Light chain 2 is a Tctex-type related axonemal dynein light chain that regulates directional ciliary motility in <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>

2021-09-30

Abstract excerpt

Flagellar motility is essential for the cell morphology, viability, and virulence of pathogenic kinetoplastids, including trypanosomes. Trypanosoma brucei flagella exhibit a bending wave that propagates from the flagellum’s tip to its base, rather than base-to-tip as in other eukaryotes. Thousands of dynein motor proteins coordinate their activity to drive ciliary bending wave propagation. Dynein- associated ligh...
