... associate with BBs and function in BB assembly, maturation and stability. Human POC5 (hPOC5) is a highly conserved centrin-binding protein that binds centrins through Sfi1p-like repeats and is required for building full-length, mature centrioles. Here, we use the BB-rich cytoskeleton of Tetrahymena...

... in the regulation of chromatin structure in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila . Jub6p forms sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-resistant aggregates when it is ectopically expressed in vegetative cells and binds to RNA in vitro . Jub6p is a heterochromatin component and is important for the formation...

... and genomic stability and relies on the correct establishment of the cell division axis, which is under the control of the cell's environment and its intrinsic polarity. The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila possesses a permanent anterior–posterior axis, left–right asymmetry and divides symmetrically...

...E. M. CROSSLEY; S. C. HYMAN; C. WELLS Summary Axonemal dynein from Tetrahymena cilia can be separated on a sucrose gradient into two fractions, at least one of which appears to be polymorphic. We have been using immuno-electron microscopy in order to try and locate the different types of dynein...
