== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Microtubules are composed of alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin dimers positioned head-to-tail to form protofilaments that associate laterally in varying numbers. It is not known how cellular microtubules assemble with the canonical 13-protofilament architecture, resulting in micrometer-scale alpha/beta-tubulin tracks for intracellular transport that align with, rather than spiral along, the long axis of the filament. We report that the human ~2.3 MDa gamma-tubulin ring complex (gamma-TuRC), an essential regulator of microtubule formation that contains 14 gamma-tubulins, selectively nucleates 13-protofilament microtubules. Cryogenic electron microscopy reconstructions of gamma-TuRC-capped microtubule minus ends reveal the extensive intra-domain and inter-domain motions of gamma-TuRC subunits that accommodate luminal bridge components and establish lateral and longitudinal interactions between gamma-tubulins and alpha-tubulins. Our structures suggest that gamma-TuRC, an inefficient nucleation template owing to its splayed conformation, can transform into a compacted cap at the microtubule minus end and set the lattice architecture of cellular microtubules. | |||
