The mastigont system is mainly formed by several proteinaceous structures associated with basal bodies, the pelta-axostylar complex made of microtubules, and striated filaments named the costa and the parabasal filaments (PFs). Although the structural organization of trichomonad cytoskeletons has been analyzed using several techniques, observation using a new generation of scanning electron microscopes with a resolution exceeding 1 nm has allowed more detailed visualization of the three-dimensional organization of the mastigont system. In this study, we have investigated the cytoskeleton of <em>T. vaginalis</em> using a diverse range of scanning probe microscopy techniques, which were complemented by electron tomography and Fast-Fourier methods. This multi-modal approach has allowed us to characterize an unknown parabasal filament and reveal the ultrastructure of other striated fibers that have not been published before.

We demonstrate that third order invariants distinguish 2D mirrored patterns (unlike the radial power spectrum), which is a fundamental aspects of its classification efficacy. We show the limitations of 3rd order invariants also, by giving an example of a wide family of patterns with identical (vanishing) set of 3rd order invariants. For sufficiently rich patterns, the third order invariants should distinguish typical images, textures and patterns.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17238,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Biology: X","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10314203/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9802121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
