Structural basis of membrane recognition of Toxoplasma gondii vacuole by Irgb6

Y. S. Hamano, A. A. Sherif, A. Pradipta, M. Sasai, N. Sakai, Y. Sakihama, M. Yamamoto, D. M. Standley, R. Nitta

This study determines the crystal structures of Irgb6 in GTP-bound and nucleotide-free forms, revealing a unique PVM binding interface that explains its membrane recognition mechanism.

CAMSAP2 organizes a γ-tubulin-independent microtubule nucleation centre

T. Imasaki, S. Kikkawa, S. Niwa, Y. Saijo-Hamano, H. Shigematsu, K. Aoyama, K. Mitsuoka, M. Aoki, A. Sakamot, Y. Tomabechi, N. Sakai, M. Shirouz, S. Taguchi, Y. Yamagish, T. Setsu, , R. Nitta

The paper shows CAMSAP2 nucleates microtubules from soluble β-tubulin without γ-tubulin, reducing the nucleation barrier and forming aster-like structures.
