High salt tolerance but no local adaption to road salts in Tetrahymena ciliates #micropublication #biology #data #caltechlibrary #Tetrahymena #EcologyAndEvolution #NewFinding micropublication.org/journals/biology/micropu...
Student: Are we going to do more labs like this? Because this was a lot of fun!
#cellbiology teaching win! My heart swells when students love a classic #tetrahymena feeding lab.

Here you can see a cryoEM structure of the Tetrahymena ribozyme (PDB code: 9CBX)

From our June Issue: rupress.org/jcb/issue/22...
🔬 A superresolution (Nikon NSPARC) image of a #Tetrahymena thermophila cell labeled with anti-centrin antibodies (green) and expressing MpH/importin-9-TurboID protein (detected with streptavidin-Cy-3). (Deraniyagala et al. rupress.org/jcb/article/...)
Importin-9 and a TPR domain protein MpH drive periodic patterning of ciliary arrays in #Tetrahymena, say Anushi Suwaneththiya Deraniyagala, Wolfgang Maier, Jacek Gaertig @universityofga.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
#Cilia #Development
Deraniyagala, Maier, Gaertig et al. @universityofga.bsky.social explore the poorly understood mechanism of “intracellular counting” using the developing oral apparatus of the ciliate #Tetrahymena as a model. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
#Cilia #Development
As we now know, #cilia beating requires the distributed action of #dynein motors along the filament...
Amazingly, a mathematician predicted this doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... (1958) in @jexpbiol.bsky.social before the discovery of dynein! (A few years later Gibbons found it in the protist #tetrahymena)

Spending this afternoon at my first meeting as a member of the @CIHR_IG Institute Advisory Board. Our conversation about #RDMM () has me reflecting on the amazing experience I had using #CRISPR on #Tetrahymena in Dr. Ron Pearlman's @YorkUScience lab.
