Abstract excerpt
Cilia and eukaryotic flagella are microtubule-based organelles that are crucial for cell motility and signaling. SAXO proteins (denoted for 'stabilizers of axonemal microtubules') are found exclusively in flagellated or ciliated organisms, but their physiological functions remain unclear. We investigated four SAXO proteins (SAXO1-SAXO4) in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, identified via bioinformatics. All localize to...
