a, b, Comparison of the NEC curvature in perinuclear vesicles and tubes. b, Shown are sections through the average volumes of four tubes, with the respective diameters indicated in cyan. The NEC tubes have substantially smaller luminal cavities compared to spherical NEC vesicles. Notably, the two separate tubes with matching diameters and helical parameters were located within the same nucleoplasmic reticulum and may have originated from the same assembly. c, Tubular NEC forms tubes with different helical parameters, indicating a flexibility in the direction of largest curvature. Highlighted is the angle of the 6-2-6 axis to the helical symmetry axis. Scale bars indicate 50 nm.
