Structural Basis of Tubulin Recruitment and Assembly by Tumor Overexpressed Gene (TOG) domain array Microtubule Polymerases

S. Nithiananatham, B. Cook, F. Chang, J. Al-Bassam

The paper elucidates the structural mechanism by which TOG domain arrays in Alp14 recruit and polymerize tubulins through square-shaped assemblies that unfurl to facilitate polymerization.

Structural Basis for Katanin Self-Assembly

S. Nithiananatham, F. McNally, J. Al-Bassam

This study reveals the structural basis for katanin self-assembly, showing how ATP binding and conformational changes regulate its oligomerization and microtubule-severing activity.
