CLIP-170 belongs to a group of proteins (+TIPs) with the enigmatic ability to dynamically track growing microtubule plus-ends. CLIP-170 regulates microtubule dynamics in vivo and has been implicated in cargo-microtubule interactions in vivo and in vitro. Though plus-end tracking likely has intimate connections to +TIP function, little is known about the mechanism(s) by which this dynamic localization is achieved. Using a combination of biochemistry and live cell imaging, we provide evidence that CLIP-170 tracks microtubule plus-ends by a preassociation, copolymerization, and regulated release mechanism. As part of this analysis, we find that CLIP-170 has a stronger affinity for tubulin dimer than for polymer, and that CLIP-170 can distinguish between GTP- and GDP-like polymer. This work extends the previous analysis of CLIP-170 behavior in vivo and complements the existing fluorescence microscope characterization of CLIP-170 interactions with microtubules in vitro. In particular, these data explain observations that CLIP-170 localizes to newly polymerized microtubules in vitro but cannot track microtubule plus-ends in vitro. These observations have implications for the functions of CLIP-170 in regulating microtubule dynamics.
