Pdsg1 and Pdsg2, novel proteins involved in developmental genome remodelling in Paramecium. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The epigenetic influence of maternal cells on the development of their progeny has long been studied in various eukaryotes. Multicellular organisms usually provide their zygotes not only with nutrients but also with functional elements required for ...

Improved methods and resources for paramecium genomics: transcription units, gene annotation and gene expression

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background The 15 sibling species of the Paramecium aurelia cryptic species complex emerged after a whole genome duplication that occurred tens of millions of years ago.

Crucial Role of Legionella pneumophila TolC in the Inhibition of Cellular Trafficking in the Protistan Host Paramecium tetraurelia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular Gram-negative bacterium, which is a major causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease. In the environment, this bacterium survives in free-living protists such as amoebae and Tetrahymena. The association

Evolution of the Exon-Intron Structure in Ciliate Genomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
A typical eukaryotic gene is comprised of alternating stretches of regions, exons and introns, retained in and spliced out a mature mRNA, respectively.

Calmodulin in Paramecium: Focus on Genomic Data

Microorganisms, 2022
Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger that plays a key role in cellular signaling. However, Ca2+ signals are transduced with the help of Ca2+-binding proteins, which serve as sensors, transducers, and elicitors. Among the collection of these Ca2+

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates [PDF]

, 2013
Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B.

Metabolism of saturated fatty acids by Paramecium tetraurelia.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
Paramecium requires oleate for growth. The phospholipids of the ciliate contain high concentrations of palmitate and 18- and 20-carbon unsaturated fatty acids. We previously showed that radiolabeled oleate is desaturated and elongated to provide these 18-

Density-and trait-mediated effects of a parasite and a predator in a tri-trophic food web [PDF]

, 2014
1. Despite growing interest in ecological consequences of parasitism in food webs, relatively little is known about effects of parasites on long-term population dynamics of non-host species or about whether such effects are density- or trait- mediated ...
