Abstract excerpt
The ida5 mutant of Chlamydomonas, first isolated as a mutant lacking a subset of axonemal inner-arm dyneins, has recently been shown to lack conventional actin owing to a serious mutation in its gene. It lacks inner-arm dyneins probably because actin is an essential subunit for their assembly. In addition, male gametes of ida5 are unable to produce the fertilization tubule, a structure that contains a core of...
