TI  - Gamma-tubulin complexes and their interaction with microtubule-organizing
      centers.
PG  - 250-9
AB  - Gamma-tubulin is as ubiquitous in eukaryotes as alpha- and beta-tubulin. Rather
      than forming part of the microtubule wall, however, gamma-tubulin is involved in 
      microtubule nucleation. Although gamma-tubulin concentrates at
      microtubule-organizing centers, it also exists in a cytoplasmic complex whose
      size and complexity depends on the organism and cell type. In the past year,
      progress in understanding the functions of gamma-tubulin was made on two fronts: 
      identifying the proteins that interact with gamma-tubulin and identifying the
      proteins that interact with the gamma-tubulin complex to tether it to the
      microtubule-organizing center.
