Citation | Journal: Cell / Year: 2019Title: Structure of the Decorated Ciliary Doublet Microtubule. Authors: Meisheng Ma / Mihaela Stoyanova / Griffin Rademacher / Susan K Dutcher / Alan Brown / Rui Zhang / ![]() Abstract: The axoneme of motile cilia is the largest macromolecular machine of eukaryotic cells. In humans, impaired axoneme function causes a range of ciliopathies. Axoneme assembly, structure, and motility ...The axoneme of motile cilia is the largest macromolecular machine of eukaryotic cells. In humans, impaired axoneme function causes a range of ciliopathies. Axoneme assembly, structure, and motility require a radially arranged set of doublet microtubules, each decorated in repeating patterns with non-tubulin components. We use single-particle cryo-electron microscopy to visualize and build an atomic model of the repeating structure of a native axonemal doublet microtubule, which reveals the identities, positions, repeat lengths, and interactions of 38 associated proteins, including 33 microtubule inner proteins (MIPs). The structure demonstrates how these proteins establish the unique architecture of doublet microtubules, maintain coherent periodicities along the axoneme, and stabilize the microtubules against the repeated mechanical stress induced by ciliary motility. Our work elucidates the architectural principles that underpin the assembly of this large, repetitive eukaryotic structure and provides a molecular basis for understanding the etiology of human ciliopathies. | ||||||

They are not sure which N-terminus belongs to which protein. The N-terminus that has been assigned to chain 6U could, therefore, belong to another molecule or even to one not in their reconstruction. |
