The EB1 Protein Has Several Functions

Question

The EB1 protein has several functions.Which of the following is/are true regarding EB1?
A)It promotes microtubule growth by enhancing polymerization at the (+)end.
B)Other microtubule plus-end tracking proteins use EB1 to "hitchhike" onto the growing microtubule.
C)It can bind further back from the blunt end of microtubules.
D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

EB1 has multiple functions, including promoting microtubule growth by enhancing polymerization at the (+)end, serving as a binding platform for other plus-end tracking proteins to "hitchhike" onto the growing microtubule, and binding further back from the blunt end of microtubules. Therefore, all of the statements given in A, B, and C are true about EB1.
