6s8m is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Cbs 356. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[CUT7_SCHPO] Could be a spindle pole body motor. On transition from G2 to M phase of the cell cycle, the spindle pole body duplicates; the daughter pole bodies seed microtubules which interdigitate to form a short spindle that elongates to span the nucleus at metaphase. Mutations at cut7 block spindle formation. [TBA1_SCHPO] Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. [TBB_SCHPO] Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.
