The Chlamydomonas Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions

Sabeeha S. Merchant, +118 more
- 12 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI

The radial spokes and central apparatus: mechano-chemical transducers that regulate flagellar motility.

TL;DR: A model in which the central apparatus and radial spokes serve as mechano-chemical sensors to control motility in 9+2 cilia and flagella is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radial spoke proteins of Chlamydomonas flagella

TL;DR: Mass spectrometry is used to identify 10 additional radial spoke proteins, including the recently described HSP40 family member and a second spoke stalk protein predicted to be a molecular chaperone, implying that there is a sophisticated mechanism for the assembly of this large complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of Calmodulin and Dynein Light Chain Lc8 in Flagellar Radial Spokes

TL;DR: A novel procedure to isolate intact radial spokes is developed as a step toward understanding the mechanism by which these complexes regulate dynein activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Casein Kinase I Is Anchored on Axonemal Doublet Microtubules and Regulates Flagellar Dynein Phosphorylation and Activity

TL;DR: It is proposed that casein kinase I is anchored on the outer doublet microtubules in position to regulate flagellar dynein.
