Variable microtubule architecture in the malaria parasite
Microtubules are a ubiquitous eukaryotic cytoskeletal element typically consisting of 13 protofilaments arranged in a hollow cylinder. Using CryoEM and subvolume averaging, Ferreira and Pražák et al. show that Plasmodium does not adhere to a single microtubule structure. Instead, the cytoskeleton ch...
