阔口尖毛虫无性生殖和生理改组过程的比较

阔口尖毛虫无性生殖中先后发生后口围带原基,前、后的波动膜原基,额腹横棘毛原基和左、右缘棘毛原基,老口围带也在此期间更新,结果形成2套新纤毛结构,原老结构瓦解消失;生理改组时按同样顺序产生口围带原基等几类腹面纤毛原基,结果形成1套新纤毛结构,替换老结构。在这两个截然不同的过程中,新纤毛结构的分化和老纤毛结构退化时也表现出某些相似的特征。作者据此推测,这种纤毛虫无性生殖和生理改组中,纤毛原基的发生、发育和定位在细胞控制机理上可能是相同的。

华美游仆虫细胞微管胞器的直接荧光和免疫荧光标记

应用直接荧光和免疫荧光标记显示,腹毛目纤毛虫华美游仆虫(Euplotes elegans)细胞微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛、缘棘毛、尾棘毛、背触毛等纤毛器微管以及纤毛器基部附属微管和非纤毛区皮层微管骨架组成.其中,口围带基部含有小膜托架、小膜附属微管,波动膜基部含有波动膜托架,额腹横棘毛基部含有前纵微管束、后纵微管束、横微管束或放射微管柬,左缘棘毛和尾棘毛基部微管束分化不明显,背纤毛基部含有攻瑰花状的基体周围骨架,这些微管结构与细胞背腹面皮层纵微管与横微管网一起组织成该类纤毛虫的主要皮层细胞骨架.结果表明,游仆虫皮层细胞骨架是以微管为主要成分构建而成的,并且其棘毛基部微管的组成具有与其他类纤毛虫不同的特征;游仆虫间期细胞及形态发生时期纤毛基体或纤毛原基中存在中心蛋白,其可能与纤毛基体结构的维持及基体发生过程中微管的组装有关.     

魏氏拟尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器的形态及形态发生

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记和抗α-微管蛋白抗体免疫荧光标记显示,魏氏拟尾柱虫(Paraurostyla weissei)腹面皮层纤毛器微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛等纤毛器微管、纤毛器基部附属微管等组成。其中口围带基部微管包括小膜托架、小膜附属微管;额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛基部附属微管包括前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束,它们由各自的纤毛器基部向皮层细胞质不同方向发射,形成腹皮层表面下微管网。结果表明,魏氏拟尾柱虫的纤毛器骨架、纤毛器附属结构也是一类以微管蛋白为基本成分的微管胞器,其中缘棘毛基部附属微管具有不同于其他纤毛虫(例如棘尾虫)中所观察到的同种微管胞器的建构特征。形态发生中,前仔虫口围带在老结构位置形成,其结构建成与部分老口围带的更新有关;老缘棘毛的结构物质对新的左、右缘棘毛的发生可能具有定位作用及物质贡献,但此后新的左、右缘棘毛列分别在老缘棘毛的右侧形成,而并非是在老缘棘毛位置分化的。在有些细胞中,新的左缘棘毛左侧另有一列棘毛,这可能是形态发生中老的左缘棘毛退化不完全产生的。

冠突伪尾柱虫的腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器及其形态发生

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记和抗α-微管蛋白抗体免疫荧光标记方法,显示冠突伪尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛等纤毛器微管、纤毛器基部附属微管等组成。口围带基部含小膜托架及与托架相联系的肋壁微管,其中领部小膜托架间由"∧"形微管相联接;额腹横棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束、横微管束和周围微管束,其微管在不同棘毛基部的发达程度不一,其中两列中腹棘毛基部微管紧密联系成一条粗绳索样结构,且左、右中腹棘毛基部的横微管束定向相反;左、右缘棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束,其中横微管束不发达。与目前已知的腹毛目纤毛虫例如贻贝棘尾虫、魏氏拟尾柱虫的纤毛器基部微管相比较,冠突伪尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器基部微管除具有腹毛目纤毛虫纤毛器基部微管的基本特征外,也具有一些特殊的组成模式。皮层纤毛器微管形态发生中,前仔虫口围带并非全部是由老口围带更新而来的,其老口围带只有翻领部发生更新,且翻领部与领部接续处有一小段老的翻领部小膜保留,领部的小膜保留,结果其领部小膜、接续处保留的小膜与更新的翻领部小膜三部分共同组成前仔虫的新口围带。在后仔虫口原基发生的位置,其邻近的老横棘毛没有变化,此时老的横棘毛或许能起到"参照点"或定位作用;各类纤毛器发生、分化过程中,处于非原基区的老额棘毛、横棘毛及左右缘棘毛在较长时间内均未见明显的变化。它们可能是在新结构形成时仍然起到运动作用继而逐渐失去功能而退化瓦解的。     

