The centriole is an organelle composed of rings of SAS-6 proteins that form a cartwheel structure. Here the authors develop a cell-free system to examine core cartwheel assembly ofC. reinhardtiiproteins and discover that CrSAS-6 has autonomous properties that facilitates self-organized stacking of pairs of rings.
