Figure 2. — Ultrastructure of the augmin-dependent end-links that connect two adjacent MTs. Two types of connection between an MT closed (minus) end and the lattice of an adjacent MT. (A) Selected tomographic slices (1.4 nm/slice; three out of seven serial slices) of two end-lattice connections, at which rod-shaped end-links were detected (arrows). Note that the links are most clearly visible in the fourth plane, which includes the daughter MT end. Manual tracings of the mother MT wall (green; a part of the wall lying in this slice was marked) and the capped daughter MT ends (magenta) are displayed on the right. See Videos 1, 2, and 3 for more serially sliced or rotated images. (B) Two examples of the direct end-link. See Fig. S3 for more images. Bars, 30 nm.
