Whats, hows and whys of programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena [PDF]
Open Biology, 2017 Programmed genome rearrangements in ciliates provide fascinating examples of flexible epigenetic genome regulations and important insights into the interaction between transposable elements (TEs) and host genomes.

Tetrahymena meiosis: Simple yet ingenious.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 The presence of meiosis, which is a conserved component of sexual reproduction, across organisms from all eukaryotic kingdoms, strongly argues that sex is a primordial feature of eukaryotes.

Hidden genomic evolution in a morphospecies-The landscape of rapidly evolving genes in Tetrahymena.
PLoS Biology, 2019 A morphospecies is defined as a taxonomic species based wholly on morphology, but often morphospecies consist of clusters of cryptic species that can be identified genetically or molecularly.

Structural basis of template-boundary definition in Tetrahymena telomerase. [PDF]
Nature Structural &Molecular Biology, 2015 Telomerase is required to maintain repetitive G-rich telomeric DNA sequences at chromosome ends. To do so, the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) subunit reiteratively uses a small region of the integral telomerase RNA (TER) as a template.

Reactivation of ethanol-calcium-isolated cilia from Tetrahymena pyriformis [PDF]
, 1967 Cilia isolated from Tetrahymena after ciliary shedding is induced by the addition of CaCl2 or other salts to cells suspended in an ethanol solution (4, 6, 11) have been studied chemically and enzymatically (4, 6, 11, 12, 13), but until now have never ...

bioRxiv, 2022 Using cryo-EM, the authors identified 42 MIPs, including outer junction protein CFAP77 and outer dense fibers, in native doublet microtubules of Tetrahymena thermophila . Knockout of CFAP77 reduced ciliary beat frequency and led to outer junction damage.

Cardiolipin targets a dynamin-related protein to the nuclear membrane
eLife, 2021 Dynamins are targeted to specific cellular membranes that they remodel via membrane fusion or fission. The molecular basis of conferring specificity to dynamins for their target membrane selection is not known.

Communications Biology, 2021 Helical swimming in free-space is a common behavior among microorganisms, such as ciliates that are covered with thousands hair-like motile cilia, and is thought to be essential for cells to orient directly to an external stimulus.

Tetrahymena: an alternative model host for evaluating virulence of Aeromonas strains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 An easier assessment model would be helpful for high-throughput screening of Aeromonas virulence. The previous study indicated the potential of Tetrahymena as a permissive model to examine virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila.

Gene network landscape of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Genome-wide expression data of gene microarrays can be used to infer gene networks. At a cellular level, a gene network provides a picture of the modules in which genes are densely connected, and of the hub genes, which are highly connected with other ...
