New #ISEPpaper! On the possibility of yet a third #kinetochore system in the protist phylum Euglenozoa https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/mbio.02936-24 by Corinna Benz et al.

"While #kinetoplastids have an unconventional kinetochore system and #euglenids have a canonical one similar to traditional model #eukaryotes, preliminary searches detected neither unconventional nor canonical kinetochore components in #diplonemids."

New #ISEPpapers! Diplonemid #protists possess exotic endomembrane machinery, impacting models of membrane trafficking in modern and ancient eukaryotes https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960982225001952 by Kristína Záhonová et al., @DacksLabECB

"Heterotrophic protists possess machinery sporadically present in model organisms... LECA likely was a homogenous population with complex cell biology... General cell biological frameworks should integrate data from diverse eukaryotes"
