Discovery of novel membrane-associated calpains in Euglena gracilis: molecular insights into proteolysis in an ecologically important protist

The study expands current knowledge of calpain diversity in unicellular eukaryotes, particularly in an environmentally relevant microalga, and identifies and characterised novel transmembrane calpains and their genes at the protein, transcript and genomic levels in the E. gracilis transcriptome and genome.
