A centrin-Sfi1 myoneme fishnet powers ultrafast calcium-triggered contraction in the giant ciliate Spirostomum ambiguum

Joseph Lannan, Carlos Floyd, L. X. Xu…·Mary Williard Elting

This paper investigates ultrafast contraction in Spirostomum using myonemes, showing centrin-Sfi1 structures drive calcium-triggered contraction without actomyosin or ATP.
