We explored how the number of structures is determined in an intracellular organelle series. In Tetrahymena, oral apparatus contains three diagonal ciliary rows: M1, M2, and M3. During development, M rows emerge by sequential segmentation a group basal bodies, starting with longest most anterior M1 ending shortest posterior The mpD-1 mpH-1 alleles increase decrease rows, respectively. identify MpH as TPR protein MpD importin-9. Both proteins localize to form concentration gradients. row...

Several neurodegenerative diseases are caused by expansion of polyglutamine repeats in the affected proteins. In spino‐cerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), histidine interruptions have been reported to mitigate pathological effects long glutamine stretches. To understand this phenomenon, we investigated conformational preferences peptides containing both uninterrupted stretches and those with interruption(s) as seen SCA1 normals. Our study suggests that substitution histidines glutamines induces...

Abstract Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are light-gated ion channels extensively applied as optogenetics tools for manipulating neuronal activity. All currently known ChRs comprise a large cytoplasmic domain, whose function is elusive. Here, we report the cation channel properties of KnChR, one photoreceptors from filamentous terrestrial alga Klebsormidium nitens , and demonstrate that domain KnChR modulates properties. constituted 7-transmembrane forming pore, followed by C-terminus moiety...

Rhodopsins have been extensively employed for optogenetic regulation of bioelectrical activity excitable cells and other cellular processes across biological systems. Various strategies adopted to attune the at desired subcellular compartment (plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, mitochondria, lysosome) within cell. These include- adding signal sequences, tethering peptides, specific interaction sites, or mRNA elements different sites in proteins plasma membrane integration...

Phototropin (Phot), a blue light‐sensing LOV domain protein, mediates light responses and is evolutionarily conserved across the green lineage. Klebsormidium nitens , terrestrial alga, presents valuable opportunity to study adaptive from aquatic land habitat transitions. We determined crystal structure of Phot LOV1 (KnLOV1) in dark engineered different mutations (R60K, Q122N, D33N) modulate lifetime photorecovery cycle. observed unusual, slow recovery kinetics wild‐type KnLOV1 (τ = 41 ± 3...

Abstract Phototropin, a blue-light sensing serine/threonine kinase, plays pivotal role in regulating diverse photophysiological processes both plants and algae. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii , phototropin (CrPhot) localizes to the eyespot flagella, coordinating key cellular functions such as phototaxis, photosynthesis, gametogenesis, chlorophyll biosynthesis. While previous research has identified interactions with signaling proteins channelrhodopsins light-harvesting complex proteins, many...

Abstract Phototropin (Phot), a blue light sensing LOV domain protein, mediates responses and is evolutionary conserved across the green lineage. Klebsormidium nitens, terrestrial alga, presents valuable opportunity in studying adaptive from aquatic to land habitat transitions. We determined crystal structure of nitens Phot LOV1 (KnLOV1) dark engineered different mutations (R60K, Q122N, D33N) modulate lifetime photo recovery cycle. observed an unusual slow native KnLOV1 (τ = 2467 seconds)...
