[eng] The microtubule nucleator γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC) is essential for the function of microtubule organizing centers such as the centrosome. Since its discovery over two decades ago, γTuRC has evaded in vitro reconstitution and thus detailed structure-function studies. In my doctoral thesis, I reveal a previously unknown role of the RUVBL1- RUVBL2 AAA-ATPase complex (RUVBL) in mediating assembly of γTuRC. Specifically, human tissue culture cells that lack RUVBL display altered γTuRC subunit composition and localization to the centrosome. In a heterologous co-expression system, RUVBL is sufficient to assemble γTuRC from a minimal set of core subunits. Importantly, RUVBL interacts with γTuRC subcomplexes but is not part of fully ass...
