CryoEM structure of the central apparatus of the Trypanosoma brucei flagellum

Saarang Kashyap, Xian Xia, Hui Wang…·Z. Hong Zhou

This study uses cryoEM to reveal the structure of the central apparatus in Trypanosoma brucei flagella, identifying PF16 as a key scaffold and uncovering lineage-specific adaptations.
