Mitochondrial metabolism of the facultative parasite Chilodonella uncinata (Alveolata, Ciliophora)
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Chilodonella uncinata is an aerobic ciliate capable of switching between being free-living and parasitic on fish fins and gills, causing tissue damage and host mortality.

Diversity and evolution of tyrosinase enzymes involved in the adhesive systems of mussels and tubeworms [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Mussels and tubeworms have evolved similar adhesive systems to cope with the hydrodynamics of intertidal environments. Both secrete adhesive proteins rich in DOPA, a post-translationally modified amino acid playing essential roles in their ...

A diversified and segregated mRNA spliced-leader system in the parasitic Perkinsozoa
Open Biology, 2022 Spliced-leader trans-splicing (SLTS) has been described in distantly related eukaryotes and acts to mark mRNAs with a short 5′ exon, giving different mRNAs identical 5′ sequence-signatures. The function of these systems is obscure.
