Proximity Interactions among Basal Body Components in <italic toggle="yes">Trypanosoma brucei</italic> Identify Novel Regulators of Basal Body Biogenesis and Inheritance

ABSTRACT The basal body shares similar architecture with centrioles in animals and is involved in nucleating flagellar axonemal microtubules in flagellated eukaryotes. The early-branching Trypanosoma brucei possesses a motile flagellum nucleated from the basal body that consists of a mature basal bo...
