Tubulin Monoglutamylation is Sufficient to Rescue the Ciliary Motility Defects in a Chlamydomonas Polyglutamylation Deficient Mutant

The paper shows that short-chain tubulin glutamylation, regulated by CCP5, can restore ciliary motility in a long-chain polyglutamylation-deficient mutant.

Tubulin Acetylation Deficiency Promotes Axonemal Turnover and Increases Cytoplasmic Microtubules

The paper shows that tubulin acetylation deficiency increases axonemal turnover and cytoplasmic microtubule dynamics without affecting flagellar length or cell growth.

Dotplotic visualizes BLAST+ alignments and genomic annotations using a lightweight Perl script, enabling flexible and portable sequence comparison analysis.

Cryo-EM of PMEL Amyloids Reveals Pathogenic Mechanism of Pigment Dispersion Syndrome

The paper determines the structure of PMEL amyloids using cryo-EM and shows how the G175S mutation increases amyloid formation, contributing to pigment dispersion syndrome.

SLC-25A46 Regulates Mitochondrial Fusion through FZO-1/Mitofusin and is Essential for Maintaining Neuronal Morphology

This study identifies SLC-25A46 as a regulator of mitochondrial fusion through FZO-1/Mitofusin and shows its role in maintaining neuronal morphology.
