The Caenorhabditis elegans protein SAS-5 forms large oligomeric assemblies critical for centriole formation.

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles crucial for cell division, sensing and motility. In C. elegans, the onset of centriole formation requires notably the proteins SAS-5 and SAS-6, which have functional homologs across eukaryotic evolution. Whereas the molecular architecture of SAS-6 and its...
