New preprint from the lab 🎉: γ-tubulin is a novel target of the tubulin autoregulation pathway! Previously thought to exclusively target α- and β-tubulin mRNAs, we show that the TTC5–SCAPER–CNOT11 axis also degrades γ-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 αβ-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 αβ-tubulin subunits for cellular structure and transport. Here, authors reveal how tubulin cofactors form a cage-like, GTP-dependent complex that catalyzes α...
