Electron Microscopy of the Nuclear Membrane of Amoeba Proteus
An electron microscope study of the nuclear membrane of Amoeba proteus by thin sectioning techniques has revealed an ultrastructure in the outer layer of the membrane that is homologous to the pores and annuli observed in the nuclear membranes of many other cell types studied by these techniques. An inner honeycombed layer apparently unique to Amoeba proteus is also described.
متن کاملPseudopodium induction by the action of quaternary ammonium ions on Amoeba proteus.
Some aliphatic long-chain quaternary ammonium compounds and choline derivatives have been examined for their ability to induce pseudopodia from Amoeba proteus. The reaction involved in pseudopodium induction is believed to be between the quaternary nitrogen cations and polysaccharides on the cell surface. Not all of the carboxyl groups of the polysaccharide are involved in this reaction. The me...
متن کاملSpecificity of pseudopodium induction by the action of cations on Amoeba proteus.
Some substituted cholines, long-chain aliphatic substituted amines and simple inorganic salts have been tested at different concentrations for their ability to induce pseudopodia from Amoeba proteus. The ability of substituted amines to induce pseudopodia is inversely related to their ability to bind to acid polysaccharides. The reaction of compounds with the surface polysaccharide is probably ...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Observations of Amoeba Proteus in Growth and Inanition
Electron microscopic observations have been made on growing and dividing specimens of Amoeba proteus and also on starving animals. Structures presumably corresponding to the mitochondria, alpha particles, vacuoles, and Golgi material are described. A new entity, designated as a foamy particle, is noted. Descriptions are given of the cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes. During division the inner, ...
متن کاملCytoplasmic filaments and cellular wound healing in amoeba proteus
The flexibility and self-healing properties of animal cell surface membranes are well known. These properties have been best exploited in various micrurgical studies on living cells (2, 3), especially in amoebae (7, 20). During nuclear transplantation in amoebae, the hole in the membrane through which a nucleus passes can have a diameter of 20-30 mum, and yet such holes are quickly sealed, alth...
