Synonyms: | membrane-microtubule complex assembly, membrane-microtubule complex formation, Y-link assembly, Y-link formation, Y-link structure assembly, Y-link structure formation, Y-shaped assemblage assembly, Y-shaped assemblage formation, Y-shaped fiber assembly, Y-shaped fiber formation, Y-shaped fibre assembly, Y-shaped fibre formation, Y-shaped link formation, Y-shaped linker assembly, Y-shaped linker formation |
Definition: | The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a Y-shaped link. Two distinct protein complexes are known to be involved in proper linker assembly: the MKS complex and the NPHP complex. Improper assembly of Y-shaped links may cause malfunctioning of the transition zone as a molecular gate. |
