Euglenozoa is a species-rich group of protists, which have extremely diverse lifestyles and a
range of features that distinguish them from other eukaryotes. They are composed of free …

Genetic variation is the major mechanism behind adaptation and evolutionary change. As
most proteins operate through interactions with other proteins, changes in protein complex …

The segregation of chromosomes depends on the centromere. Most species are
monocentric, with the centromere restricted to a single region per chromosome. In some …

AlphaFold2 and RoseTTAfold represent a transformative advance for predicting protein
structure. They are able to make very high-quality predictions given a high-quality alignment …

Background Diplonemid flagellates are among the most abundant and species-rich of
known marine microeukaryotes, colonizing all habitats, depths, and geographic regions of …

The notion that mitochondria cannot be lost was shattered with the report of an oxymonad
Monocercomonoides exilis, the first eukaryote arguably without any mitochondrion. Yet …

Diplonemids are a group of flagellate protists, that belong to the phylum Euglenozoa
alongside euglenids, symbiontids and kinetoplastids. They primarily inhabit marine …

Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a glycolytic enzyme that is well conserved among the
three domains of life. PGK is usually a monomeric enzyme of about 45 kDa that catalyses …

Abstract Background The phylum Euglenozoa is a group of flagellated protists comprising
the diplonemids, euglenids, symbiontids, and kinetoplastids. The diplonemids are highly …

The assembly of a functional kinetochore on centromeric chromatin is necessary to connect
chromosomes to the mitotic spindle, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. This …
