This chapter discusses the three cytoskeletal elements found in the cell body of Chlamydomonas; they are microtubules, filamentous (F-) actin, and septin. For microtubules and F-actin, it covers the multiple structures formed during vegetative growth and cell division, as well as their organization, dynamics, and regulation. The role of F-actin during sexual differentiation is also discussed. It then describes the currently limited yet intriguing findings on the single septin protein in Chlamydomonas. The chapter demonstrates the advantages of using Chlamydomonas in studying the cytoskeleton to uncover conserved mechanisms and gain insights into their evolution.
