Functional role of epsilon-tubulin in the assembly of the centriolar microtubule scaffold.

Abstract excerpt

Centrioles and basal bodies fascinate by their spectacular architecture, featuring an arrangement of nine microtubule triplets into an axial symmetry, whose biogenesis relies on yet elusive mechanisms. However, the recent discovery of new tubulins, such as delta-, epsilon-, or eta-tubulin, could constitute a breakthrough for deciphering the assembly steps of this unconventional microtubule scaffold. Here, we...
