Fig. 5

Basal body row alignment and SR appearance in cells with Paralog Group or Structural Group depletion. All images of cell surfaces show basal body rows (ID5 antibody) in green and SRs in red (anti-SR). a An image of a cell with Structural Group 1 depleted. b–l The representative images of cells depleted of Paralog Groups 2–13. m–o The representative images of the cells depleted of Structural Groups 3–5. Depletion of Paralog Groups (b–l) does not affect basal body row alignment or the organization of SRs, whereas depletion of Structural Groups (a, m–o) results in misaligned basal body rows and abnormal SR rows. Scale bars are 3 μm. f–h Have been rotated for easier comparison
