Abstract
In the cell, microtubules are nucleated by the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC). In this issue, Muñoz-Hernández, Xu, and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202410206) combine cryo-EM and AlphaFold modeling to detail how the NEDD1 protein recruits the γ-TuRC to microtubule-organizing centers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
