Deoxyribonucleic Acid Synthesis and Distribution During Growth and Amitosis of the Macronucleus of Euplotes

SYNOPSIS. Short sections of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the elongated macronucleus of Euplotes eurystomus were labeled by means of a short exposure to tritiated (H³-) thymidine to follow by autoradiography the fate of the labeled DNA during amitotic reorganization of the macronucleus. During amitosis the radioactive DNA that was restricted during interphase to short sections of the nucleus is dispersed and becomes evenly distributed throughout each daughter macronucleus.
Although the reorganization bands normally originate only at the ends of the macronucleus, additional bands can start at other places on the macronuclear surface. Bands of the same macronucleus originate with a high degree of synchrony. DNA synthesis is a constant feature of the rear zone of every reorganization band.     

Replication bands and nucleoli in the macronucleus of Euplotes eurystomus: an ultrastructural and cytochemical study

The principal structural compartments of the macronucleus of Euplotes eurystomus were examined by ultrastructural and cytochemical procedures. Interphase chromatin is condensed in highly compact granules that stain intensely with the DNA-specific osmium-amine procedure. Nucleoli react strongly with silver and with thiol-specific reagents, but are almost completely unstained by osmium-amine. The organelle of DNA synthesis, the replication band, is composed of 2 zones. The forward zone consists of highly ordered chromatin fibers, stains strongly with osmium-amine, with silver, and with thiol-specific reagents. The rear zone, which is the site of DNA synthesis, is impoverished in DNA, and is very sensitive to collapse induced by in vivo heat shock, or during nuclear isolation.     

Macronuclear Duplication in the Ciliated Protozoan Euplotes

The ribbon-like macronucleus of Euplotes eurystomus pinches in half amitotically at each cell division. Several hours before the actual division two lightly staining duplication bands (reorganization bands) appear at the ends of the nucleus and approach each other slowly, finally meeting near the middle. Distal to the bands, that is, in regions through which the bands have already passed, the concentration of DNA (Feulgen) and "histone" (alkaline fast green) is greater than in the central zone. These facts suggest the hypothesis that DNA-histone synthesis takes place in a sequential fashion starting at the tips of the nucleus and proceeding to the middle. That this hypothesis is correct is shown by autoradiographic and photometric observations. Tritium-labelled thymidine is incorporated only in a limited region immediately distal to the bands. The average amount of Feulgen dye bound by the nucleus rises as the duplication bands approach each other, and is double the presynthesis value by the time the bands meet. A similar rise in the alkaline fast green dye is seen in duplicating nuclei, although no completely post-synthesis values were obtained in this study. The quantitative data are consistent with the assumption that the macronucleus contains a number of DNA-histone "units," presumably chromosomes, each of which duplicates once and only once.

Le Macronucleus Hétéromere de Quelques Ciliés

SUMMARY. In ciliates belonging to the two gymnostome families Chlamydodontidae and Dysteriidae as well as to the order Chonotrichida the macronucleus is composed of two parts which are distinct but in very close juxtaposition. One part, here called "orthomerous," contains granules or microsomes of desoxyribonucleoprotein and several nucleoli; it thus shows the normal structure of a macronucleus of the ordinary type. The other part, "paramerous," contains desoxy-ribonucleic acid diffused, apparently, throughout a homogeneous karyolymph and possesses, in addition, several nucleoli and an endosome of desoxyribonucleoprotein.
The three groups of ciliates under discussion are closely related and constitute an assemblage of forms remarkably evolved. The "heteromerous" structure of their macronuclei must be considered as a secondary acquisition and a differentiation of the "homeomerous" type which characterizes the structure of the macronucleus in most other ciliates.     

Suggestive Structural Evidence for Macronuclear "Subnuclei" in Tetrahymena pyriformis GL

SYNOPSIS Structural changes in the Feulgen-positive material of the Tetrahymena pyriformis GL macronucleus have been observed during the cell cycle. From the finely granulated appearance in the interphase cell it appears as small rods, often arranged in pairs (probably the endomitotic stage) during early morphogenesis and as larger (and fewer) aggregates of granules during the nuclear division. These latter aggregates are also visible in dividing nuclei in the electron microscope where groups of chromation granules are separated by fairly empty nucleoplasm. It is suggested that these Feulgen positive aggregates in dividing nuclei are macronuciear segregation units or "subnuclei." The number per dividing macronucleus may vary from one experiment to another, but the variation seems to be related to cell volume. The distribution of the aggregates among the daughter nuclei is almost equal. The total number per dividing macronucleus is about 80 which is close to the estimated number of "subnuclei" in the T. pyriformis macronucleus (Allen and Nanney, 1958).
Some calculations are made on the polyploidy of the T. pyriformis GL macronucleus. Using published electron micrographs of micronuclei of known age to calculate the total number of chromatin granules per haploid nucleus, the polyploidy of the strain GL macronucleus is about 40. This figure is half of that expected from Allen and Nanney's estimation, since they assumed that the "subnuclei" were diploid; however, it is in agreement with the reported haploid nature of the "subnuclei" as found by Woodard, Gorovsky & Kaneshiro, 1968. Further calculations suggest that each macronuclear "chromosome" is composed of about 40 chromatin granules; an indication of such a chain arrangement of the chromatin granules has been observed in the phase contrast and electron microscope during the earliest macronuclear events, i.e., at the macronuclear "prophase."
