研究者的目标是了解其机制和调节 鞭毛能动性 他们利用权势 衣原体的基因工具，加上新开发的 通过插入突变标记和克隆基因的技术，开始 分子解剖功能的中心对复合物的 鞭毛轴丝具体目标是：1）克隆和表征 中央器官成分的额外基因; 2）鉴定 与中央装置的组分相互作用的蛋白质; 3）以 定义组装和功能所需的功能域 使用体外诱变单独的中央装置组件。 的 amramdillo重复蛋白PF 16，将是第一个详细的目标 分子分析 研究者指出，中心研究 设备组件不仅会对该领域产生影响， 鞭毛运动，而且在运动调节领域， 微管功能

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.
