1.
An expanded phylogenomic analysis of Heterolobosea reveals the deep relationships, non-canonical genetic codes, and cryptic flagellate stages in the group
Panek T, Tice A, Corre P, Hruba P, Zihala D, Kamikawa R, et al.
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2025 Jan; 204:108289. PMID: 39826589
The phylum Heterolobosea Page and Blanton, 1985 is a group of eukaryotes that contains heterotrophic flagellates, amoebae, and amoeboflagellates, including the infamous brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri. In this study, we...

The Mastigamoeba balamuthi Genome and the Nature of the Free-Living Ancestor of Entamoeba
Zarsky V, Klimes V, Paces J, Vlcek C, Hradilova M, Benes V, et al.
Mol Biol Evol . 2021 Feb; 38(6):2240-2259. PMID: 33528570
The transition of free-living organisms to parasitic organisms is a mysterious process that occurs in all major eukaryotic lineages. Parasites display seemingly unique features associated with their pathogenicity; however, it...

A Single Tim Translocase in the Mitosomes of Giardia intestinalis Illustrates Convergence of Protein Import Machines in Anaerobic Eukaryotes
Pyrihova E, Motyckova A, Voleman L, Wandyszewska N, Fiser R, Seydlova G, et al.
Genome Biol Evol . 2018 Sep; 10(10):2813-2822. PMID: 30265292
Mitochondria have evolved diverse forms across eukaryotic diversity in adaptation to anoxia. Mitosomes are the simplest and the least well-studied type of anaerobic mitochondria. Transport of proteins via TIM complexes,...

Minimal cytosolic iron-sulfur cluster assembly machinery of Giardia intestinalis is partially associated with mitosomes
Pyrih J, Pyrihova E, Kolisko M, Stojanovova D, Basu S, Harant K, et al.
Mol Microbiol . 2016 Sep; 102(4):701-714. PMID: 27582265
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are essential cofactors that enable proteins to transport electrons, sense signals, or catalyze chemical reactions. The maturation of dozens of Fe-S proteins in various compartments of every...

The interface of protein structure, protein biophysics, and molecular evolution
Liberles D, Teichmann S, Bahar I, Bastolla U, Bloom J, Bornberg-Bauer E, et al.
Protein Sci . 2012 Apr; 21(6):769-85. PMID: 22528593
Abstract The interface of protein structural biology, protein biophysics, molecular evolution, and molecular population genetics forms the foundations for a mechanistic understanding of many aspects of protein biochemistry. Current efforts...

Complete local elimination of infectious trachoma from severely affected communities after six biannual mass azithromycin distributions
Biebesheimer J, House J, Hong K, Lakew T, Alemayehu W, Zhou Z, et al.
Ophthalmology . 2009 Sep; 116(11):2047-50. PMID: 19744717
Objective: To determine whether infectious trachoma can be completely eliminated from severely affected villages. Design: Cross-sectional survey of 2 villages previously enrolled and monitored over 42 months as part of...

Phylogenetic artifacts can be caused by leucine, serine, and arginine codon usage heterogeneity: dinoflagellate plastid origins as a case study
Inagaki Y, Simpson A, Dacks J, Roger A
Syst Biol . 2004 Sep; 53(4):582-93. PMID: 15371248
Phylogenetic analyses of first and second codon positions (DNA1 + 2 analysis) and amino acid sequences (protein analysis) are often thought to provide similar estimates of deep-level phylogeny. However, here...
