The cooperative roles of two kinetoplastid-specific kinesins in cytokinesis and in maintaining cell morphology in bloodstream trypanosomes.

The cytoskeleton of Trypanosoma brucei, a unicellular eukaryote and a parasitic protozoan, is defined by the subpellicular microtubule corset that is arranged underneath the plasma membrane.
