The solution structure of the N-terminal domain of human tubulin binding cofactor C reveals a platform for tubulin interaction.

Human Tubulin Binding Cofactor C (TBCC) is a post-chaperonin involved in the folding and assembly of α- and β-tubulin monomers leading to the release of productive tubulin heterodimers ready to polymerize into microtubules. In this process it collaborates with other cofactors (TBC's A, B, D, an...
