Abstract

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and microtubule (MT) interactions have been observed in different cell types. However, how these interactions are regulated remains unknown. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Nourbakhsh et al. show that an ER-localized kinase, TAOK2, catalyzes the dynamic tethering of the ER tip to the MT tip.
