Abstract: An evolutionarily conserved protein sequence present in diverse species like yeast, frogs, chickens, and humans binds a well-known template for microtubule nucleation, the gamma-tubulin ring complex, activating and enhancing its ability to nucleate microtubules, even under low tubulin concentrations.
