FIG 7.

A family of orphan myosins target to distinct regions of the SPC. A cartoon schematic of a T. cruzi epimastigote is shown, highlighting the internal and external structures of the cytostome-cytopharynx complex. The microtubules of the axoneme, cytoskeleton, and root fibers are depicted in gray. The individual components of the SPC and parasite body are referenced in the associated key. Different colored lines denote the observed locations of the four orphan myosins targeted to distinct subregions of the cytostome-cytopharynx complex.
