β¦ Synopsis
Little is known about the molecular composition of the ciliary rootlet. We raised monoclonal antibodies to a crude preparation of striated rootlets isolated from the human oviduct, and obtained a clone (R4109) that specifically labeled the ciliary rootlets. Rootlets associated with the solitary cilium in secretory cells and fibroblasts were also labeled. R4109 identified a 195-kDa protein by immunoblotting. Ciliogenic cells in the oviduct epithelium of young mice were labeled in the globular and/or granular pattern by R4109 by immunofluorescence microscopy. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that they corresponded to fibrogranular complex and dense granule, respectively. The result demonstrated that the 195-kDa protein is a component common to the striated rootlet and dense granule, and thus suggested that dense granules are involved in the rootlet formation. Cell
