Gradient of Hpo1, an intracellular pattern regulator in Tetrahymena
A super-resolution microscopy image of the apical region of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila stained with the anti-centrin (green) that marks the basal bodies. The cell expresses Hpo1-3xHA (red), a protein that regulates the positions of cortical organelles on the circumferential (left-right) cell axis. Note that Hpo1 forms a bilateral gradient with a high point on the cell’s right (viewer’s left) side. See Lee et al.
