Exposure of Tetrahymena pyriformis to 7,500 or 10,000 psi of hydrostatic pressure for 2, 5, or 10 min intervals results in a change in cell shape and ciliary activity. Shape changes occur concurrently with a degradation of longitudinal microtubules in a posterior to anterior direction. High pressure also causes a disruption of ciliary activity. Fine structural analysis reveals a breakdown (pres...
We have studied the effects of adding participate supplements to populations of Tetrahymena pyriformis in 2 % sterile-filtered proteose peptone broth which supports cell multiplication poorly (generation times in excess of 40 h). The tested compounds were: heat-sterilized suspensions of egg albumin, nutritionally inert particles of polystyrene, sulphopropyl and quarternary amino-ethyl substitut...
Mass spectrometry imaging of freeze-dried membrane phospholipids of dividing Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Time of Flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) has been used to explore the distribution of phospholipids in the plasma membrane of Tetrahymena pyriformis during cell division. The dividing cells were freeze dried prior to analysis followed by line scan and region of interest analysis at various stages of cell division. The results showed no signs of phospholipid domain formation at ...
We examined the effect of a local anesthetic, dibucaine, on the plasma membrane of Tetrahymena pyriformis strain NT-1 using freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Intramembranous particles (IMPs) were distributed homogeneously on the plasma membrane of untreated cells. But, when Tetrahymena cells had been treated with 1.3 mM dibucaine for 5 min at growth temperature, freeze-fracture micrographs o...
SYNOPSIS. Methods are described for the recovery of highly purified DNA from Paramecium aurelia and Tetrahymena pyriformis in high yields. Our DNA is only slightly contaminated with RNA and carbohydrate, and little or no protein can be detected. We could not reduce the RNA (orcinol-positive material) by further treatment (sephadex or hydroxyapatite chromatography and preparative CsCl gradients)...
The unicellular Tetrahymena pyriformis was studied for chemotaxis, chemotactic selection, phagocytosis, growth and body shape changes in the presence of water soluble (beta-cyclodextrin-coupled) steroid hormones (testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, hydrocortisone and dexamethasone). Testosterone was chemoattractant over a wide range of concentrations, while progesterone and dexamethasone wer...
A tRNA (guanine-2) methyltransferase has been purified to homogeneity from the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis. The enzyme methylates purified E. coli tRNAs which have a guanine residue at position 26 from the 5' end; it also methylates tRNA prepared from the m22G- yeast mutant trm 1. This methyltransferase is therefore equivalent to the guanine methyltransferase 2mGII found in mammalian extra...
The formation of a soluble H(3)-thymidine derivative pool has been examined in Tetrahymena pyriformis as a function of macronuclear DNA synthesis during the cell life cycle. An autoradiographic technique which allows the detection of water-soluble materials within a cell has shown that these cells do not take up and retain exogenous H(3)-thymidine during G1 or G2. Uptake of H(3)-thymidine is re...
Tetrahymena corlissi, a free-living protozoan, apparently caused the death of large number of guppies (Poecilia reticulatus) and occasionally other fishes, in aquaria and hatcheries at several locations. Apparently the disease occurs when the fish and protozoan populations are both at a high level of density. The signs include white spots and epidermal damage. Histologically, T. corlissi could ...
Tetrahymena is able to adapt to the presence of sublethal concentrations of many drugs which inhibit a wide variety of cellular functions. In spite of the generality of this phenomenon in Tetrahymena, the mechanism of adaptation at the cellular and molecular levels is unknown. This study deals mainly with adaptation to the protein synthesis inhibitors, cycloheximide and emetine. The physiologic...
