CAMSAP2 condensates drive a γ-TuRC-independent pathway for non-centrosomal microtubule nucleation

Ayhan Yurtsever, Tsuyoshi Imasaki, Ryota Kitano…·Ryo Nitta

This study identifies CAMSAP2 condensates as a γ-TuRC-independent mechanism for non-centrosomal microtubule nucleation through phase separation and tubulin organization.

Human spastin functions as an ATPase-independent microtubule nucleator via ring-stack formation

Hanjin Liu, Nao Matsumoto, Toshiyuki Kaneshiro…·Ryo Nitta

This study shows human spastin functions as an ATPase-independent microtubule nucleator by forming ring-stack structures, redefining its role in microtubule dynamics and HSP pathology.

Heterogeneous local structures of the microtubule lattice revealed by cryo-ET and non-averaging analysis

Hanjin Liu, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, Masahide Kikkawa, Tomohiro Shima

The paper uses cryo-ET and non-averaging analysis to reveal heterogeneous local structures of microtubules, showing polymerizing and depolymerizing ends share similar lattice spacing but differ in twisting.
