Throughout spermiogenesis, the manchette retains structural integrity for several days, raising the question of how its MTs are regulated. Here, using cryo-electron tomography of manchettes isolated from rat testes, we find that manchette MT ends are structurally diverse. We show that the MT-binding protein CLASP2 is present throughout the manchette and likely regulates both MT ends. Using cryo-electron microscopy single particle analysis and super-resolution microscopy, we reveal that SPACA9 and MNMIP1 (SH3D21) bind to the seam of manchette MTs from the luminal side. SPACA9 binds to both α- and β-tubulin of protofilament 1 but does not interact directly with protofilament 13, while MNMIP1 binds directly to protofilament 13. MNMIP1 further extends and threads through the MT lattice at the seam. Our study reveals a novel seam MT inner protein complex with a unique binding mode, providing a plausible explanation for MT regulation that maintains manchette integrity over an extended period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
