As the primary microtubule nucleator in animal cells, γ-tubulin ring complex (γTuRC) plays a crucial role organization, but little is known about how activity of γTuRC regulated. Recently, isolated was found to contain NME7, poorly characterized member NME family. Here we report that NME7 component regulates microtubule-nucleating γTuRC. contains two putative kinase domains, A and B, shows autophosphorylating activity. Whereas domain involved autophosphorylation, B inactive. interacts with...

Abstract Studies investigating the relationship between exposure to air pollutants during pregnancy and foetal growth restriction (FGR) in women who conceive by vitro fertilisation (IVF) are lacking. The objective was investigate effect of pollutant on FGR pregnant IVF. We included conceived IVF delivered healthy singleton babies Guangzhou from October 2018 September 2023. also collected data concentrations same period. analysed impact pollution FGR. After adjusting for confounders, our...

γ-Tubulin ring complexes (γTuRCs) initiate microtubule growth and mediate attachment at microtubule-organizing centers, such as centrosomes the Golgi complex. However, mechanisms that control γTuRC-mediated nucleation have remained mostly unknown. Here, we show DNA polymerase δ catalytic subunit (PolD1) binds directly to γTuRCs potently inhibits nucleation. Whereas PolD1 depletion through RNA interference does not influence centrosome-based growth, augments Conversely, overexpression...
