Summary Leong et al. reconstitute microtubule nucleation in vitro with a minimal set of purified fission yeast proteins--Mto1/2[bonsai] complex, heterotetrameric g-TuSC and Mzt1--that assemble into a ring-like "MGM" holocomplex. The small conserved protein Mzt1 is implicated in stabilization of Alp6, fission yeast ortholog of mammalian g-TuSC protein GCP3.
