Novel mode of hyper-oscillation in the paralyzed axoneme of a Chlamydomonas mutant lacking the central-pair microtubules.

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton - 1 Jan 1995

Yagi T, Kamiya R

Abstract excerpt

The flagellar axoneme of the mutant pf18 lacking the central pair does not beat, but undergoes a nanometer-scale, high-frequency oscillation (hyper-oscillation) in the presence of ATP [Yagi et al., 1994: Cell Motil. Cytoskeleton 29:177-185]. The present study demonstrates that the amplitude of th...
