Summary Ultrastructural study of a dikaryon of the basidiomyceteSchizophyllum commune showed that treatment with griseofulvin affected the site of the dividing nuclei and the location and structure of the septa. The microtubules were considered to be the primary target of griseofulvin, since they participate in nuclear division and movement in the hyphae, and their assembly is known to be in other organisms than fungi inhibited by griseofulvin. It is pointed out that dikaryotic hyphae with two nuclei and a clamp connection per cell are more sensitive indicators of the effect of griseofulvin than homokaryotic hyphae, whose structure is less complex.  相似文献

The behaviour of nuclei during the growth and differentiation of basidiocarp primordia of Armillariella mellea (Vahl) Karst. is described. The primordial initials which arose from monokaryotic rhizomorphs were also monokaryotic. In older primordia, at the site of initiation of gill folds, multinucleate cells formed at the tips of monokaryotic hyphae and gave rise to the dikaryotic hyphae bearing clamp connections. These formed the gills of the older primordia. Cytological studies suggested that the nuclei in monokaryotic cells were diploid. In young basidial primordia haploidization occurred in the cells which were to become multinucleate prior to giving rise to dikaryotic hyphae of the gills. In mature basidia after nuclear fusion and meiosis had occurred, each of the four haploid daughter nucleic migrated into a basidiospore and then divided mitotically. One of the mitotic daughter nucleic migrated from each spore back into the basidium so that mature spores were uninucleate.Abbreviations M.T.O.C. microtubule organizing centre  相似文献

Summary During the intercellular nuclear migration of the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune cytoplasmic microtubules were frequently observed scattered in the hyphae around interphase nuclei and connected with a semiglobular structure at the poles of mitotic and postmitotic nuclei. Thus it seems possible that microtubules, which have been demonstrated to participate in the intracellular nuclear movements in the dikaryotic hyphae of the basidiomycetes, are also involved in the intercellular nuclear movements of these fungi. During hyphal fusion microtubules close to an interphase nucleus were connected with electron-dense structures. It is suggested that these structures are centers for the assembly of microtubules necessary for nuclear movements not associated with nuclear divisions.Abbreviations KCE kinetochore equivalent - ch chromatin - cw cross wall of septum - ge semiglobular end of KCE - gm grey material - m mitochondrion - mp middle plate of KCE - mt microtubules - n nucleus - ne nuclear envelope - nu nucleolus - s electron-dense structure connected with microtubules  相似文献

The Kniep stock subcultured for more than 45 years in the Centraal Bureau voor Schimmelcultures at Baarn, Netherlands, contains a burden of morphological and biochemical mutations. It is said to have been originally a monokaryon; something has obviously happened to it: either it has been mislabeled, or it has become contaminated during its long period of subculturing.Our results obtained from outcrossing, indicate that the Kniep stock is a dikaryon. Even mycelia derived from single spores behave as dikaryons and heterokaryons. An explanation of the abnormal behaviour of monosporous mycelia isolated from the Kniep stock is given in terms of impaired distribution of the nuclei from the basidia to the basidiospores, resulting in mono-, di-, and heterokaryotic basidiospores.  相似文献

Cloning of the Cdc42 gene from Schizophyllum commune enabled investigation of the role of ScCdc42 in the regulation of vegetative growth and sexual reproduction in this fungus, which has a well-characterized hyphal cell structure, cytoskeleton, and mating system. Ectopic expression of the constitutively active Sccdc42(G12V) or Sccdc42(Q61L) alleles from native or inducible ScCel1 promoters in haploid hyphae had dramatic effects on hyphal morphology, cytoskeletal structure, and Cdc42 localization. For transformants with constitutively active Sccdc42, polar tip growth of apical cells in the leading hyphae was normal but polar tip growth in side branches was altered, implying different regulation of polarity establishment in the two groups of apical cells. Branch emergence at exceptional sites and isotropic growth of cells near the septum indicated that ScCdc42 regulates branch site selection and subsequent hyphal development. Poor dikaryotization along with irregular clamp connections in mates expressing Sccdc42(G12V) or Sccdc42(Q61L) suggested that Cdc42 also contributes to efficient mating in S. commune.  相似文献

