Beautiful #cryoET paper on choanoflagellate #flagella #cilia revealing the enigmatic ciliary vane, new components and similarities to animal cilia

here is a picture of the central pair, tomographic slices and averages
and the ciliary vane, which is very different from the mastigonemes of e..g. #Chlamydomonas
A cilium with wings.
The paper is by Justine M Pinskey et al. Daniela Nicastro's lab - are you on Mastodon?
@jekely I don't think they are Justine is Twitter-bound and Dani's lab has only been on birdsite only for 2 months....
..and the #axoneme, with some holes in it.
Now we would need a choanoflagellate ciliary #proteome.
