Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Metallothioneins (MT) are multi-stress proteins mainly involved in metal detoxification. MT gene expression is normally induced by a broad variety of stimulus and its gene expression regulation mainly occurs at a transcriptional level.

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.

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.

Effects of gelsemine on oxidative stress and DNA damage responses of Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Gelsemine is an important toxic substance extracted from Gelsemium elegans, which has a lot of biological functions in cells and organisms, but its toxicity has been rarely reported in Tetrahymena thermophila.

Structural basis of template-boundary definition in Tetrahymena telomerase. [PDF]
, 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.

The zinc finger protein Zfr1p is localized specifically to conjugation junction and required for sexual development in Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Conjugation in Tetrahymena thermophila involves a developmental program consisting of three prezygotic nuclear divisions, pronuclear exchange and fusion, and postzygotic and exconjugant stages.

, 2018 Background: The chromatin remodelers of the SWI/SNF family are critical transcriptional regulators. Recognition of lysine acetylation through a bromodomain (BRD) component is key to SWI/SNF function; in most eukaryotes, this function is attributed to ...

The Co-regulation Data Harvester: Automating gene annotation starting from a transcriptome database
SoftwareX, 2017 Identifying co-regulated genes provides a useful approach for defining pathway-specific machinery in an organism. To be efficient, this approach relies on thorough genome annotation, a process much slower than genome sequencing per se.
