A Synthetic Minimal Beating Axoneme

Small, 2022
AbstractCilia and flagella are beating rod‐like organelles that enable the directional movement of microorganisms in fluids and fluid transport along the surface of biological organisms or inside organs. The molecular motor axonemal dynein drives their beating by interacting with microtubules. Constructing synthetic beating systems with axonemal dynein

CRISPs Function to Boost Sperm Power Output and Motility

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Fertilization requires sperm to travel long distances through the complex environment of the female reproductive tract. Despite the strong association between poor motility and infertility, the kinetics of sperm tail movement and the role individual ...

Primary Cilia and Atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
In artery tree, endothelial function correlates with the distribution of shear stress, a dragging force generated by flowing blood. In laminar shear stress areas, endothelial cells (ECs) are available to prevent atherosclerosis, however, ECs in disturbed

Heat shock induces rapid resorption of primary cilia [PDF]

, 2012
Primary cilia are involved in important developmental and disease pathways, such as the regulation of neurogenesis and tumorigenesis. They function as sensory antennae and are essential in the regulation of key extracellular signalling systems.

N-Terminal Processing and Modification of Ciliary Dyneins

Cells, 2023
Axonemal dyneins are highly complex microtubule motors that power ciliary motility. These multi-subunit enzymes are assembled at dedicated sites within the cytoplasm.

Length-dependent disassembly maintains four different flagellar lengths in Giardia. [PDF]

, 2019
With eight flagella of four different lengths, the parasitic protist Giardia is an ideal model to evaluate flagellar assembly and length regulation. To determine how four different flagellar lengths are maintained, we used live-cell quantitative imaging ...

Role of the microtubules in the electrical activity of the primary cilium of renal epithelial cells

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
The primary cilium is a non-motile sensory organelle that transduces environmental cues into cellular responses. It comprises an axoneme, a core of nine doublet microtubules (MTs) coated by a specialized membrane populated by receptors, and a high ...

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 ...
