abstract = {Microtubules are a ubiquitous eukaryotic cytoskeletal
element typically consisting of 13 protofilaments arranged
in a hollow cylinder. This arrangement is considered the
canonical form and is adopted by most organisms, with rare
exceptions. Here, we use in situ electron cryo-tomography
and subvolume averaging to analyse the changing microtubule
cytoskeleton of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent
of malaria, throughout its life cycle. Unexpectedly,
different parasite forms have distinct microtubule
structures coordinated by unique organising centres. In
merozoites, the most widely studied form, we observe
canonical microtubules. In migrating mosquito forms, the 13
protofilament structure is further reinforced by interrupted
luminal helices. Surprisingly, gametocytes contain a wide
distribution of microtubule structures ranging from 13 to 18
protofilaments, doublets and triplets. Such a diversity of
microtubule structures has not been observed in any other
organism to date and is likely evidence of a distinct role
in each life cycle form. This data provides a unique view
into an unusual microtubule cytoskeleton of a relevant human
pathogen.},
