Decoding ultrasensitive self-assembly of the calcium-regulated Tetrahymena cytoskeletal protein Tcb2 using optical actuation.

Nithesh P. Chandrasekharan, Xiangting Lei, Jerry E. Honts, M. Saad Bhamla, Scott M. Coyle

This study uses optical calcium release to investigate Tcb2 self-assembly in Tetrahymena, identifying D184 as the key calcium binding site for assembly.
