Adaptation of Marine Heterotrophic Protists to Long‐Term Warming Selection [PDF]
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.Our study unraveled profitable adaptations of marine protozoa to long‐term warming. The optimal temperature, maximum growth rates, cell homeostasis, and cell size significantly increased after warming adaptation, suggesting a resilient future for this functional group.

Acta Protozoologica, 2014 Aerobic protozoa can maintain fully aerobic metabolic rates even at very low O 2 -tensions; this is related to their small sizes. Many - or perhaps all - protozoa show particular preferences for a given range of O 2 -tensions. The reasons for this and the role for their distribution in nature are discussed and examples of protozoan biota in O 2 ...

Depletion of Toxoplasma adenine nucleotide translocator leads to defects in mitochondrial morphology
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) is a protein that catalyzes the exchange of ADP/ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Beyond this, ANT is closely associated with cell death pathways and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the essential nature of Rab1B in Toxoplasma gondii
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii encodes a dozen Rab proteins, which are parts of the small GTPase superfamily and regulate intracellular membrane trafficking.

Requirement of Toxoplasma gondii metacaspases for IMC1 maturation, endodyogeny and virulence in mice
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Metacaspases are multifunctional proteins found in plants, fungi and protozoa, and are involved in processes such as insoluble protein aggregate clearance and cell proliferation.

Microneme Protein 6 Is Involved in Invasion and Egress by Neospora caninum
Pathogens, 2021 Background: Neospora caninum, is the etiological agent of neosporosis, an infection that causes abortions in cattle and nervous system dysfunction in dogs. Invasion and egress are the key steps of the pathogenesis of N. caninum infection.

Functional characterization of acyl-CoA binding protein in Neospora caninum
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Lipid metabolism is pivotal for the growth of apicomplexan parasites. Lipid synthesis requires bulk carbon skeleton acyl-CoAs, the transport of which depends on the acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP).

Biotinylation of the Neospora caninum parasitophorous vacuole reveals novel dense granule proteins
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular parasite that invades host cells and replicates within the parasitophorous vacuole (PV), which resists fusion with host cell lysosomal compartments. To modify the PV, the parasite secretes an array
