Polo-like kinase phosphorylation of the orphan kinesin KIN-G negatively regulates centrin arm biogenesis in <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>
The unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei assembles a motile flagellum that is required for locomotion, cell division plane placement, and cell-cell communication. Inheritance of the flagellum during the cell cycle relies on the faithful duplication/segregation of multiple flagellum-associated cytoskeletal structures, including a centrin-marked, bar-shaped structure termed centrin arm, which…
