SPACA9 - a promiscuous MIP?

Our latest work on human ciliary microtubules has been published in PNAS. We determined cryoEM structures of human respiratory doublet microtubules isolated from 2D organoids, and the singlet microtubules of the sperm endpiece revealing the presence of SPACA9 in both. This was a wonderful international collaboration with Tom Burgoyne (UCL, England) and Johanna Höög (University of Gothenburg, Sweden).
