BMC Microbiology, 2010 Background Epitope tagging is a powerful strategy to study the function of proteins. Although tools for C-terminal protein tagging in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila have been developed, N-terminal protein tagging in this organism is still

La captación de colesterol por Tetrahymena thermophila se realiza principalmente por fagocitosis [PDF]
, 2018 The free-living ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a unicellular model organism in which landmark biological processes have been discovered, such as the first description of telomerase activity and the molecular structure of telomeres, the mechanism of ...

Mechanically probing the folding pathway of single RNA molecules [PDF]
Biophys. J. 84 (2003) 2831-2840, 2002 We study theoretically the denaturation of single RNA molecules by mechanical stretching, focusing on signatures of the (un)folding pathway in molecular fluctuations. Our model describes the interactions between nucleotides by incorporating the experimentally determined free energy rules for RNA secondary structure, while exterior single stranded ...

Living unicellular eukaryote Tetrahymena pyriformis as a model for study [PDF]
, 2011 Some animals are able to survive for a long time under conditions of drastically reduced oxidative metabolism, called metabolic depression. The most investigated type of metabolic depression is hibernation.

Biological evaluation of honey
RUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2013 The article shows the results of the use of ciliates Tetrahymena pyriformis, for biological evaluation of honey. It is known that ciliates Tetrahymena pyriformis, similar in general characteristics of metabolism with higher animals, can serve as ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 Meiotic DNA double-strand breaks produce reciprocally exchanged DNA strands, which mature into chiasmata that hold homologous chromosomes together as bivalents. These bivalents are subsequently separated in the first meiotic division. In a mutant lacking

Introducing the concept of biocatalysis in the classroom: The conversion of cholesterol to provitamin D 3 [PDF]
, 2016 Biocatalysis is a fundamental concept in biotechnology. The topic integrates knowledge of several disciplines; therefore, it was included in the course “design and optimization of biological systems” which is offered in the biochemistry curricula.

Methylation of histone H3K23 blocks DNA damage in pericentric heterochromatin during meiosis
eLife, 2014 Despite the well-established role of heterochromatin in protecting chromosomal integrity during meiosis and mitosis, the contribution and extent of heterochromatic histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) remain poorly defined.
