Abstract excerpt
Microtubule polymerization is initiated from the microtubule organizing centre (MTOC), which contains the gamma-tubulin complex. We have identified fission yeast Alp4 and Alp6, which are homologues of the gamma-tubulin-interacting proteins Sc.Spc97/Hs.Gcp2 and Sc. Spc98/Hs.Gcp3, respectively. The size of the fission yeast gamma-tubulin complex is large (>2000 kDa), comparable to that in metazoans. Both Alp4 and...
