THE FUNCTION OF THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE IN PARAMECIUM CAUDATUM; WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE EXCRETION OF NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS

, 1927
1. The presence of ammonia and urea in Paramecium cultures has been demonstrated.2. Ammonia is due to the hydrolysis of urea, and is not excreted as such.3. Nitrogen is eliminated in the form of urea.4. All the urea excreted can not be eliminated through

Membrane particle arrays associated with the basal body and with contractile vacuole secretion in Chlamydomonas. [PDF]

Journal of Cell Biology, 1977
Freeze-fracture replicas reveal that five distinct types of intramembranous particle arrays coexist within a small sector of the C. reinhardtii cell flagellar membrane. Of these, three are newly described in this report.

Endosomal vesicle fusion machinery is involved with the contractile vacuole in Dictyostelium discoideum.

Journal of Cell Science, 2022
Contractile vacuoles (CVs) share common characteristics, such as a requirement for RAB11 and high levels of V-ATPase. These commonalities suggest a conserved evolutionary origin for the CVs with implications for understanding of the last common ancestor ...

Mutation update for the ACTN2 gene

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 1745-1756, December 2022., 2022
Abstract ACTN2 encodes alpha‐actinin‐2, a protein expressed in human cardiac and skeletal muscle. The protein, located in the sarcomere Z‐disk, functions as a link between the anti‐parallel actin filaments. This important structural protein also binds N‐terminal titins, and thus contributes to sarcomere stability.

In vitro screening and in vivo evaluation of antiparasitic phytochemicals against Cryptocaryon irritans in pompano, Trachinotus ovatus

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1084-1100, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cryptocaryon irritans, one of the most devastating holotrichous ciliated protozoans, causes massive economic losses in the pompano, Trachinotus ovatus, mariculture industries. Considering the many advantages of phytochemicals, such as low cost, low residuals, and low pollution, they can be a good alternative for the prevention and control of C.

Cortactin: A universal host cytoskeletal target of Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacterial pathogens

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 623-636, December 2022., 2022
In host‐pathogen interactions, actin‐cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in successful adherence, invasion, and intracellular motility by many intruding microbes. To achieve this goal, bacterial pathogens target major host regulators, one of which is the key actin‐binding protein and class‐II actin nucleation‐promoting factor cortactin.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of Pseudovorticella ciliates (Ciliophora, Peritrichia): Two new and one rare species from the coastal waters of China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Peritrich ciliates are a species-rich group of sessile unicellular eukaryotes, which can be found in various aquatic habitats from all over the world. It is well accepted that there are still many ciliates to be uncovered.