澳洲管膜虫纤毛器微管的荧光标记及其激光扫描共聚焦显微观察

应用激光扫描共聚焦显微术显示,由FLUTAX直接荧光标记的土壤腹毛类纤毛虫澳洲管膜虫(Cyrtohymena australis)细胞纤毛器微管中,口围带基部由小膜托架、小膜基部的微管束和托架间的连接微管构成,波动膜基部含微管骨架网,口围带后端与波动膜后端汇合处含口底托架;额、腹、横棘毛基部由前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束构成,其横棘毛基部的前纵微管束显著发达,后纵微管束也明显可见;左缘棘毛基部含发达的前纵微管束和后纵微管束,但横微管束不明显;右缘棘毛基部含发达或较发达的横微管束和前纵微管束,但未见后纵微管束。分析表明,澳洲管膜虫纤毛器基部微管的分化特征具有种的特殊性,其中左、右缘棘毛基部微管的组成及发达程度不同在其他纤毛虫中未见报道。结合已有资料推测,游仆虫类、尾柱虫类和尖毛虫类纤毛虫中基部微管的发达程度和建构特征的不同与类群间系统演化关系有关。

背联体贻贝棘尾虫的形态,形态发生及其调节现象

背联体贻贝棘尾虫的每一虫腹面含有相当于正常棘尾虫的腹面纤毛系统,背联两虫任意一侧属于一虫的背面有4列背触毛,它们的排列分布相似于正常棘昆虫的第1—4列背触毛,另一虫背面打2列背触毛,它们相似于正常棘尾虫的第5、6列背触毛。结果表明,背联体棘尾虫是其中两虫各以背面第4列和第5列背触毛之间的皮层区相联接形成的。也有的背联体中背部皮层联接区有变化。无性分裂中背联两虫皮层纤毛结构的形态发生相似于正常棘尾虫,并且两者其皮层纤毛器如口围带、额腹横棘毛、左、右缘棘毛和背触毛等相应结构的发育是同步进行的,推测背联两虫的皮层发育既是相对独立的,又有某种机制控制着相互间的协调。背联体棘昆虫在无性生殖周期中总是经历着一个调节成单体的过程,认为这于背联两虫都具有一套结构功能正常的运动胞器(特别是口围带),而产生向不同方向运动的“不协调”的力有关。

Physiological Reorganization and Post-Traumatic Regeneration in Stylonychia mytilus: Reflections on Developmental Constraints and the Evolutionary Origin of Alternative Modes of Asexual Morphogenesis

We investigated development of cortical ciliature in Stylonychia mytilus during starvation-induced physiological reorganization, and during regeneration following amputation of the anterior part of the cell. Cortical reorganization in the two processes is generally similar. The posterior part of the adoral zone of membranelles is resorbed and replaced with newly assembled membranelles. The pre-existing set of ventral cirri and dorsal bristles is entirely resorbed and replaced with new ones. Regenerants exhibit posterior displacement of the frontal-ventral-transverse cirri primordium and the undulating membrane primordium, and recruit basal bodies from ectopic locations for the development of these ciliature. This illustrates flexibility in the initiation site of ciliary primordia, and opportunism in utilizing building blocks. Such morphogenetic versatility of hypotrichs provides the basis for the operation of a global control of pattern formation, which governs cortical reorganization in dividers, and additionally, in the absence of the prerequisites for binary fission, alternative modes of cortical development such as physiological reorganization or regeneration. These considerations suggest that the three processes are homologous and that physiological reorganization and regeneration have evolved from binary fission. In physiological reorganization and regeneration, the micro- and macronuclei reorganize to resemble that in binary fission; these nuclear events are considered evolutionary relics of the nuclear development of binary fission. Tetrahymena also exhibits such morphogenetic flexibility; stomatogenesis is under global control, so that asexual cells can replace its oral apparatus without undergoing binary fission. Paramecium , on the other hand, adopts a more rigid strategy in relying heavily on pre-existing structures for morphogenetic cues; this could have imposed constraints in the exploration of alternative modes of asexual development.     

