When Chlamydomonas reinhardi cells liberate zoospores, theyexcrete into the medium a factor(s) which induces zoospore liberationof other cells that are not yet ready to liberate zoosporesby themselves. The "factor" is contained within cells at laterstages of the cell cycle, but its action is suppressed untilthe regular time of zoospore liberation in the cell cycle.

Cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Dangeard were synchronouslygrown under a 12 hr light 12 hr dark regime. When thesecells were brought into contact with chloramphenicol for a shortperiod at early stages in the cell cycle, zoospore liberationwas delayed for a period which was nearly the same as that ofthe duration of contact with the antibiotic. When given at laterstages, the antibiotic caused no such effect. Cycloheximide,on the other hand, causedwhen provided at some intermediatestage of the cell cycle two different prolonging effectson the length of the cell cycle: one doubled the normal length(observed when the drug was administered at certain stages)and the other caused a delay similar to that caused by chloramphenicol.Interestingly, no prolonging effect was observed when cycloheximidewas given either at early stages or at later stages, such asduring the last 1/4 period of the cell cycle preceding zoosporeliberation. Based on these results, three phases were distinguishedin the algal cell cycle: "chloramphenicolsensitive", "cycloheximide-sensitive"and "insensitive" phases. Considering the known facts aboutthe modes of action of the two antibiotics inhibiting proteinsynthesis, discussions were made on the significance of proteinsynthesis in chloroplasts and in cytoplasm in determining thelength of the cell cycle.

Cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Dangeard were synchronouslygrown under a 12 hr light-12 hr dark regime. The algal cellcycle under these conditions starts with a light-induced reaction(s)at the beginning of the light period and ends, after a definiteperiod of time (2324 hr at 25°C), in zoospore liberation.When cells were exposed to 6-methyl purine for short periods(0.52.5 hr) at different times during the early and intermediatephases of the cell cycle, it exerted, as an analogue of adenine,two different effects on the revolution of the cell cycle: onea "lengthening" effect seen at its low concentrations in whichthe length of the cell cycle was somewhat prolonged, the othera "return to start" effect at higher concentrations. In thelatter a short exposure of cells to 6-methyl purine broughtthem to the starting point of the cell cycle concurrent withthe abortion of the cycle in process. When 6-methyl purine wasapplied during the later phase of about 1/4 the length of thecell cycle, it casued no effect. Control of the revolution ofthe algal cell cycle by an "adenine-involving reaction(s)" disturbedby this adenine analogue is discussed. (Received September 1, 1975; ) 相似文献

By following the nuclear division, chloroplast division, cytokinesisand zoospore liberation of Chlamydomonas reinhardi cells exposedto a high concentration of 6-methyl purine (6-MP), corroborativeevidence was obtained for our previous conclusion that 6-MP-exposedcells are brought to the starting point of a new round of thecell cycle with abortion of the cycle in process ("return-to-start"effect). This effect did not occur after cells had passed acritical stage (transition point) which seemed to be situatedshortly prior to the onset of nuclear division under the conditionsused. When 6-MP was applied to cells after the transition point,it caused an advancing effect on their zoospore liberation.A cycloheximide (CHI)-inhibition step existed shortly alterthe transition point for 6-MP. A model was proposed for theeffects of 6-MP and CHI. (Received August 8, 1977; ) 相似文献

Changes in subcellular structures during the entire vegetativecell cycle of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Dangeard in synchronousculture were followed with an electron microscope. Giant mitochondriaof various shapes were temporarily formed, probably by fusionof smaller mitochondria, in the algal cells at an intermediatestage of the growth phase of the cell cycle. Formation of giantmitochondria was accompanied by a marked decrease in the oxygen-uptakeactivity of cells. Giant mitochondria divided into smaller formsconcurrently with a re-increase in the oxygen-uptake activityof cells. Some characteristics of changes in the structuresof chloroplast, the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticula, flagellaand dictyosomes are described.

