We cut k-fibers by laser ablation to probe mechanical connections of microtubules within the bundle. We find that kinesin-12 Kif15 cross-links mediate k-fiber bundling. K-fiber bundling forces are in active competition with forces that cluster microtubule minus-ends. }, number={22}, journal={MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL}, publisher={American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB)}, author={Begley, Marcus A. and Solon, April L. and Davis, Elizabeth Mae and Sherrill, Michael Grant and Ohi, Ryoma and Eltinga, Mary Williard}, editor={Walczak, ClaireEditor}, year={2021}, month={Dec} }
