== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TBA1_YEAST TBA1_YEAST] Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Microtubule (MT) filaments, composed of alpha/beta-tubulin dimers, are fundamental to cellular architecture, function and organismal development. They are nucleated from MT organizing centers by the evolutionarily conserved gamma-tubulin ring complex (gammaTuRC). However, the molecular mechanism of nucleation remains elusive. Here we used cryo-electron tomography to determine the structure of the native gammaTuRC capping the minus end of a MT in the context of enriched budding yeast spindles. In our structure, gammaTuRC presents a ring of gamma-tubulin subunits to seed nucleation of exclusively 13-protofilament MTs, adopting an active closed conformation to function as a perfect geometric template for MT nucleation. Our cryo-electron tomography reconstruction revealed that a coiled-coil protein staples the first row of alpha/beta-tubulin of the MT to alternating positions along the gamma-tubulin ring of gammaTuRC. This positioning of alpha/beta-tubulin onto gammaTuRC suggests a role for the coiled-coil protein in augmenting gammaTuRC-mediated MT nucleation. Based on our results, we describe a molecular model for budding yeast gammaTuRC activation and MT nucleation.