We investigated the roles of microfilaments and microtubules in the localization and tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, a focal adhesion-associated signaling molecule, in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). Paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation is inhibited by cytochalasin D (CD), but slightly increased by colchicine and paclitaxol (taxol). CD also caused an overall disassembly of paxillin-containing focal adhesions (paxillin-FAs) and translocation of paxillin to the cytoplasm and perinuclear region with a diffuse distribution. Meanwhile, colchicine and taxol caused a disassembly of paxillin-FAs from cell periphery and lamellipodia, and their assembly in cell center. These results indicate that actin filaments are important in paxillin assembly in the FAs of the whole ECs and that microtubules are critical in paxillin assembly in cell periphery and lamellipodia; thus the microfilaments and microtubules play differential roles in the dynamics of paxillin assembly/disassembly. Our findings also suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is an important element in paxillin dynamics at FAs.  相似文献

The origin of cytoskeleton and the origin of relevant intracelluar transportation system are big problemsfor understanding the emergence of eukaryotic cells. The present article snmmarized relevant information of evidences and molecular traces on the origin of actin, tubulin, the chaperonin system for folding them,myosins, kinesins, axonemal dyneins and cytoplasmic dyneins. On this basis the authors proposed a seriesof works, which should be done in the future, and indicated the ways for reaching the targets.These targets are mainly: 1) the reconstruction of evolutionary path from MreB protein of archaeal ancestor ofeukaryotic cells to typical actin; 2) the finding of the MreB or MreB-related proteins in crenarchaea andusing them to examine J. A. Lake‘‘s hypothesis on the origin of eukaryote from “eocytes“ (crenarchaea);3) the examinations of the existence and distribution of cytoskeleton made of MreB-related protein withincoccoid archaea, especially in amoeboid archaeon Thermoplasm acidophilnm; 4) using Thermoplasma asa model of archaeal ancestor of eukaryotic cells; 5) the searching for the homolog of ancestral dynein inpresent-day living archaea. During the writing of this article, Margulis‘‘ famous spirochaete hypothesis onthe origin of flagella and cilia was unexpectedly involved and analyzed from aspects of tubulin.% dyneinsand spirochaetes. Actually, spirochaete cannot be reasonably ass,med as the ectosymbiotic ancestor of eukaryotic flagella and cilia, since their swing depends upon large amount of bacterial flagella beneath theflexible outer wall, but not depends upon their intracelluar tubules and the assumed dyneins. In this case,if they had “evolved“ into cilia and lost their bacterial fiagella, they would immediately become immobile!In fact, tubulin and dynein-like proteins have not been found in any spirochaete.  相似文献

Summary The mode of origin of cross-walls in living cells of S. commune was studied in basidiospore germinants, vegetative homokaryotic mycelium and the dikaryon of this mushroom. The de novo origin of septa in basidiospore germinants always involved annular ingrowth of cross-walls. The restriction of intercalary growth was observed in the transition from a two-celled hypha to a three-celled unit. Primary branch formation occurred in nonseptate germinants, subterminal cells of the young hypha and in the hyphal apex. Septum formation in purely vegetative homokaryotic mycelium as well as the main cross-wall of the dikaryon was also by annular ingrowth. Ultrastructure studies of the septal pore apparatus revealed no differences in those of germinants, wild-type or morphologically aberrant unilateral diploidizing strains of vegetative mycelium or in the clamp connection of the dikaryon. Simple septa of two general types prevailed in the common-A heterokaryon of S. commune.  相似文献

