Oligodendrocytes have elaborate arbors of microtubules that extend toward axons and spiral around myelin sheaths. Oligodendrocytes rely on satellite organelles called Golgi outposts to nucleate new microtubules at sites far from the cell body. We now show that the Golgi outpost marker TPPP (tubulin polymerization promoting protein) forms liquid condensates that co-partition with tubulin in order to nucleate microtubules. In oligodendrocytes, TPPP forms either dynamic puncta or aberrant microtubule-associated aggregates. In Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a sequela of histological events initiates with TPPP aggregation in myelin sheaths and terminates in perinuclear TPPP co-aggregation with alpha-synuclein (aSyn). Finally, recombinant TPPP aggregates are toxic to primary oligodendrocytes. Thus, while the liquid condensate property of TPPP facilitates microtubule nucleation, it also predisposes TPPP to aggregate in disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
