Genetic dissection of the Leishmania paraflagellar rod, a unique flagellar cytoskeleton structure.

Maga, JA; Sherwin, T; Francis, S; Gull, K; LeBowitz, JH

Abstract:

The paraflagellar rod (PFR) is a unique network of cytoskeletal filaments that lies alongside the axoneme in the flagella of most trypanosomatids. While little is known about how two major Leishmania mexicana PFR protein components, PFR1 and PFR2, assemble into this complex structure, previous analysis of PFR2 null mutants demonstrated that the PFR is essential for proper cell motility. The structural roles of PFR1 and PFR2 are now examined through comparison of PFR2 null mutants with new PFR...
