straight. In cells, we show that UNC-45A overexpression increases MT curvature and its depletion has the opposite effect. We also show that this effect occurs is independent of actomyosin contractility. Lastly, we show for the first time that in cells, Paclitaxel straightens MTs, and that UNC-45A can counteracts the MT-straightening effects of the drug.
