Flagellar regeneration in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: evidence that cycloheximide pulses induce a delay in morphogenesis.
The behaviour of a pool of flagellar precursors, assayed by the ability of cells to regenerate flagella in the absence of de novo protein synthesis, has been examined during organelle morphogenesis in the biflagellate alga Chlamydomonas. The results demonstrate that flagellar elongation can continue even when this pool is apparently empty and suggest that 2 sources of precursors are available t...
متن کاملFlagellar root contraction and nuclear movement during flagellar regeneration in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
When Chlamydomonas cells are deflagellated by pH shock or mechanical shear the nucleus rapidly moves toward the flagellar basal apparatus at the anterior end of the cell. During flagellar regeneration the nucleus returns to a more central position within the cell. The nucleus is connected to the flagellar apparatus by a system of fibers, the flagellar roots (rhizoplasts), which undergo a dramat...
متن کاملOn the localization of voltage-sensitive calcium channels in the flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
This study was undertaken to prove that voltage-sensitive calcium channels controlling the photophobic stop response of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are exclusively found in the flagellar region of the cell and to answer the question as to their exact localization within the flagellar membrane. The strategy used was to amputate flagella to a variable degree without pertu...
متن کاملFlagellar Elongation and Shortening in Chlamydomonas
Flagella can be removed from the biflagellate Chlamydomonas and the cells begin to regenerate flagella almost immediately by deceleratory kinetics. Under usual conditions of deflagellation, more than 98% of all flagella are removed. Under less drastic conditions, cells can be selected in which one flagellum is removed and the other left intact. When only one of the two flagella is amputated, th...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of nuclear and flagellar basal apparatus proteins during flagellar regeneration in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
The antiphosphoprotein monoclonal antibody MPM-2 was used to investigate protein phosphorylation during flagellar regeneration in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. MPM-2 recognizes a phosphorylated epitope and detects several Chlamydomonas proteins by Western immunoblot analysis. Two MPM-2 reactive proteins (34 and 90 kD) increase in Western immunoblot intensity after flagellar excision and decrease i...
