Do tAC-1 and ZYG-9 form a complex that promotes microtubule assembly in C. elegans embryos?
Our findings identify TAC-1 as a core structural and functional member of the evolutionarily conserved TACC family of proteins and suggest that mutual stabilization between TACC and XMAP215 proteins is a key feature ensuring microtubule assembly in vivo.
The right TZ is consistently larger and more often identified than the left.
