Snf2 Proteins Are Required to Generate Gamete Pronuclei in Tetrahymena thermophila
Microorganisms, 2022 During sexual reproduction/conjugation of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, the germinal micronucleus undergoes meiosis resulting in four haploid micronuclei (hMICs).

The mitochondrial genome of Tetrahymena rostrata
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Tetrahymena rostrata is a ciliated protist which can parasitize the gray field slug, Deroceras reticulatum. Here, we report the sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mt genome) of a strain of T. rostrata that was isolated from the egg of D.

Nucleus-specific linker histones Hho1 and Mlh1 form distinct protein interactions during growth, starvation and development in Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]
, 2019 Chromatin organization influences most aspects of gene expression regulation. The linker histone H1, along with the core histones, is a key component of eukaryotic chromatin.

Cells, 2022 Motile cilia and eukaryotic flagella are specific cell protrusions that are conserved from protists to humans. They are supported by a skeleton composed of uniquely organized microtubules—nine peripheral doublets and two central singlets (9 × 2 + 2 ...

Parallel evolution of histophagy in ciliates of the genus
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2001 Background Species of Tetrahymena were grouped into three complexes based on morphological and life history traits: the pyriformis complex of microstomatous forms; the patula complex of microstome-macrostome transformers; and the rostrata complex of ...

A knockout mutation of a constitutive GPCR in Tetrahymena decreases both G-protein activity and chemoattraction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Although G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a common element in many chemosensory transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells, no GPCR or regulated G-protein activity has yet been shown in any ciliate.

Entry and Killing of
mBio, 2013 Phage-encoded Shiga toxin (Stx) acts as a bacterial defense against the eukaryotic predator Tetrahymena thermophila. It is unknown how Stx enters Tetrahymena protozoa or how it kills them.
