One of the nine doublet microtubules of eukaryotic flagella exhibits unique and partially conserved structures.
The axonemal core of motile cilia and flagella consists of nine doublet microtubules surrounding two central single microtubules. Attached to the doublets are thousands of dynein motors that produce sliding between neighboring doublets, which in turn causes flagellar bending. Although many structura...
