Multi-curve fitting and tubulin-lattice signal removal for structure determination of large microtubule-based motors

P. Chai, Q. Rao, K. Zhang

The paper develops a method to determine high-resolution structures of large microtubule-based motors by removing tubulin-lattice signals from cryo-EM data without requiring microtubule reconstruction.

Structures of outer-arm dynein array on microtubule doublet reveal a motor coordination mechanism

Q. Rao, Y. Wang, P. Chai, L. Han, Y.-W. Kuo, R. Yang, F. Hu, Y. Yang, J. Howard, K. Zhang

The paper determines high-resolution structures of outer-arm dynein arrays bound to microtubule doublets, revealing a mechanism for motor coordination through ATP hydrolysis and tail-to-head interactions.
