IFT and BBSome proteins are required for Leishmania mexicana pathogenicity, but flagellar motility is dispensable

2024-09-13

Abstract excerpt

Protists of the order Kinetoplastida possess a single multifunctional flagellum, which powers cellular displacement and mediates attachment to tissues of the arthropod vector. The kinetoplastid flagellar cytoskeleton consists of a nine-microtubule doublet axoneme; further structural elaborations, which can vary between species and life cycle stages, include the assembly of axonemal dynein complexes, a pair of sing...
