Multifaceted modes of γ-tubulin complex recruitment and microtubule nucleation at mitotic centrosomes

The paper investigates γ-tubulin complex recruitment mechanisms at mitotic centrosomes in Drosophila, showing that Spd-2 and Cnn use different pathways to nucleate microtubules, with implications for centrosome robustness and microtubule dynamics.

Auto-inhibition of Cnn binding to γ-TuRCs prevents ectopic microtubule nucleation and cell division defects

The paper identifies an auto-inhibition domain in Cnn that regulates binding to γ-TuRCs, preventing ectopic microtubule nucleation and cell division defects.