The filaments supporting ciliary primordia and fission furrow in the hypotrich ciliateParaurostyla weissei, revealed by the monoclonal antibody 12G9: Studies on wild-type and ciliary hypertrophy mutant

Summary The unique monoclonal antibody FXXXIX 12G9 obtained againstTetrahymena cortices was used to label cytoskeletal structures related to basal body proliferation inParaurostyla weissei. The antibody binds to an amorphous material interconnecting basal bodies in compound ciliary structures: dorsal units, cirri and membranelles in interfission cells, and filamentous structures supporting the primordia of ciliary structures and fission line in dividing cells. The antibody visualized meridional filaments preceding proliferation of new basal bodies in the oral primordium and structures accompanying all developing ciliary primordia. It congregated in differentiating new procirri and membranelles, whereas another population of transient meridional structures accompanied the final distribution of new structures. A meridional filament connecting transverse cirri with the oral apparatus, marking the future stomatogenic meridian, persisted in both division products until completion of cell elongation. The fission line was found to originate from an anterior extension of the pre-oral filament toward the parental oral structures. It then encircled the cell's midbody demarcating the boundary between daughter cells; two additional circumferential structures bordering the anterior and posterior ends of differentiating division products participate in formation of the new poles. They disappear after separation of daughter cells and completion of resorption of parental ciliature. In the enhanced multi-left-marginal mutant expressing gross hyperduplication of basal bodies, the location of the 12G9 antigen corresponded to that in wild-type cells. The sequence of formation of meridional filaments in the mutant was found to be altered. The filaments in the left lateral domain preceded the formation of the preoral filament, yet the temporal pattern of basal body assembly was not modified. The fission line, as in wild-type cells, originated in connection with the oral primordium. We conclude that the nucleation of the filamentous structures bearing the 12G9 antigen and the basal body assembly occur by independent mechanisms reading the same cell cycle signals. We suggest that the 12G9-antigen-bearing protein might be similar to septins: involved in signaling the position of the oral primordium and the fission line and functioning in establishing and maintaining the asymmetric cortical domain characteristics.Abbrevations AZM zone of adorai membranelles - bb basal bodies - CC caudal cirri - FC frontal cirri - Fmf frontal meridional filament - FTV the primordia of fronto-ventro-transverse cirri - LD, RD dorsal rows of bristle units - LM, RM left or right marginal cirral row - OA oral apparatus - OP primordium of the adoral membranelles - pLM, pRM primordium of the left or right marginal cirri - pLD, pRD primordia of the left or right dorsal bristle rows - pUM primordium of the undulating membranes - TC transverse cirri - UM undulating membranes - VC ventral cirral rows     

一种游仆虫皮层纤维结构的扫描电镜研究

应用扫描电镜研究了一种游仆虫皮层纤维结构。结果显示,口围带托架由横向组排在一起的小膜托架单元组成,每个小膜托架是由40-50 nm直径的纤维编织成的长方形薄片;波动膜托架是横向平行排列和纵向平行排列两部分共60多股纤维交错编织成的网状结构;额腹横棘毛区表膜下含有纵纤维层、球形纤维层和深部纤维层三层纤维,其纵纤维层在相应于游仆虫皮层脊（或脊和唇）之间的表膜下方被纵沟分成几部分;背面表膜下含有纵纤维,这层纤维下似乎也有球形纤维层。此外,作者也推测了这些皮层纤维结构在游仆虫皮层形态的保持、支持纤毛器和纤毛器运动及形态发生等方面的作用。
