A primer on the mouse basal body. [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 The basal body is a highly organized structure essential for the formation of cilia. Basal bodies dock to a cellular membrane through their distal appendages (also known as transition fibers) and provide the foundation on which the microtubules of the ...

Human basal body basics. [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 In human cells, the basal body (BB) core comprises a ninefold microtubule-triplet cylindrical structure. Distal and subdistal appendages are located at the distal end of BB, where they play indispensable roles in cilium formation and function. Most cells

Drosophila melanogaster as a model for basal body research. [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is one of the most extensively studied organisms in biological research and has centrioles/basal bodies and cilia that can be modelled to investigate their functions in animals generally.

Basal body structure in Trichonympha. [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 Trichonympha is a symbiotic flagellate of many species of termites and of the wood-feeding cockroach. Remarkably, this unicellular organism harbors up to over ten thousand flagella on its surface, which serve to propel it through the viscous environment of the host hindgut.

The basal bodies of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 The unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a biflagellated cell that can swim or glide. C. reinhardtii cells are amenable to genetic, biochemical, proteomic, and microscopic analysis of its basal bodies.

Basal paravian functional anatomy illuminated by high-detail body outline [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Soft tissues are rarely preserved in the fossil record; therefore, body shape of extinct vertebrates is usually inferred indirectly. Here, the authors use laser-stimulated fluorescence of fossils to detect and reconstruct the body outline of the paravian

Katanin localization requires triplet microtubules in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Centrioles and basal bodies are essential for a variety of cellular processes that include the recruitment of proteins to these structures for both centrosomal and ciliary function.

Flattop regulates basal body docking and positioning in mono- and multiciliated cells
eLife, 2014 Planar cell polarity (PCP) regulates basal body (BB) docking and positioning during cilia formation, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we investigate the uncharacterized gene Flattop (Fltp) that is transcriptionally activated ...

Paramecium tetraurelia basal body structure [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 Paramecium is a free-living unicellular organism, easy to cultivate, featuring ca. 4000 motile cilia emanating from longitudinal rows of basal bodies anchored in the plasma membrane.
