WHAT DOES KINETOSOME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

kinetosome

Basal body

A basal body is an organelle formed from a centriole, and a short cylindrical array of microtubules. It is found at the base of a eukaryotic undulipodium and serves as a nucleation site for the growth of the axoneme microtubules. Centrioles, from which basal bodies are derived, act as anchoring sites for proteins that in turn anchor microtubules within centrosomes, and are known as the microtubule organizing center. These microtubules provide structure and facilitate movement of vesicles and organelles within many eukaryotic cells. The term, basal body is, however, reserved specifically for the base structures of eukaryote cilia and flagella which extend out from the cell. Basal bodies are derived from centrioles through a largely mysterious process. They are structurally the same, each containing a microtubule triplet 9*3 helicoidal configuration forming a hollow cylinder, containing a microtubule doublet in its center. The overlying axoneme, however, consists of a 9*2 + 2 structure. Regulation of basal body production and spatial orientation is a function of the nucleotide-binding domain of γ-tubulin.

Definition of kinetosome in the English dictionary

The definition of kinetosome in the dictionary is a structure in some flagellate protozoans which forms the base of the flagellum, consisting of a circular arrangement of microtubules.
