Project description:To study the role of chromatin remodeler during programmed genome reorganization in Paramecium tetraurelia. Paramecium ISWI1 was tagged with 3 FLAG and HA at its C-terminal. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into Paramecium and used for co-immunoprecipitation and Mass spectrometry studies to identify novel interacting partners of Paramecium ISWI1 protein that modulates the elimination of transposable elements.
