Figure 7
Frame view of paraflagellar rod animation during flagellar beating in comparison to deep-etching replicas.
(A and B) Show the flagellum in a straight state and (C and D) in a bent state. (A and C) Schematic 3D representation and (B and D) deep-etching replica images. Axoneme (light pink), filaments that link the PFR to the axoneme (purple), proximal and distal domains of the PFR (red), and the intermediate domain (salmon). These schematic 3D representations were made based on micrographs of transmission electron microscopy (image courtesy of Gustavo Rocha).
