Diurnal regulation of flagellar length and swimming speed in the red-tide raphidophyte Chattonella marina

Yusaku Fujita, Azusa Kage, Takayuki Nishizaka

This study shows that Chattonella marina adjusts its flagellar length and beat frequency during day and night, affecting swimming speed, likely as an energy-saving strategy linked to diurnal vertical migration.

Dynein-2 is tuned for the A-tubule of the ciliary doublet through tubulin tyrosination

Haoqiang K He, Shintaroh Kubo, Xuwei Chen…·Muneyoshi Ichikawa

This study identifies a tyrosination-dependent mechanism that enables dynein-2 to specifically bind the A-tubule of ciliary doublet microtubules, facilitating retrograde IFT.
