The axoneme is the basic functional unit of the eucaryotic flagellum. Periodic structures appended to its 9+2 microtubule core are responsible for generation of flagellar bending. An account of biochemical and genetic studies of flagellar-defective mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is presented. These studies provide insights into the complex molecular composition of the appended structures, their mode of assembly, and the way in which they interact to modulate flagellar function.
轴丝是真核生物鞭毛的基本功能单位。附着在其9+2微管核心上的周期性结构负责鞭毛弯曲的产生。本文介绍了莱茵衣藻鞭毛缺陷突变体的生化和遗传学研究。这些研究为附属结构的复杂分子组成、它们的组装方式以及它们相互作用以调节鞭毛功能的方式提供了见解。
