Basal body/centriole assembly and continuity
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2003The long-standing interest in centrioles and basal bodies stems from the evolutionary conservation of their structural design and from their dual mode of assembly (templated versus de novo), revealed by electron microscopic studies nearly four decades ago and unique for a subcellular organelle.

Characteristics of Basal Body Cartwheel Reassembly
The Journal of Protozoology, 1989ABSTRACT. Cartwheel complexes reassembled in a fraction derived by treating isolated oral apparatuses from Tetrahymena with 1.0 M KC1 for 12 h. Approximately 40% of the KCl‐soluble protein reassembled into cartwheel complexes. The reassembly reaction was protein‐concentration dependent, and reassembled cartwheels were stable at 3° C.

Chapter 45 Purification of Basal Bodies and Basal Body Complexes from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
1995Publisher Summary The microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in Chlamydomonas is defined as the pair of basal bodies, the rootlet microtubules, the distal and proximal striated fibers, and the nucleobasal body connectors (NBBCs). In Chlamydomonas , three different protocols can be used to obtain isolated basal body complexes.

Tektins as structural determinants in basal bodies
Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton, 1998Tektins, present as three equimolar 47-55 kDa protein components, form highly insoluble protofilaments that are integral to the junctional region of outer doublet microtubules in cilia and flagella. To identify and quantify tektins in other compound microtubules such as centrioles or basal bodies, a rabbit antiserum was raised against tektin filaments ...

Cholangiocyte Cilia and Basal Bodies
2010Primary cilia are nonmotile, tubular organelles extending from the cell plasma membrane. They are important in maintaining normal cell physiology and in many clinical disorders (i.e., cilia-related diseases or ciliopathies) associated with abnormalities in ciliary structure and/or function.

Centriole maturation and transformation to basal body
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2010Centrioles and basal bodies are fascinating and mysterious organelles. They interconvert and seem to be crucial for a wide range of crucial cellular processes. However, intense research over the last years suggested that centrioles/basal bodies are essential mainly for the generation of cilia.

Basal bodies are modified centrioles that give rise to cilia and flagella. The basal body is a complex structure that can form through at least two distinct pathways depending on the cell type. Corresponding to this structural complexity, the basal body proteome contains a large number of proteins, many of which correspond to cilia-related disease ...

The Basal Body of Bacterial Flagella
1973The bacterial flagellum is composed of three structurally defined parts: the filament, the hook, and the basal body. The filament is a long, narrow helical structure composed of the protein flagellin, and comprises approximately 98 per cent of the flagellum’s length.
