This finding is similar to that of a recent study in human colon cancer cells showing that γ-tubulin depletion did not prevent microtubule nucleation from centrosomes and that this γ-TuRC-independent microtubule nucleation pathway depended on the Msps homolog ch-TOG (Tsuchiya and Goshima, 2021). The gene discussed is CKAP5; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
