Abstract

Abstract The cytoskeleton of the parasitic protozoon Trypanosoma brucei consists of a membrane skeleton formed by a closely spaced array of membrane-associated microtubules. This membrane skeleton encloses the entire cell body.1 The closely spaced microtubules are extensively cross-linked among each other, and they are tightly connected to the overlying cell membrane. 2,3 They are highly resistant to the action of microtubule-disrupting drugs, and they are very stable upon extraction of the cell.
