3D Architecture of the Trypanosoma brucei Flagella Connector, a Mobile Transmembrane Junction.
BACKGROUND:Cellular junctions are crucial for the formation of multicellular organisms, where they anchor cells to each other and/or supportive tissue and enable cell-to-cell communication.Some unicellular organisms, such as the parasitic protist Trypanosoma brucei, also have complex cellular junctions.The flagella connector (FC) is a three-layered