Allophanate lyase can be induced by urea or acetamide 20-40-fold within 4 h in NH4 + -deprived cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardi. In light-synchronized cultures, allophanate lyase induction appeared to be limited to the light phase of the cell cycle, provided that culture samples were induced under ongoing illumination conditions (i.e. light induction of light phase cells and dark induction of dark phase cells). However, when culture samples were induced under constant light conditions this cell cycle pattern was abolished. Light was found to be required for allophanate lyase induction and this was shown to be due, in part, to the light requirement for inducer uptake. The relationship between allophanate lyase induction and gametogenesis is discussed. 相似文献

Induction and synthesis of tubulin during the cell cycle and life cycle of Chlamydomonas reinhardi 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Two types of tubulin induction are observed in Chlamydomonas reinhardi. One is elicited by flagellar detachment and the other occurs as a normal event of the vegetative cell cycle. In the former case, a strong and extensive induction of tubulin synthesis occurs following deflagellation of cells in all phases of the life cycle [vegetative, gametic, and (early) zygotic]. Synthesis is initiated in all three cell types within 15 min after deflagellation. In gametic and zygotic cells, tubulin synthesis so induced accounts for 15 to 20% of the total protein synthesis during the 1-hr peak period of tubulin production. The ability to support both tubulin synthesis and flagellar regeneration is lost in zygotes at 1.5 hr after the initiation of zygotic development. This alteration represents one of several dramatic shifts in the programming of protein synthesis that occur during the first 4 hr of zygotic differentiation in C. reinhardi. The second (i.e., cell cycle-dependent) type of induction is observed in synchronously growing vegetative cells at ~1.5–2 hr prior to cytokinesis. Tubulin synthesis, in this case, persists at relatively high levels (~5% of the total protein synthesis) for the next 9 hr, i.e., through the entire period of cell division to a time just before the liberation of fully flagellated daughter cells at hr 20 of the cell cycle. Changes in the programming of protein synthesis, and of tubulin synthesis in particular, are discussed in relation to specific physiological and cytological transitions that occur during the growth and differentiation of C. reinhardi. 相似文献

The culture medium of growing Chlamydomonas reinhardii cells contains hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, which are mainly liberated during release of the zoospores from the mother-cell wall. Pulse-labelling studies with [3H]proline and [35S]methionine have been performed in order to detect the protein components released by synchronously growing cells at different stages of the cell cycle. When either [3H]proline or [35S]methionine were applied during the phase of cell growth, radioactive label appeared in the released macromolecules after a lag period of 40 min, whereas incorporation into the insoluble part of the cell wall was delayed only by 20 min. When applied at the end of the growth phase, e.g. 13 h after beginning of the illumination period, the radioactive amino acids were incorporated into the cell wall, but radioactive labelling of macromolecules released into the culture medium could not be detected before the zoospores were liberated from the mother-cell wall. Maximal incorporation of [3H]proline and [35S]methionine into the insoluble part of the cell wall was observed during cell division, but essentially no radioactively-labelled macromolecules were released into the culture medium during this time period. Analysis of the macromolecules, which were liberated during cell enlargement, by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed distinct radioactive bands, which were differentially labelled with [3H]proline and [35S]methionine. Among the macromolecules released into the culture medium during cell growth, a component of an apparent Mr 35 000 was preferentially labelled with [3H]proline. This component was also detected after labelling with [35S]methionine, but components of an apparently higher Mr were more prominent after labelling with [35S]methionine. Macromolecules released during the cell-enlargement period of synchronously growing cultures in the presence of [3H]proline contained radioactively-labelled hydroxyproline in addition to proline. These results show that, during cell-wall growth, specific protein components are released into the culture medium and that at least one of these components contains large amounts of proline and hydroxyproline. At least some of these macromolecules seem to be constituents of the cell wall, because during pulse-chase experiments radioactively-labelled macromolecules appeared in the culture medium mainly during the time period when the specific radioactivity of the insoluble inner-cell-wall layer decreased. 相似文献

A mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardi, in which cell and nuclear division are no longer synchronised, has been compared with wild type with the aim of clarifying the nature of the difference between the two strains. On entry into stationary phase, wild type cultures show a marked increase in protein, RNA and chlorophyll per cell, whereas mutant cultures do not show a comparable increase. The effect of chemicals which may interfere with particular aspects of the cell division process on the expression of the mutant have been studied. Vitamin B12 and the related compounds, benzimidazole, 5,6,dimethylbenzimidazole and cobaltous chloride increase the asynchrony between cell and nuclear division and consequently lead to the accumulation of large multinucleate cells. The mutant is less resistant than wild type to the inhibitory effects of caffeine. 相似文献

Gametic differentiation in Chlamydomonas reinhardi: cell cycle dependency and rates in attainment of mating competency 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Withdrawal of a utilizable nitrogen source during mid G1 of the cell cycle induces gametic differentiation in synchronously grown vegetative cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardi. Cell division accompanies gametic differentiation in such cultures, and the ability of mid G1 vegetative cells to form gametes is matched by their ability to undergo a round of cell division after nitrogen withdrawal. Synchronously grown cultures require up to 19 hr in nitrogen-free medium to complete a round of division and to form mating-competent cells. Asynchronously grown liquid cultures require less time after nitrogen withdrawal (generally 5–8 hr) to achieve mating competency. In these cultures cell division did not necessarily accompany gametic differentiation since gametic differentiation took place in induced cultures at high cell concentrations which prevented cell division. Maximum mating competency was achieved in less than 2 hr after induction of vegetative cells grown on agar plates. Little cell division was observed during that short induction interval. The relationship between the attainment of mating competency (gametogenesis) and other physiological events resulting from nitrogen withdrawal is discussed. 相似文献

Regulation of light-harvesting chlorophyll-binding protein (LHCP) mRNA accumulation during the cell cycle in Chlamydomonas reinhardi 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCP) synthesis is highly regulated during the cell cycle in light-dark synchronized C. reinhardi cells. LHCPs are a family of cytoplasmically synthesized proteins which are imported into the chloroplast. LHCPs are derived from at least two precursor proteins (32 kd and 30 kd) that are synthesized in vitro and immunoprecipitated by antiserum against chlorophyll-protein complex II proteins. A DNA copy of the mRNA encoding a 32 kd LHCP precursor was cloned from cDNA synthesized from poly(A) RNA obtained from mid-light-phase synchronous cells. Using cloned cDNA (pHS16) as a hybridization probe, we found that a single 1.2 kb RNA complementary to pHS16 accumulates in a wave-like manner during the mid-light phase of the 12 hr light-12 hr dark cycle and correlates with the pattern of chlorophyll synthesis. Light, during the light phase in the light-dark cycle, is required for accumulation of this RNA. 相似文献

Summary The culture medium of asynchronously growing Chlamydomonas reinhardii cells contains distinct proteins which are derived from the cell walls of these cells. When cultures are synchronized by a light-dark cycle cell wall proteins are synthesized throughout the cycle, but the release of these proteins into the culture medium occurs primarily in the last quarter of the cycle, after cell separation has occurred. The mutant CW-2, which does not form a normal cell wall, continuously synthesizes and secretes cell wall proteins into the culture medium. The synthesis of cell wall protein during the cell cycle appears to be modulated and peaks of synthesis occur at the end of the light period and in the second half of the dark period, shortly after cell separation. At these times the cells devote 15% of their protein-synthetic capacity to making cell wall proteins.Abbreviations SDS

The phosphorylation of thylakoid proteins, which comprise apoproteins of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex (LHCP), was investigated in vivo and in vitro during the development of Scenedesmus obliquus in synchronous cultures. The in-vitro and in-vivo protein phosphorylation exhibited a maximum activity in cells with maximum photosynthetic capacity (8th hour) and miximum activity in cells with minimum photosynthetic capacity (16th hour). The major phosphorylated polypeptides in vivo were the 24/25-kDa and 28–30-kDa apoprotein of the LHCP, a protein of about 32 kDa, and some smaller polypeptides within the range 10 to 20 kDa. In vitro, the main phosphoproteins were the 28–30-kDa apoprotein and the protein characterized by an apparent molecular weight of 32 kDa. Pulse-chase experiments in vivo established that the latter had the fastest radioactivity turnover of the thylakoidal phosphoproteins.Abbreviations DCMU
