| Following docking, the plug is no longer observed, and the proximal end of the trichocyst completely occupies the docking site. |
|
| A trichocyst can be found in tetrahymena and along cila pathways of several metabolic systems. |
|
| There is a deposit along the sides of the first part of the trichocyst and in this region, the trichocysts membrane, is free of the membranous particle. |
|
| The discharge or nondischarge of the trichocyst was observed by adding a drop of saturated picric acid to the cells. |
|
| Didinium is a swimming, carnivorous protozoan that can perceive moving protozoans and aim a dart, a trichocyst, to kill or immobilize its mobile prey. |
|
| To validate this experiment, we took advantage of a large multigene family that encodes trichocyst cargo proteins. |
|
| Most plates are penetrated by trichocyst pores which may lie in pits. |
|
| Interestingly, alveolates have specialized exocytic pathways based on a membrane organelle lying beneath the plasma membrane, the trichocyst, where this unique ArfGEF family may potentially function. |
