Out just now at @NatureComms and a great start into the New Year: we reveal how yeast cytoplasmic γ-TuRC is assembled and activated by dimeric CM1 motifs of the receptor protein Spc72 and how the microtubule polymerase Stu2 binds to promote MT assembly.

Out just now @embojournal: our cryo-EM structure of the native RanGTP-induced γ-TuRC-capped microtubule, revealing a surprisingly asymmetric minus end architecture with direct implications for microtubule regulation and modulation during spindle assembly.
