Structure of the ciliary tip central pair reveals the unique role of the microtubule-seam binding protein SPEF1
Legal et al. resolve the ciliary tip central pair structure, revealing novel proteins that stabilize its unique form. They show how the protein SPEF1 binds the microtubule seam and stabilizes the tip ...
