The flagellum of almost every member of the Kinetoplastida contains, next to its canonical 'nine-plus-two' axoneme, structure, a unique, complex and highly organized lattice-like structure called the paraflagellar rod or paraxial rod. Here, Philippe Bastin, Keith Matthews and Keith Gull summarize the latest findings on its structure, the nature of its protein components and their corresponding genes. They also consider the possible functions of this intriguing organelle.
几乎所有动质体目成员的鞭毛,除了其典型的“9+2”轴丝结构外,还包含一种独特、复杂且高度有序的晶格状结构,称为副鞭毛杆或轴旁杆。在此,菲利普·巴斯廷、基思·马修斯和基思·古尔总结了关于其结构、蛋白质成分的性质及其相应基因的最新发现。他们还思考了这个有趣细胞器的可能功能。
