Dynein Heavy Chain, Encoded by Two Genes in Agaricomycetes, Is Required for Nuclear Migration in Schizophyllum commune
The white-rot fungus Schizophyllum commune (Agaricomycetes) was used to study the cell biology of microtubular trafficking during mating interactions, when the two partners exchange nuclei, which are transported along microtubule tracks. For this transport activity, the motor protein dynein is required. In S. commune, the dynein heavy chain is encoded in two parts by two separate genes, dhc1 an...
متن کاملThe “8-kD” Cytoplasmic Dynein Light Chain Is Required for Nuclear Migration and for Dynein Heavy Chain Localization in Aspergillus nidulans
The heavy chain of cytoplasmic dynein is required for nuclear migration in Aspergillus nidulans and other fungi. Here we report on a new gene required for nuclear migration, nudG, which encodes a homologue of the "8-kD" cytoplasmic dynein light chain (CDLC). We demonstrate that the temperature sensitive nudG8 mutation inhibits nuclear migration and growth at restrictive temperature. This mutati...
متن کاملSomatic recombination in Schizophyllum commune.
A CONSIDERABLE effort has been put forth in the past few years to elucidate the mechanisms of internuclear genetic exchange in vegetative mycelia in the fungi (PONTECORVO 1956; RAPER 1959; DAY 1960a). PONTECORVO (1956) described a system whereby, following the formation of a heterokaryon and a diploid nucleus, the phenomenon of crossing-over was a process distinct from that of haploidization. C...
متن کاملCytoplasmic dynein heavy chain 1b is required for flagellar assembly in Chlamydomonas.
A second cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain (cDhc) has recently been identified in several organisms, and its expression pattern is consistent with a possible role in axoneme assembly. We have used a genetic approach to ask whether cDhc1b is involved in flagellar assembly in Chlamydomonas. Using a modified PCR protocol, we recovered two cDhc sequences distinct from the axonemal Dhc sequences identi...
متن کاملCytoplasmic Dynein Is Required for the Nuclear Attachment and Migration of Centrosomes during Mitosis in Drosophila
Cytoplasmic dynein is a multisubunit minus-end-directed microtubule motor that serves multiple cellular functions. Genetic studies in Drosophila and mouse have demonstrated that dynein function is essential in metazoan organisms. However, whether the essential function of dynein reflects a mitotic requirement, and what specific mitotic tasks require dynein remains controversial. Drosophila is a...
