Basal body rootlets in Polytomella function as organizing centers for cytoplasmic microtbules in vivo. A method is described to isolate intact basal body-rootlet complexes. The integrity of the isolated complexes is confirmed by electron microscopy, and the rootlets are shown to be competent as initiation sites for the in vitro polymerization of brain microtubule protein.
多鞭毛虫属中的基体根纤丝在体内作为细胞质微管的组织中心发挥作用。本文描述了一种分离完整基体 - 根纤丝复合体的方法。通过电子显微镜确认了分离复合体的完整性，并且显示根纤丝能够作为脑微管蛋白体外聚合反应的起始位点。
