The short (∼20 amino acid) C-terminal tails of both α- and β-tubulin that protrude from the microtubule are enriched in glutamic and aspartic acids, the surface of the microtubule possesses a net negative charge.

Augmin

an 8-subunit protein complex that binds to sites along the microtubule and recruits γ-TuRC, which nucleates a new microtubule to form a microtubule branch.
