Abstract
The predicted global warming of surface waters can be challenging to aquatic ectotherms like freshwater mussels. Especially animals in northern temperate latitudes may face and physiologically acclimate to significant stress from seasonal temperature fluctuations. Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme is one of the key mechanisms that allow mussels to cope with changing water temperatures. This enzyme plays a major role in osmoregulation, energy control, ion balance, metabolite transport and electrical excitability. Here, we experimentally studied the effects of temperature on Na+/K+-ATPase activity of gills in two freshwater mussel species, Anodonta anatina and Unio tumidus. The study animals were acclimated to three ambient temperatures (+4, +14, +24 °C) and Na+/K+-ATPase activity was measured at those temperatures for each acclimation group. Both species had their highest gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity at the highest acclimation temperature. Na+/K+-ATPase activity of gills exhibited species-specific differences, and was higher in A. anatina than U. tumidus in all test groups at all test temperatures. Temperature dependence of Na+/K+-ATPase was confirmed in both species, being highest at temperatures between +4 and + 14 °C when Q10 values in the acclimation groups varied between 5.06 and 6.71. Our results underline the importance of Na+/K+-ATPase of gills for the freshwater mussels in warming waters. Because Na+/K+-ATPase is the driving force behind ciliary motion, our results also suggest that in warming waters A. anatina may be more tolerant at sustaining vigorous ciliary action (associated with elevated respiration rates and filter-feeding) than U. tumidus. Overall, our results indicate great flexibility of the mussel's ecophysiological characteristics as response to changing conditions.

Abstract
The movement of ciliary membrane proteins is directed by transient interactions with intraflagellar transport (IFT) trains. The green alga Chlamydomonas has adapted this process for gliding motility, using retrograde IFT motors to move adhesive glycoproteins in the flagella membrane. Ca2+ signalling contributes directly to the gliding process, although uncertainty remains over the mechanism through which it acts. Here, we show that flagella Ca2+ elevations initiate the movement of paused retrograde IFT trains, which accumulate at the distal end of adherent flagella, but do not influence other IFT processes. On highly adherent surfaces, flagella exhibit high-frequency Ca2+ elevations that prevent the accumulation of paused retrograde IFT trains. Flagella Ca2+ elevations disrupt the IFT-dependent movement of microspheres along the flagella membrane, suggesting that Ca2+ acts by directly disrupting an interaction between retrograde IFT trains and flagella membrane glycoproteins. By regulating the extent to which glycoproteins on the flagella surface interact with IFT motor proteins on the axoneme, this signalling mechanism allows precise control of traction force and gliding motility in adherent flagella.

Abstract
The respiratory tract is lined with multiciliated epithelial cells that function to move mucus and trapped particles via the mucociliary transport apparatus. Genetic and acquired ciliopathies result in diminished mucociliary clearance, contributing to disease pathogenesis. Recent innovations in imaging technology have advanced our understanding of ciliary motion in health and disease states. Application of imaging modalities including transmission electron microscopy, high-speed video microscopy, and micron-optical coherence tomography could improve diagnostics and be applied for precision medicine. In this review, we provide an overview of ciliary motion, imaging modalities, and ciliopathic diseases of the respiratory system including primary ciliary dyskinesia, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Second messengers, such as calcium, regulate the activity of multisite binding proteins in a concentration-dependent manner. For example, calcium binding has been shown to induce conformational transitions in the calcium-dependent protein calmodulin, under steady state conditions. However, intracellular concentrations of these second messengers are often subject to rapid change. The mechanisms underlying dynamic ligand-dependent regulation of multisite proteins require further elucidation. RESULTS In this study, a computational analysis of multisite protein kinetics in response to rapid changes in ligand concentrations is presented. Two major physiological scenarios are investigated: i) Ligand concentration is abundant and the ligand-multisite protein binding does not affect free ligand concentration, ii) Ligand concentration is of the same order of magnitude as the interacting multisite protein concentration and does not change. Therefore, buffering effects significantly influence the amounts of free ligands. For each of these scenarios the influence of the number of binding sites, the temporal effects on intermediate apo- and fully saturated conformations and the multisite regulatory effects on target proteins are investigated. CONCLUSIONS The developed models allow for a novel and accurate interpretation of concentration and pressure jump-dependent kinetic experiments. The presented model makes predictions for the temporal distribution of multisite protein conformations in complex with variable numbers of ligands. Furthermore, it derives the characteristic time and the dynamics for the kinetic responses elicited by a ligand concentration change as a function of ligand concentration and the number of ligand binding sites. Effector proteins regulated by multisite ligand binding are shown to depend on ligand concentration in a highly nonlinear fashion.

Abstract
Recent studies of the primary cilium have begun to provide further insights into ciliary ultrastructure, with an emerging picture of complex compartmentalization and molecular components that combine in functional modules. Many proteins that are mutated in ciliopathies are localized to the transition zone, a compartment of the proximal region of the cilium. The loss of these components can disrupt ciliary functions such as the control of protein entry and exit from the cilium, the possible trafficking of essential ciliary components, and the regulation of signaling cascades and control of the cell cycle. The discovery of functional modules within the primary cilium may help in understanding the variable phenotypes and pleiotropy in ciliopathies.
