Centrioles have proximal-distal polarity and a 9-fold radial symmetry imparted by a likewise symmetrical central scaffold, the cartwheel. The spindle assembly abnormal protein 6 (SAS-6) self-assembles into 9-fold radially symmetric ring-shaped oligomers that stack via an unknown mechanism to form the cartwheel. Here, we uncover a homo-oligomerization interaction mediated by the coiled-coil domain of SAS-6. Crystallographic structures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii SAS-6 coiled-coil complexes suggest this interaction is asymmetric, thereby imparting polarity to the cartwheel. Using a cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstitution assay, we demonstrate that amino acid substitutions disrupting this asymmetric association also impair SAS-6 ring stacking. Our work raises the possibility that the asymmetric interaction inherent to SAS-6 coiled-coil provides a polar element for cartwheel assembly, which may assist the establishment of the centriolar proximal-distal axis. Structures of SAS-6 coiled coil hold implications for the polarity of the centriolar cartwheel.,Kantsadi AL, Hatzopoulos GN, Gonczy P, Vakonakis I Structure. 2022 Feb 22. pii: S0969-2126(22)00041-7. doi:, 10.1016/j.str.2022.02.005.
