Figure 5: Schemes showing the predicted association of the MT network and the actin cytoskeleton with the basal bodies of motile cilia from the acquired tomograms.

From: Basal foot MTOC organizes pillar MTs required for coordination of beating cilia

Figure 5

Side (a, b) or top (c, d) views are presented for wt (a, c) and gal3−/− (b, d) ciliated cells. MTs (green), actin cables (orange), galectin-3 (purple) and γ-tubulin (yellow) are represented at the BBs (blue) and at the basal-foot cap (red). The relative position of the actin cytoskeleton to the basal foot in wt (a) and gal3−/− (b) is showed with black (above the basal foot), grey (the top of the basal foot) and white (at the level of the basal-foot cap) arrows and lines. (c,d) Black, grey and white panels correspond to black, grey and white line positions in a and b.
