They are also present in centrioles and basal bodies.
Tektins are thought to be involved in the assembly of the basal body.
PiCdc14 was found to accumulate near the basal bodies, at the base of the flagella.
The a cytoskeletal structure extends from the basal body to the kinetoplast.
The basal body duplicates and both remain associated with the kinetoplast.
These arise from a basal body or kinetosome, with microtubule roots that are an important part of the cell's brain.
The association of the replicating kinetoplast to the two basal bodies causes it to have a domed appearance.
A shaft runs between the hook and the basal body, passing through protein rings in the cell's membrane that act as bearings.
First, the basal bodies from centrioles must migrate to the surface of the cell and attach to the cortex.
Two microtubular roots lie deep to the plasma membrane and are attached to each basal body.
