In most protists, as well as in most metazoan motile gametes, the function of cilia and flagella seems obvious: the production of whole cell swimming movements brought about by the coordinated initiation and propagation of bends. In metazoa, the coordinated activity of cilia on ciliated epithelia results in the movement of water, mucus, or gametes along the free surface ofan epithelium. The bending motility ofcilia and flagella arises from their highly specialized cytoskeleton, referred to as the axoneme (1 9). Indeed, the demonstration that demembranated and washed ciliary and flagellar axonemes can be reactivated to exhibit essentially normal patterns of motility (19) led for years to a lack of attention being paid to ciliary and flagellar surfaces. In recent years, however, it has become clear that ciliary and flagellar membranes perform many important functions for eukaryotic cells including signal transmission via a calcium action potential (32), anchorage of marine invertebrates to solid substrates (50), binding of parasitic protozoa to the gut lining of the insect host (1 3, 30), whole cell gliding movements (4), mating interactions in ciliate protozoa (3 1, 52) and algal flagellates (1, 5 I), and the location of odorant receptors in the olfactory epithelium (4 1). Most of these functions are independent of normal bending motility and are associated with ciliary or flagellar membrane glycoproteins. For a variety of historical and tech-
