- Mechanical induction of oscillatory movement in demembranated, immotile flagella of sea urchin sperm at very low ATP concentrations
Summary: Essential conditions to induce oscillatory movements of eukaryotic flagella under sub-threshold ATP concentrations were clarified.
- Effects of external strain on the regulation of microtubule sliding induced by outer arm dynein of sea urchin sperm flagella
Summary: Microtubule sliding produced by dynein molecules on glass can be modified flexibly under application of mechanical signals. This self-regulatory activity of dynein would be the basis of flagellar oscillation.
