Cryo-electron tomography sheds light on the largest protein in the Trypanosoma brucei tripartite attachment complex

This study uses cryo-electron tomography to analyze the tripartite attachment complex in Trypanosoma brucei, revealing the structural dynamics of the complex during kDNA segregation.

Cryo-EM structure of the octameric pore of Clostridium perfringens β-toxin

This paper presents the cryo-EM structure of the octameric pore of Clostridium perfringens β-toxin, revealing its unique architecture and potential applications in nanotechnology.

Hijacking of the host cell Golgi by Plasmodium liver stage parasites

This study shows Plasmodium liver stages manipulate host cell Golgi structure to support their development.

Characterization of two novel proteins involved in mitochondrial DNA anchoring

This study identifies two novel proteins involved in mitochondrial DNA anchoring in Trypanosoma brucei by combining proteomics and RNAi, showing their localization and essential role in kDNA stability.

Cryptosporulation in Kurthia spp. forces a rethinking of asporogenesis in Firmicutes

The paper demonstrates endosporulation in the genus Kurthia, previously considered asporogenic, and proposes a revised understanding of sporulation in Firmicutes.

Spatial intra- and intercellular alignment of respiratory cilia and its relation to function

The paper analyzes ciliary orientation in tracheal cells using electron microscopy, revealing that basal body orientation aligns with the tracheal axis while axonemal orientation dictates mucociliary transport direction.

A molecular model of the mitochondrial genome segregation machinery in Trypanosoma brucei

The paper uses super-resolution microscopy and biochemical analysis to show the hierarchical assembly of the TAC in Trypanosoma brucei, independent of the mitochondrial genome.
