Spatially Confined Phase Separation Promotes Local Tubulin Availability to Stabilize Ciliary Microtubule Growth

How microtubule (MT) growth is locally sustained within cilia remains a central unanswered question in ciliogenesis. Here we identify RAT-1 as a regulator of ciliary tubulin homeostasis and MT growth. Genetic screens in Caenorhabditis elegans show that loss of RAT-1 suppresses the toxic effects of a mutant α-tubulin an...

Integrating structural and biological evidence to rerank ESMFold2 protein-protein interactions

Large-scale protein structure prediction enables proteome-wide protein–protein interaction (PPI) screening, but distinguishing biologically meaningful interactions from spurious interfaces remains challenging. Here, we develop a scalable framework combining fast, MSA-free ESMFold2 prediction with PAE-guided domain pars...

FAP53 facilitates formation of microtubule doublets.

The formation of microtubule doublets (MTDs) is a foundational step in cilia biogenesis, yet how B-tubule nucleation is initiated at the molecular level remains elusive. Here, we identify FAP53 as a factor that facilitates B-tubule assembly in a scaffold-dependent manner. In vitro reconstitution demonstrated that recom...
