Coupling form and function: how the oligomerisation symmetry of the SAS-6 protein contributes to the architecture of centriole organelles

<p>Centrioles make up the centrosome and basal bodies in animals and as such play important roles in cell division, signalling and motility. They possess characteristic 9-fold radial symmetry strongly influenced by the protein SAS-6. SAS-6 is essential for canonical centriole assembly as it fo...
