Targeted mutation of the Spag17 gene causes a central pair (CP) defect. (A) Transmission electron micrograph from a Spag17+/+ mouse depicts a “9 + 2” microtubule arrangement. (B) Transmission electron micrograph from a Spag17−/− mouse depicts axonemes lacking a microtubule in the CP (arrows). (C) High-magnification electron micrograph from a Spag17+/+ mouse depicts a “9 + 2” microtubule arrangement. (D) High-magnification electron micrographs from a Spag17−/− mouse depict axonemes lacking a microtubule in the central apparatus.
