ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Inside sperm flagella, there are nine doublet microtubules composed of A and B tubules. In this issue of Cell, Leung et al. and Zhou et al. present high-resolution cryo-EM structures of doublet microtubules from mammalian sperms and show unprecedented structures of the A tubules, which are almost entirely occupied with tektin bundles.
