The symbiont-harboring trypanosomatid Angomonas deanei is Parasite of the Month. 🙂 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
Short graphical abstract summarizing key facts about Angomonas: its habitat in the digestive tract of insects; the cellular organization of the flagellate containing a single cytoplasmic endsymbiont with associated glycosomes; synchronized cell cycles of host and endosymbiont; the discovery of endosymbiont-targeted host proteins (ETPs) by mass spectrometry; differential subcellular localization of the ETPs; and the endosymbiont division machinery of dual genetic origin.

On this day in 2021, I landed in a snowy, lockdown-silenced Heidelberg to start my lab. 5 years later we are a force to reckon with in our field, and the first generation are striking out on their own. I couldn’t be more proud, & grateful to them and our wonderful collaborators around the world 🌍 🧪

If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back. I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

In Angomonas, the host and endosymbiont divide in sync. We discovered that ETP2 helps recruit the dynamin-like protein ETP9 to the symbiont division site, revealing a new piece of the host-encoded machinery controlling endosymbiont division. Beautiful artwork by @anaymaurya.bsky.social 2/2

Seconded! And if you can't review please suggest alternates. Early career folks are always welcome and lots of journals make it easy to co-review with a trainee. If you're new and want reviewing opportunities make sure your Google Scholar, Scopus and ORCID etc are up to date so we can find you!

Out today: Exciting intermediate between endosymbiont and organelle identified! Endosymbionts in Angomonas deanei lost nearly all bacterial cell division genes. Instead, we identified a host-encoded protein, ETP9, that became specialized for endosymbiont division. 1/2 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Angomonas deanei with flourescent-labeled nucleus and endosymbiont. ETP9 localizes at the endosymbiont division site.
