In Figure 3D, the junctional pores are seen as an array of tilted tubes. The mechanism of rotation is still a mystery because oscillin itself is not present in the strain KS. This is discussed in Section 3.7 with reservations on our hypothesis of inclined junctional pores. On the other hand, the involvement of fibrils in the rotation and locomotion was proposed a long time ago, whether the fibrils are made of oscillin or other proteins. In this respect, we still have to work a lot to identify the real mechanism of rotation.
(d) Please omit the description about helical tilted junctional pores. These structures are clearly not arranged in this way and the reasons for rotation are the unfortunately not-preserved surface structures mentioned above.
