RADIAL SPOKE

The structure that links the outer microtubule doublet of the ciliary axoneme with the sheath that surrounds the central pair of microtubules. The spokes are arranged periodically along the axoneme each 29nm, have a stalk about 32nm long and a bulbous region adjacent to the sheath. at least 17 various polypeptides are associated with the spokes. Spokes are thought to restrict the sliding of doublets relative to one other, digestion of the radial spokes will let sliding separately of the doublets.
