PLoS Genetics, 2021 Ciliary beating requires the coordinated activity of numerous axonemal complexes. The protein composition and role of radial spokes (RS), nexin links (N-DRC) and dyneins (ODAs and IDAs) is well established.

PLoS Genetics, 2020 Motile cilia can beat with distinct patterns, but how motility variations are regulated remain obscure. Here, we have studied the role of the coiled-coil protein CFAP53 in the motility of different cilia-types in the mouse.

eLife, 2018 Construction of motile cilia/flagella requires cytoplasmic preassembly of axonemal dyneins before transport into cilia. Axonemal dyneins have various subtypes, but the roles of each dynein subtype and their assembly processes remain elusive in ...

Space-dependent formation of central pair microtubules and their interactions with radial spokes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cilia and flagella contain nine outer doublet microtubules and a pair of central microtubules. The central pair of microtubules (CP) is important for cilia/flagella beating, as clearly shown by primary ciliary dyskinesia resulting from the loss of the CP.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016 Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer rows of arms associated with the doublet microtubules of motile cilia. These enzymes convert the chemical energy released from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis into mechanical work by causing the doublets to slide with respect to each other.

The Versatile Molecular Complex Component LC8 Promotes Several Distinct Steps of Flagellar Assembly [PDF]
, 2012 LC8 is present in various molecular complexes. However, its role in these complexes remains unclear. We discovered that although LC8 is a subunit of the radial spoke (RS) complex in Chlamydomonas flagella, it was undetectable in the RS precursor that is ...

A brief introduction to the model microswimmer {\it Chlamydomonas reinhardtii} [PDF]
, 2016 The unicellular biflagellate green alga {\it Chlamydomonas reinhardtii} has been an important model system in biology for decades, and in recent years it has started to attract growing attention also within the biophysics community.

Cryo-EM of dynein microtubule-binding domains shows how an axonemal dynein distorts the microtubule
eLife, 2019 Dyneins are motor proteins responsible for transport in the cytoplasm and the beating of axonemes in cilia and flagella. They bind and release microtubules via a compact microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) at the end of a coiled-coil stalk.

The IDA3 adapter, required for intraflagellar transport of I1 dynein, is regulated by ciliary length [PDF]
, 2018 Axonemal dyneins, including inner dynein arm I1, assemble in the cytoplasm prior to transport into cilia by intraflagellar transport (IFT). How I1 dynein interacts with IFT is not understood.

Parasite motility is critical for virulence of African trypanosomes. [PDF]
, 2018 African trypanosomes, Trypanosoma brucei spp., are lethal pathogens that cause substantial human suffering and limit economic development in some of the world's most impoverished regions.
