Cryo-EM structure of cortical microtubules from human parasite Toxoplasma gondii identifies their microtubule inner proteins
Cortical microtubules (MTs) in Apicomplexa are specialized MTs involved in maintaining the parasite’s shape and are, as such, unusually stable. Here, cryo-EM analysis of cortical MTs from Toxoplasma gondii offers insight into the mechanism of their stabilization by three bona fide microtubule inner...
