In eukaryotic cells, a subset of microtubules undergoes acetylation, resulting in stabilization: here, clathrin-coated pits are shown to control microtubule acetylation through a direct interaction between the α-tubulin acetyltransferase αTAT1 and the clathrin adaptor AP2, promoting directional cell migration.
