    Effect of α-tubulin acetylation on the doublet microtubule structure

    Shun Kai Yang, Shintaroh Kubo ... Khanh Huy Bui
    Cryo-EM studies of doublet microtubules from wild-type and acetylation mutants suggest that acetylation of K40 affects the lateral rotational angle between protofilaments, leading to changes in the structure and stability.

    Lack of CCDC146, a ubiquitous centriole and microtubule-associated protein, leads to non-syndromic male infertility in human and mouse

    Jana Muroňová, Zine Eddine Kherraf ... Christophe Arnoult
    CCDC146 is a structural component of the flagellum in sperm, located in the doublet microtubules of the axoneme, whose absence leads to multiple morphological anomalies of the flagellum.
