Dynein-2 intermediate chains play crucial but distinct roles in primary cilia formation and function
eLife, 2018 The dynein-2 microtubule motor is the retrograde motor for intraflagellar transport. Mutations in dynein-2 components cause skeletal ciliopathies, notably Jeune syndrome. Dynein-2 contains a heterodimer of two non-identical intermediate chains, WDR34 and

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT cAMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKA) plays a central role in regulating sperm motility in both invertebrates and mammals. The sea mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis provides a valuable model for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying gamete activation in externally fertilizing organisms.

eLife, 2016 Cilia and flagella are model systems for studying how mechanical forces control morphology. The periodic bending motion of cilia and flagella is thought to arise from mechanical feedback: dynein motors generate sliding forces that bend the flagellum, and

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The analysis of the genomic architecture of selection can be insightful for the understanding of sexual conflict and sexual selection acting in wild populations. In general, there will be a wide range of possible targets of selection in the reproductive system of sexually promiscuous species.

PSMA8‐Containing 20S Proteasome Regulates Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.PSMA8 assembles s20S proteasome that degrades specific substrates in elongating spermatids. Degradation of s20S‐substrates activates translation of FXR1‐target mRNAs, which are essential for mitochondrial sheath formation and sperm morphogenesis.

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition marked by cognitive decline and synaptic issues. Recent studies show primary cilia (PCs), sensory organelles present on the surface of most mammalian cells, act as a critical regulators of brain homeostasis and signaling.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 7, Page 457-465, July 2026.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

[Elongation of the axoneme and dynamics of intraflagellar transport].
Medecine sciences : M/S, 2014 Cilia and flagella are essential organelles in most eukaryotes including human beings. In this review, we will discuss the mode of assembly of these complex organelles that depends on a dynamic process called intraflagellar transport or IFT. IFT delivers structural elements at the distal end of the cilium where assembly takes place, thereby allowing ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 The precursor of the flagellar axoneme is already present in the primary spermatocytes of Drosophila melanogaster. During spermatogenesis each primary spermatocyte shows a centriole pair that moves to the cell membrane and organizes an axoneme-based ...
