How flagella are remodeled accordingly remains unclear. Unlike externally fertilizing zebrafish and sea urchins, mammalian flagella feature a barrel between radial spokes (RSs) RS1 and RS2. Here, we show that this RS1-RS2 barrel (RRB) is a unique T-complex protein-1 ring complex (TRiC) that folds locally translated polypeptides to sustain flagellar motility. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reveals a flagellum-specific TRiC structure. An in situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) map of flagellar axonemes captures the RRB TRiC in an active, substrate-receptive state, with additional densities suggestive of folding substrates and cofactors. Mammalian flagella contain components of translation machineries and locally synthesize proteins. Cross-linking mass spectrometry identifies candidate locally translated axonemal proteins and folding substrates. Furthermore, a TRiC ATPase inhibitor markedly represses mouse sperm motility. Our findings provide insights into flagellar remodeling in internally fertilizing species. |
