The paper shows that CDK7, CDK9, and CDK12 phosphorylate SPT5, with CDK9 having the strongest effect on SPT5 phosphorylation and PAF1C interaction.

The paper identifies a stress-induced process called motile ciliophagy in Tetrahymena thermophila, where cilia are internalized and degraded to recycle axonemal components for regeneration.

The paper investigates how DNAAF9 and ARL3 regulate the transport and activation of ciliary outer dynein arms by displacing Shulin from the ODA complex.

The paper identifies two factors, Q22YU3 and Q22MS1, that package axonemal outer dynein arms for ciliary targeting in Tetrahymena.
