Abstract
The characterization of SF-assemblin, a major protein component of the microtubule-associated system I fibers of the basal apparatus of the flagellate green alga Spermatozopsis similis, is reported. The results showed that SF-assemblin consists of a 31-residue NH2-terminal which forms a proline-rich nonhelical domain and a 253-residue rod domain forming an alpha-helical coiled coil. The implications of this particular structure for microtubule binding are discussed.
