Novel roles for the LRRC56 protein, an IFT cargo protein, in docking of dynein arms in Trypanosoma brucei

This study identifies LRRC56 as a transient IFT cargo required for docking complex protein attachment in Trypanosoma brucei, revealing its role in ODA docking and flagellar maturation.

SFI1 and centrin form a distal end complex critical for proper centriole architecture and ciliogenesis

This study identifies SFI1 and centrin as a distal end complex essential for centriole architecture and ciliogenesis in human cells.

The connecting cilium inner scaffold provides a structural foundation to maintain photoreceptor integrity

The paper identifies the connecting cilium inner scaffold (CC-IS) as a structural zipper that maintains photoreceptor integrity by linking microtubules, and shows that its loss leads to retinal degeneration.

Characterization of the Novel Mitochondrial Genome Segregation Factor TAP110 in Trypanosoma brucei

This study identifies TAP110 as a novel mitochondrial genome segregation factor in Trypanosoma brucei and shows its proximal positioning to kDNA using ultrastructure expansion microscopy.

Intraflagellar transport during the assembly of flagella of different length in Trypanosoma brucei isolated from tsetse flies

This study examines how Trypanosoma brucei modulates flagellum length during development in tsetse flies, finding a correlation between intraflagellar transport protein levels and flagellum length.

Two alveolin network proteins are essential for the subpellicular microtubules assembly and conoid anchoring to the apical pole of mature Toxoplasma gondii

This study identifies AC9 and AC10 as essential alveolin network proteins required for SPMT assembly and conoid anchoring in Toxoplasma gondii, with loss of these proteins leading to conoidless mature parasites.

A key regulatory protein for flagellum length control in stable flagella

This paper identifies Cep164C as a key protein involved in maintaining stable flagellum length in Trypanosoma brucei by acting as a molecular lock at the flagellum base.

Timing and original features of flagellum assembly in trypanosomes during development in the tsetse fly

This paper investigates flagellum assembly in Trypanosoma brucei during differentiation in tsetse flies, revealing unique structural and temporal features distinct from procyclic cells.

A grow-and-lock model for the control of flagellum length in trypanosomes

This paper investigates flagellum length control in Trypanosoma brucei, proposing a 'grow-and-lock' model where flagella elongate until a locking event fixes their length.

Bidirectional intraflagellar transport is restricted to two sets of microtubule doublets in the trypanosome flagellum

This study identifies two distinct IFT tracks in trypanosome flagella using microscopy, showing bidirectional transport on parallel lines and dynamic conversion of anterograde to retrograde trains.
