Localization of MDs. (A) Western blot analysis of wild-type (wt), ida4, ida5, ida10, and pf3 axonemes using antibodies to DHC3, DHC4, DHC11, and IC140 (an IC of dynein f, used as a positive control). The molecular masses of DHC3, DHC4, and DHC11 are expected values, as they migrate significantly more slowly than the 250-kD molecular mass marker, which is not shown. (B) The 96-nm surface renderings of MTD2-8+ and MTD1+ of wild type and MTD2-9− and MTD1− of wild type, ida4, ida5, ida10, ida1, and pf3. There are three MD densities that deviated from the common inner-arm dynein structures, MD1–3, indicated with arrowheads in different colors. They can be the candidates of the MDs. A filled arrowhead indicates the presence of dynein, whereas an open arrowhead with the same border color indicates the absence of dynein from the respective position. Bar, 16 nm.
