Tetrahymena RIB72A and RIB72B are microtubule inner proteins in the ciliary doublet microtubules
bioRxiv, 2018 Doublet and triplet microtubules are essential and highly stable core structures of centrioles, basal bodies, cilia and flagella. In contrast to dynamic cytoplasmic microtubules, their luminal surface is coated with regularly arranged Microtubule Inner ...

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

Cells, 2022 Protozoa are eukaryotic, unicellular microorganisms that have an important ecological role, are easy to handle, and grow rapidly, which makes them suitable for ecotoxicity assessment. Previous methods for locomotion tracking in protozoa are largely based

Living unicellular eukaryote Tetrahymena pyriformis as a model for study of mitochondrial energetics in mammalian cells under conditions of reduced oxidative metabolism. [PDF]
, 2010 Some “animal-like” protozoa are used instead of mammalian cells in diverse investigations. _Tetrahymena pyriformis_ cells in stationary phase of growth and washed from oxidative substrates (_T.pyriformis_) function under conditions of ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Fatty acids of mitochondrial membranes from Tetrahymena pyriformis
Journal of Lipid Research, 1976 We have examined the fatty acid composition of the mitochondrial membranes in three strains of Tetrahymena pyriformis. All three had similar components and exhibited large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.

1+1 = 3: a fusion of 2 enzymes in the methionine salvage pathway of Tetrahymena thermophila creates a trifunctional enzyme that catalyzes 3 steps in the pathway. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 The methionine salvage pathway is responsible for regenerating methionine from its derivative, methylthioadenosine. The complete set of enzymes of the methionine pathway has been previously described in bacteria.

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.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.This study investigates the phytochemical composition and biological activities of a hydroalcoholic extract of Haloxylon articulatum. LC‐HRMS/MS identified diverse bioactive compounds, notably N‐caffeoyltyramine and sinapoyltyramine. The extract exhibited strong antioxidant activity and significant cytotoxic effects against gastric cancer cell lines ...

Ciliary propulsion of objects in tubes: wall drag on swimming Tetrahymena (Ciliata) in the presence of mucin and other long-chain polymers [PDF]
, 1976 The lubrication effect of three long-chain polymers - mucin, methylcellulose and Ficoll - on ciliary propulsion in tubes is measured by plotting the relative velocities of swimming cilitates as a function of the tube bore diameter.
