An exception or the rule? This work represents a second observation, and the first crystallographic evidence, of true intercalation of a small‐molecule ligand (here, bisquinolinium PyDH2) into an antiparallel G‐quadruplex (G4) DNA fold. Abstract G‐quadruplexes (G4s) are non‐canonical DNA structures implicated in a number of biological processes.

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

Evolution of the mating type gene pair and multiple sexes in Tetrahymena
Summary: The multiple mating type system of the Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a self/non-self recognition system, whose specificity resides in a head-to-head, functionally distinct pair of genes, MTA and MTB. We have now sequenced and analyzed these

An engineered Tetrahymena tRNA(Gln) for in vivo incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins by nonsense suppression [PDF]
A new tRNA, THG73, has been designed and evaluated as a vehicle for incorporating unnatural amino acids site-specifically into proteins expressed in vivo using the stop codon suppression technique.

Genome-wide prediction of the polymorphic Ser gene family in Tetrahymena thermophila based on motif analysis. [PDF]
Even though antigenic variation is employed among parasitic protozoa for host immune evasion, Tetrahymena thermophila, a free-living ciliate, can also change its surface protein antigens.

Cell stress by phosphate of two protozoa tetrahymena thermophila and tetrahymena pyriformis [PDF]
Phosphorus is one of the bioelements most needed as a compound cell by living organisms. Phosphorus is involved in several pathologies: in human with bone and kidney diseases, in mammals with metabolism disorder (glucose, insulin···), in microorganisms ...

Gene network landscape of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
Genome-wide expression data of gene microarrays can be used to infer gene networks. At a cellular level, a gene network provides a picture of the modules in which genes are densely connected, and of the hub genes, which are highly connected with other ...

Macronuclear DNA molecules of Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
The physical organization of the DNA in the macronuclei of Tetrahymena thermophila was investigated by using alternating-orthogonal-field gel electrophoresis. The genome consisted of a spectrum of molecules with lengths ranging from less than 100 to in excess of 1,500 kilobase pairs.

ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...

RACS: Rapid Analysis of ChIP-Seq data for contig based genomes
Background: Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to next generation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is a widely used technique to investigate the function of chromatin-related proteins in a genome-wide manner. ChIP-Seq generates large quantities of data which can
