Thr150 is required for basal body stability. Etu1p-T150V and wild-type cells were starved for 24 hours at 38°C and then analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Many basal bodies lack complete microtubule triplets. (A,C) These basal bodies show a combination of triplet and doublet microtubules. (B) This basal body is missing an entire triplet and the remainder are a combination of doublet and triplet microtubules. (D) A wild-type (WT) basal body with a complete set of microtubule triplets.
