A motility function for the paraflagellar rod of Leishmania parasites revealed by PFR-2 gene knockouts.

Abstract excerpt

We demonstrate a functional role for the paraflagellar rod (PFR) in motility of Leishmania mexicana. The PFR is a complex cytoskeletal structure running parallel to the axoneme in the flagella of kinetoplastid protozoa. The PFR is composed of a latticework of protein filaments whose major constit...
