Structure and dynamics of Odinarchaeota tubulin and the implications for eukaryotic microtubule evolution

C. Akil, S. Ali, L. T. Tran, J. Gaillard, W. Li, K. Hayashida, M. Hirose, T. Kato, A. Oshima, K. Fujishima, L. Blanchoin, A. Narita, R. C. Robinson

This study presents the structure of Odinarchaeota tubulin and shows it forms tubules similar to FtsZ, suggesting it is an evolutionary intermediate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic microtubule-forming proteins.
