The Chlamydomonas mutant ida5 is deficient in the conventional actin gene and its axoneme lacks a subset of inner dynein arms that contain actin as a subunit. However, this mutant retains some other inner dynein arms because a novel protein (NAP) is expressed as a substitute for actin. In this st...
