Purine-metabolizing enzymes of Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Except for the recent report of Friedkin on pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (2) and several papers from this laboratory dealing with ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease (3, 4), little information is available concerning the occurrence of nucleolytic and nucleosynthetic enzymes in the ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena pyrif0rmis.l This is in contrast to a number of studies carried out on the pu...
متن کاملRibosome Synthesis in Tetrahymena Pyriformis
The cellular site of synthesis of ribosomal RNA in Tetrahymena pyriformis was studied by analyzing the purified nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA from cells pulse labeled with uridine-(3)H. The results of studies using zonal centrifugation in sucrose density gradients show that the ribosomal RNA is synthesized in the nucleus as a large precursor molecule sedimenting at 35S. The 35S molecule undergoes...
متن کاملStudies of Membrane Formation in Tetrahymena Pyriformis
A method has been devised to fractionate cells of Tetrahymena pyriformis, yielding pure or highly enriched preparations of cilia, cilia-associated soluble material, pellicles, mitochondria, microsomes, and postmicrosomal supernatant. The method prevents the destructive action of lipolytic enzymes commonly associated with this organism. Analysis of the membrane lipids of these fractions reveals ...
متن کاملReactivation of Glycerinated Cilia from Tetrahymena Pyriformis
The ease with which Tetrahymena can be grown in relatively large quantity makes it an exceptionally useful source of cilia for biochemical study. Several methods of isolating the cilia have been described (3, 11). Although excellent for many purposes, these procedures all suffer from the limitation that the isolated cilia seem incapable of being reactivated by ATP. This paper describes a method...
متن کاملMicrotubules from the Cilia of Tetrahymena Pyriformis
Frayed cilia from Tetrahymena pyriformis have been examined in the electron microscope using both uranyl acetate and phosphotungstic acid as negative stains. Observations on the central microtubules show that one member of the pair exhibits two rows of short projections. These are about 18 nm long, and are spaced longitudinally at 16-nm intervals. In many specimens the projections are separated...
