Fig. 1.
Distinct filament structure with the same assembly interfaces. Tubulin (brighter colors) and TubZ (lighter colors) share a conserved interface along the filament that sandwiches the nucleotide (shown in green). The twist in the TubZ filament (filament on the right) originates from a rotation of the two domains within one subunit (compare relative orientation of the magenta and blue domains for bright and light subunits).
