The structure of the γ‐TuRC at the microtubule minus end–not just one solution

Q Gao, BJA Vermeulen, M Würtz, H Shin… - …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In cells, microtubules (MTs) assemble from α/β‐tubulin subunits at nucleation sites
containing the γ‐tubulin ring complex (γ‐TuRC). Within the γ‐TuRC, exposed γ‐tubulin …

Advances in understanding the roles of actin scaffolding and membrane trafficking in dendrite development

W Wang, M Rui - Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2024 - Elsevier
Dendritic morphology is typically highly branched, and the branching and synaptic
abundance of dendrites can enhance the receptive range of neurons and the diversity of …

γ-TuRCs and the augmin complex are required for the development of highly branched dendritic arbors in Drosophila

A Mukherjee, Y Andrés Jeske, I Becam… - Journal of Cell …, 2024 - journals.biologists.com
Microtubules are nucleated by γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs) and are essential for
neuronal development. Nevertheless, γ-TuRC depletion has been reported to perturb only …
