Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.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

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

Meiotic Genes in Colpodean Ciliates Support Secretive Sexuality
, 2017 Colpodean ciliates potentially pose a problem to macro-organismic theories of evolution: they are putatively asexual and extremely ancient, and yet there is one apparently derived sexual species.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microtubules are noncovalent polymers assembled from α/β tubulin dimers. Their structure, dynamics and interaction with effectors are regulated through the expression of diverse tubulin isotypes and chemically diverse posttranslational modifications, also known as the “tubulin code.” Understanding the biophysical correlates between tubulin ...

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention: Ciliates, Transposons, and Transgenerational Inheritance
, 2017 Ciliates are a fascinating model system for the study of the interaction between eukaryotic germlines and somatic lines, especially with regard to the invasion and defence against transposable elements.

Identification of novel genes regulating the development of the palate
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) has generated thousands of knockout mouse lines, many of which exhibit embryonic or perinatal lethality. Using micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT), the IMPC has created and publicly released three‐dimensional image data sets of embryos from these lethal and subviable lines.

Trophy constrains the temperature effect on ciliate species turnover rates
EcosphereWe applied FlowCam analysis cross‐validated by 18S rDNA sequences and taxonomic literature to study seasonal and short‐term population dynamics and species turnover in ciliate plankton during 15 months with high‐frequency samplings in a shallow temperate
