In this issue of Structure, Bangera et al. investigate the role of the inner junction protein FAP20 in doublet microtubule assembly. Using cryo-EM and microtubule dynamic assays, they demonstrate that FAP20 recruits free tubulins to existing microtubule lattices, shedding light on B-tubule closure during doublet microtubule formation.
