DOI: 10.1002/pro.3418
Abstract: Centrin is a member of the EF‐hand superfamily of calcium‐binding proteins, a highly conserved eukaryotic protein that binds to Ca2+. Its self‐assembly plays a causative role in the fiber contraction that is associated with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeu.12850
Abstract: In the hypotrich ciliate Euplotes, many individual basal bodies are grouped together in tightly packed clusters, forming ventral polykinetids. These groups of basal bodies (which produce compound ciliary organelles such as cirri and oral membranelles)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeu.12945
Abstract: Our knowledge of ciliate endosymbiont diversity greatly expanded over the past decades due to the development of characterization methods for uncultivable bacteria. Chlamydia‐like bacteria have been described as symbionts of free‐living amoebae and other phylogenetically… read more here.
