Basalin: an evolutionary unconstrained protein revealed via a conserved role in basal plate function

2018-08-25

Abstract excerpt

Most motile flagella have an axoneme that contains nine outer microtubule doublets and a central pair (CP) of microtubules. The CP is thought to coordinate the flagellar beat and defects in CP projections are associated with loss of motility and human disease. In most cilia, the CP nucleate near a ‘basal plate’ at the distal end of the transition zone (TZ). Here, we show that the trypanosome TZ protein ‘basalin’ i...
