Cilia Distal Domain: Diversity in Evolutionarily Conserved Structures
Cells, 2019 Eukaryotic cilia are microtubule-based organelles that protrude from the cell surface to fulfill sensory and motility functions. Their basic structure consists of an axoneme templated by a centriole/basal body.

The Flagellar Motility of \u3cem\u3eChlamydomonas pf25\u3c/em\u3e Mutant Lacking an AKAP-binding Protein Is Overtly Sensitive to Medium Conditions [PDF]
, 2006 Radial spokes are a conserved axonemal structural complex postulated to regulate the motility of 9 + 2 cilia and flagella via a network of phosphoenzymes and regulatory proteins.

Self-organized Beating and Swimming of Internally Driven Filaments
, 1998 We study a simple two-dimensional model for motion of an elastic filament subject to internally generated stresses and show that wave-like propagating shapes which can propel the filament can be induced by a self-organized mechanism via a dynamic ...

CellsMouse sperm-associated antigen 6-like (SPAG6L) evolved from SPAG6, the mammalian ortholog of Chlamydomonas PF16, which is localized in the central apparatus of the motile cilia and is essential for ciliary motility.

Structure and behaviour of the sperm terminal filament [PDF]
, 1982 Light- and electron-microscopic observations of Ciona and Lytechinus spermatozoa show a thin terminal filament at the distal end. The terminal filament is 5-6 microns long and contains the two central microtubules and a variable number of A-tubule ...

A CEP104-CSPP1 Complex Is Required for Formation of Primary Cilia Competent in Hedgehog Signaling
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: CEP104 is an evolutionarily conserved centrosomal and ciliary tip protein. CEP104 loss-of-function mutations are reported in patients with Joubert syndrome, but their function in the etiology of ciliopathies is poorly understood.

Radial Spokes-A Snapshot of the Motility Regulation, Assembly, and Evolution of Cilia and Flagella [PDF]
, 2016 Propulsive forces generated by cilia and flagella are used in events that are critical for the thriving of diverse eukaryotic organisms in their environments. Despite distinctive strokes and regulations, the majority of them adopt the 9+2 axoneme that is

Alpha-tubulin tails regulate axoneme differentiation
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesThe tubulin tail is a key element for microtubule (MT) functionality, but the functional redundancy of tubulin genes complicates the genetic determination of their physiological functions. Here, we removed the C-terminal tail of five alpha- and four beta-tubulin genes in the C. elegans genome.

Microtubule sliding in swimming sperm flagella: direct and indirect measurements on sea urchin and tunicate spermatozoa [PDF]
, 1991 Direct measurements of microtubule sliding in the flagella of actively swimming, demembranated, spermatozoa have been made using submicron diameter gold beads as markers on the exposed outer doublet microtubules.
