Mating Type Inheritance in Syngen 7 of TETRAHYMENA PYRIFORMIS : Intra- and Interallelic Interactions.
ATING type inheritance in a cililate follows one of two basic patterns (SONNEBORN 1947; BEALE 1954; KIMBALL 1964; NANNEY 1968). In ciliates with genic inheritance mating types are controlled directly by one or more genes. In ciliates with epigenetic inheritance an array of mating type potentialities is controlled by nuclear genes, but which mating type is actually expressed by a given cell is d...
متن کاملIdentification of a possible stem-cell-maintenance gene homologue in the unicelluler eukaryote Paramecium caudatum
In macronuclear DNA of the ciliated protozoan Paramecium caudatum, we identified a gene homologous to aubergine/piwi in Drosophila and ZWILLE in Arabidopsis, which have recently been shown to regulate the maintenance of stem cell in animals and plants. The DNA sequence was considered to be actually transcribed because it was also obtained from cDNA of vegetative phase cells by RACE-PCR. The gen...
متن کاملRestoration of membrane excitability in a behavioral mutant of Paramecium caudatum during conjugation and by microinjection of wild- type cytoplasm
When cells of the behavioral mutant cnrC of Paramecium caudatum were mated with the wild type, phenotype change from CNR (no backward swinning) to wild type in the cnrC mate occurred immediately after the formation of tight pairs. No change of phenotype occurred when cells of cnrA or cnrB were mated with wild type. Phenotypic change from CNR to wild type in cells of cnrC was also induced by mic...
متن کاملRole of the cytoplasmic and the intranuclear microtubules on the behavior of pronuclei during conjugation in Paramecium caudatum
Fertilization process of Paramecium caudatum includes a reciprocal exchange of migratory pronuclei across a temporary junction between conjugating cells. To know the role of microtubules on the behavior of pronuclei during conjugation in P. caudatum, the localization of microtubules was investigated by indirect immunofluorescence with a monoclonal anti-a-tubulin antibody. The immunofluorescence...
متن کاملMutants of sexual maturity in Paramecium caudatum selected by erythromycin resistance.
Cells of Paramecium caudatum, syngen 3 usually become sexually mature about 50 fissions after conjugation. In order to study the genetic mechanisms that control fission-department expression of maturity, an attempt was made to obtain early mature mutants by treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. A new cytoplasmic marker, erythromycin resistance, was used to eliminate nonconjugant ...
