News Context: That's why no one else has seen it before." Their team showed that the same phenomenon was seen in a test tube where g-TuRC generated microtubules together with XMAP215. This was chiefly the contribution of Rachel Kadzik, a postdoctoral researcher in Petry's lab and a co-first-author on the paper who purified the g-TuRC and, with Thawani, purified the XMAP215.
Paper Context: 3a,b, Supplementary  Fig. de novo MT nucleation in Xenopus extracts as before (Fig. 2a) , we further verified that XMAP215 promoted negligible de novo nucleation without γ -TuRC ( Supplementary Fig.
