BMC Cell Biol 2:4. 2001..Delta-tubulin homologs have been identified in the genomes of mammals and protozoa, but their phylogenetic relationships are unclear and their function is not yet known...
Basal body-associated nucleation center for the centrin-based cortical cytoskeletal network in ParameciumJ Beisson
Centre de Génétique Moléculaire du CNRS, Gif sur Yvette, France
Protist 152:339-54. 2001..Finally, slight ultrastuctural differences between reassembled and control lattices suggest that the organization of the filament bundles is partly templated by that of the preexisting ones...

Curr Opin Cell Biol 15:96-104. 2003..Identification of further components of basal bodies and centrioles might help to unravel the two assembly pathways and their regulation...
Preformed cell structure and cell heredityJanine Beisson
Centre de Genetique Moleculaire, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Gif sur Yvette, France
Prion 2:1-8. 2008..parameter in cell heredity, and (2) how are these phenomena (which all rely on protein/protein interactions, and imply a formatting role of preexisting proteinic complexes on neo-formed proteins and their assembly) related to prions?..
Functional diversification of centrins and cell morphological complexityDelphine Gogendeau
CNRS, Centre de Genetique Moleculaire, UPR 2167, Gif sur Yvette, F 91198, France
J Cell Sci 121:65-74. 2008..The tenth and most conserved centrin subfamily is present at three cortical locations (ICL, basal bodies and contractile vacuole pores) and might play a role in coordinating duplication and positioning of cortical organelles...
Centrin deficiency in Paramecium affects the geometry of basal-body duplicationFrançoise Ruiz
Centre de Genetique Moleculaire, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, 91190 Gif sur Yvette, France
Curr Biol 15:2097-106. 2005..We have investigated centrin function in Paramecium, whose cortical organization allows detection of any spatial or temporal alteration in the pattern of basal-body duplication...
DNA microinjection into the macronucleus of parameciumJanine Beisson

CSH Protoc 2010:pdb.prot5363. 2010..Silencing induced in this manner is only post-transcriptional; when cells are transferred back to normal medium bacterized with Klebsiella pneumoniae, the phenotype usually reverts to wild type within a few cell divisions...
Mass Culture of Paramecium tetraureliaJanine Beisson
, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, FRE3144, F 91198 Gif sur Yvette, France

Gamma-tubulin and MTOCs in ParameciumCatherine Klotz
Centre de Génétique Moléculaire du CNRS, 91190 Gif sur Yvette, France
Protist 154:193-209. 2003..The sites and mode of nucleation of the microtubule bundles formed in the macronuclear compartment during division remain unclear. These observations lead us to discuss the relationships between microtubules, gamma-tubulin and MTOCs...

Global trends of whole-genome duplications revealed by the ciliate Paramecium tetraureliaJean-Marc Aury
Genoscope and CNRS UMR 8030, , 91057 Evry, France
Nature 444:171-8. 2006..The conclusion of this analysis is that many genes are maintained after whole-genome duplication not because of functional innovation but because of gene dosage constraints...
