The investigator's goal is to understand the mechanism and regulation of flagellar motility. They have taken advantage of the powerful genetic tools available in Chlamydomonas, coupled with newly developed techniques to tag and clone genes by insertional mutagenesis, to begin a molecular dissection of function of the central pair complex of the flagellar axoneme. The specific aims are: 1) to clone and characterize additional genes for central apparatus components; 2) to identify proteins interacting with components of the central apparatus; 3) to define functional domains required for assembly and function of individual central apparatus components using in vitro mutagenesis. The amramdillo repeat protein PF16, will be the first target for detailed molecular analysis. The investigator states that the study of central apparatus components will not only have an impact on the field of flagellar motility but also on the fields of motor regulation and microtubule function.

研究者的目标是了解机制和调节 鞭毛运动。 他们利用了强大的优势 衣藻可用的遗传工具，加上新开发的 通过插入突变来标记和克隆基因的技术，开始 中心对复合体功能的分子解剖 鞭毛轴丝。具体目标是：1）克隆和表征 中央装置组件的额外基因； 2）识别 蛋白质与中央装置的成分相互作用； 3）到 定义组装和功能所需的功能域 使用体外诱变的单个中央装置组件。 这 amramdillo重复蛋白PF16，将是详细研究的第一个目标 分子分析。 研究人员表示，这项研究中央 设备组件不仅会对领域产生影响 鞭毛运动，而且还涉及运动调节和 微管功能。
