Defensive extrusive ectosymbionts of Euplotidium (Ciliophora) that contain microtubule-like structures are bacteria related to Verrucomicrobia.
Epixenosomes, ectosymbionts on hypotrich ciliates (genus Euplotidium) defend their host against the ciliate predator Litonotus lamella. Although here only Euplotidium itoi and Euplotidium arenarium from tide pools along a rocky shore near Leghorn (Ligurian sea) were studied in detail, these epibionts are certainly present on specimens of E. itoi and on other Euplotidium species in similar north...
متن کاملDendrites of mammalian neurons contain specialized P-body-like structures that respond to neuronal activation.
Intracellular mRNA transport and local translation play a key role in neuronal physiology. Translationally repressed mRNAs are transported as a part of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles to distant dendritic sites, but the properties of different RNP particles and mechanisms of their repression and transport remain largely unknown. Here, we describe a new class of RNP-particles, the dendritic P-...
متن کاملCiliary microtubule capping structures contain a mammalian kinetochore antigen
Structures that cap the plus ends of microtubules may be involved in the regulation of their assembly and disassembly. Growing and disassembling microtubules in the mitotic apparatus are capped by kinetochores and ciliary and flagellar microtubules are capped by the central microtubule cap and distal filaments. To compare the ciliary caps with kinetochores, isolated Tetrahymena cilia were stain...
متن کاملDefensive Approaches to Testing Systems that Contain COTS and Third-Party Functionality
Most systems today are composed of hardware components, COTS software, and custom software. When a system fails, a confusing and complex liability problem ensues for all parties that have contributed software and hardware functionality to the composite system. This paper presents a consumer-oriented methodology for predicting what impact on system quality a particular Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (...
متن کاملO-20: Slow-Freezing-Induced Changes of Birefringent Structures in Human Oocytes Are Related to Responsiveness to Ovulation Induction
Background: The slow-freezing method is one of the most popular techniques to freeze human oocytes and it is also used in routine in vitro-fertilization (IVF) programs, particularly in those countries where embryo freezing is not allowed. Slow-freezing damages some of the structures of the egg, among which the meiotic spindle (MS) and the zona pellucida (ZP). Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) pe...
