New preprint from the lab πŸŽ‰: Ξ³-tubulin is a novel target of the tubulin autoregulation pathway! Previously thought to exclusively target Ξ±- and Ξ²-tubulin mRNAs, we show that the TTC5–SCAPER–CNOT11 axis also degrades Ξ³-tubulin mRNA, expanding the scope of this fundamental regulatory mechanism.

The Structural Basis of alpha/beta-tubulin Assembly and Disassembly by Tubulin Cofactors Microtubules polymerize from cytoplasmic pools of soluble Ξ±Ξ²-tubulin heterodimers that support diverse cellular functions. The tubulin cofactors, TBCC, TBCD, TBCE, and the Arl2 GTPase, form TBC-DEG as...

Cryo-EM structures of the tubulin cofactors reveal the molecular basis of alpha/beta-tubulin biogenesis - Nature Communications Microtubules depend on correctly assembled Ξ±Ξ²-tubulin subunits for cellular structure and transport. Here, authors reveal how tubulin cofactors form a cage-like, GTP-dependent complex that catalyzes Ξ±...

Excited to share our new preprint in collaboration with Ahmet Yildiz's lab. Check out how our team uncovers a novel binding footprint and motor regulation mechanism for MAP9 Congrats to Burak Cetin and @aryantaheri.bsky.social
