Importin-9 and a TPR domain protein MpH drive periodic patterning of ciliary arrays in Tetrahymena

We explored how the number of structures is determined in an intracellular organelle series. In Tetrahymena, the oral apparatus contains three diagonal ciliary rows: M1, M2, and M3. During development, the M rows emerge by sequential segmentation of a group of basal bodies, starting with the longest and most anterior M1 and ending with the […]
