RNAi-dependent Polycomb repression controls transposable elements in Tetrahymena
Genes & Development, 2019 In this study, Zhao et al. show that in the protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila, germline-specific internally eliminated sequences (IESs) become transcriptionally activated in mutants deficient in the RNAi-dependent Polycomb repression pathway.

mSphere, 2016 Basal bodies are essential microtubule-based structures that template, anchor, and orient cilia at the cell surface. Cilia act primarily in the generation of directional fluid flow and sensory reception, both of which are utilized for a broad spectrum of

Multilevel interrogation of H3.3 reveals a primordial role in transcription regulation
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2023 Background Eukaryotic cells can rapidly adjust their transcriptional profile in response to molecular needs. Such dynamic regulation is, in part, achieved through epigenetic modifications and selective incorporation of histone variants into chromatin. H3.

Involvement of a putative intercellular signal-recognizing G protein-coupled receptor in the engulfment of Salmonella by the protozoan Tetrahymena [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2013 In an effort to investigate the molecular basis of protozoa engulfment-mediated hypervirulence of Salmonella in cattle, we evaluated protozoan G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) as transducers of Salmonella engulfment by the model protozoan Tetrahymena.

Tetrahymena metallothioneins fall into two discrete subfamilies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Metallothioneins are ubiquitous small, cysteine-rich, multifunctional proteins which can bind heavy metals.We report the results of phylogenetic and gene expression analyses that include two new Tetrahymena thermophila metallothionein genes (MTT3 and ...
