Sub-centrosomal mapping identifies augmin-γTuRC as part of a centriole-stabilizing scaffold

Abstract

The γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC) nucleates microtubules at the centrosome, but how this function is related to γTuRC subcentrosomal distribution is unclear. Here the authors show that γTuRC in the centriole lumen has a nucleation-independent role in centriole integrity and cilium assembly.
