Good morning!! Cell biology rocks, isn't it?
New #ISEPpapers! Evolutionary origins of the lysosome-related organelle sorting machinery reveal ancient homology in post-endosome trafficking pathways: Kiran More et al. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2403…

Happy Monday again, #ScienceMastodon! The first Research Highlight from JCS Issue 16 features a paper from Toshiyuki Oda and colleagues at the Universities of Yamanashi and Tokyo, using the unicellular algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to break down roles of tubulin modifications in ciliary/flagellar motility. #CellBiology #microtubules #flagellates
Roles of ciliary tubulin PTMs in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The cytoskeletal core of cilia and flagella, called the axoneme, is composed of microtubules (MTs), the dynamics of which can be dramatically influenced by post-translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin C-terminal tails.The Company of Biologists
