Naegleria's mitotic spindles are built from unique tubulins and highlight core spindle features

K. B. Velle, M. Trupinic, A. Ivec, A. Swafford, E. Nolton, L. Rice, I. M. Tolic, L. K. Fritz-Laylin, P. Wadsworth

The paper identifies unique mitotic tubulins in Naegleria amoebae and characterizes their spindle structure, suggesting ancestral features of mitosis.

Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin assembly drives microtubule-independent motility and phagocytosis in the evolutionarily divergent amoeba Naegleria

K. B. Velle, L. K. Fritz-Laylin

This study shows Naegleria amoebae use Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin assembly for motility and phagocytosis without microtubules, supporting an ancient origin of these processes.
