Ciliates are a powerful model organism for the study of basal bodies and motile cilia. These
single-celled protists contain hundreds of cilia organized in an array making them an ideal …

Primary and motile cilia are eukaryotic organelles that perform crucial roles in cellular
signalling and motility. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) contributes to the formation of the highly …

Tubulin posttranslational modifications represent an important mechanism involved in the
regulation of microtubule functions. The most widespread among them are detyrosination …

The contractile vacuole complex (CVC) is a dynamic and morphologically complex
membrane organelle, comprising a large vesicle (bladder) linked with a tubular reticulum …

Primary cilia are microtubule-based sensory organelles whose dysfunction causes
ciliopathies in humans. The formation, function, and maintenance of primary cilia depend …

Primary cilia are antenna-like organelles that contain specific proteins, and are crucial for
tissue morphogenesis. Anterograde and retrograde trafficking of ciliary proteins are …

Ciliates assemble numerous microtubular structures into complex cortical patterns. During
ciliate division, the pattern is duplicated by intracellular segmentation that produces a …

Primary cilia are evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based organelles that protrude from
the surface of almost all cell types and decode a variety of extracellular stimuli. Ciliary …

ICK (also known as CILK1) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase–like kinase localized at the
ciliary tip. Its deficiency is known to result in the elongation of cilia and causes ciliopathies in …

Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles whose relatively simple
shape makes them ideal for investigating the fundamental question of organelle size …
