Fossilized skin reveals coevolution with feathers and metabolism in feathered dinosaurs and early birds [PDF]
, 2018 Feathers are remarkable evolutionary innovations that are associated with complex adaptations of the skin in modern birds. Fossilised feathers in non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds provide insights into feather evolution, but how associated ...

A centriolar FGR1 oncogene partner-like protein required for paraflagellar rod assembly, but not axoneme assembly in African trypanosomes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Proteins of the FGR1 oncogene partner (or FOP) family are found at microtubule organizing centres (MTOCs) including, in flagellate eukaryotes, the centriole or flagellar basal body from which the axoneme extends.

Comparative Biology of Centrosomal Structures in Eukaryotes
Cells, 2018 The centrosome is not only the largest and most sophisticated protein complex within a eukaryotic cell, in the light of evolution, it is also one of its most ancient organelles.

Distribution of interstitial stem cells in Hydra [PDF]
, 1979 The distribution of interstitial stem cells along the Hydra body column was determined using a simplified cloning assay. The assay measures stem cells as clone-forming units (CFU) in aggregates of nitrogen mustard inactivated Hydra tissue.

Paramecium tetraurelia basal body structure [PDF]
Cilia, 2015 Paramecium is a free-living unicellular organism, easy to cultivate, featuring ca. 4000 motile cilia emanating from longitudinal rows of basal bodies anchored in the plasma membrane. The basal body circumferential polarity is marked by the asymmetrical organization of its associated appendages.

Disruption of the basal body protein POC1B results in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy [PDF]
, 2014 Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation (c.317C>G [p.Arg106Pro]) in POC1B, encoding POC1 centriolar protein B, in three siblings with autosomal-recessive cone dystrophy or cone-rod dystrophy and compound-heterozygous POC1B mutations (c ...

Basal Body Components Exhibit Differential Protein Dynamics during Nascent Basal Body Assembly [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2009 Basal bodies organize cilia that are responsible for both mechanical beating and sensation. Nascent basal body assembly follows a series of well characterized morphological events; however, the proteins and their assembly dynamics for new basal body formation and function are not well understood.

Dzip1 and Fam92 form a ciliary transition zone complex with cell type specific roles in Drosophila
eLife, 2019 Cilia and flagella are conserved eukaryotic organelles essential for cellular signaling and motility. Cilia dysfunctions cause life-threatening ciliopathies, many of which are due to defects in the transition zone (TZ), a complex structure of the ciliary