Summary Cortical microtubules and cortical microfilaments were visualized in cells ofMicrasterias pinnatifida treated by freeze-substitution, and the pattern of their distribution was reconstructed from serial sections. Most cortical microtubules accompanied the long microfilaments that ran parallel to the microtubules. Cortical microfilaments not accompanied by the microtubules were also found. They were short and slightly curved. Both types of cortical microfilament were not grouped into bundles, and were 6–7 nm in diameter, a value that corresponds to the diameter of filaments of F-actin.  相似文献

The Aα mating locus of the woodrotting fungusSchizophyllum commune encodes two multiallelic genes,Y andZ, which regulate the A-pathway of development. TheY alleles contain a homeobox, suggesting that the Y proteins may be DNA-binding regulatory proteins. During mating, development is induced when Y from one mating partner interacts with Z from the other mating partner; self combinations of Y and Z are inactive. Two-hybrid analyses indicate that nonself combinations of Y and Z form heteromultimers and self combinations do not. To understand Y-Z binding and self- nonself recognition further we used mutagenesis and chimeras to identify regions in one allele ofZ(Z5) that are involved in these processes. Here we report the results, which broadly define regions in Z5 that are essential for activity, Y-Z binding and Z5 allelic specificity.  相似文献

Summary Tube foot epidermal cells of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus were examined by transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy to identify the chemical nature of prominent bundles of cytoplasmic filaments. Cross sections revealed filaments of roughly 7–8 nm in diameter closely packed into dense bundles. These bundles, in turn, were each surrounded by a loose sheath of microtubules. The filament size and negative reaction with the fluorescent F-actin binding drug NBD-phallacidin indicated that they were not actin. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy of whole tissues and frozen sections revealed a strong reaction of the filaments with a monoclonal antibody prepared against porcine stomach desmin. In SDS-polyacrylamide gels of whole tube foot protein, a band of apparent molecular weight around 50 000 daltons reacted with the anti-desmin monoclonal antibody. The combined data provide evidence that the epidermal filament bundles are related to vertebrate intermediate filaments, but further biochemical studies will be necessary to assign them to a particular class of filament proteins.  相似文献

Summary Cell-wall regeneration and reversion of protoplasts ofSchizophyllum commune were investigated using electron microscopic methods and X-ray diffraction.After 3 hours of regeneration protoplasts have formed a loosely organized wall which does not react with Thiéry's stain for periodic acid sensitive carbohydrates. This wall largely consists of chitin microfibrils which are adpressed to the plasmalemma and which are covered by loose aggregates of alkali-soluble S-glucan (-1,3-glucan). Both components are microcrystalline, at least partly. Walls formed in the presence of polyoxin D only consist of thick loose fibers of S-glucan.From 3 hours onward the inner chitin microfibrils of the wall of the primary cells become embedded in alkali-insoluble material that stains heavily with the Thiéry reagent and probably is similar to the R-glucan of the mature wall (i.e., -1,3--1,6-glucan). The outer chitin microfibrils remain free of this matrix and are covered by S-glucan only.Bud-like structures that arise have the same wall architecture as the primary cells,i.e., only the inner chitin microfibrils are embedded in R-glucan and the S-glucan forms a fluffy coat. The walls of hyphal tubes that arise are distinct, however, in that all chitin microfibrils are embedded in R-glucan and the S-glucan forms a compact coat.Cytoplasmic vesicles are sparse in primary cells except at the sites of emergence of budlike structures and hyphae. They continue to be present in the apex of growing hyphae.  相似文献

While it is now recognised that transport within the endomembrane system may occur via membranous tubules, spatial regulation of this process is poorly understood. We have investigated the role of the cytoskeleton in regulating the motility and morphology of the motile vacuole system in hyphae of the fungus Pisolithus tinctorius by studying (1) the effects of anti-microtubule (oryzalin, nocodazole) and anti-actin drugs (cytochalasins, latrunculin) on vacuolar activity, monitored by fluorescence microscopy of living cells; and (2) the ultrastructural relationship of microtubules, actin microfilaments, and vacuoles in hyphae prepared by rapid-freezing and freeze-substitution. Anti-microtubule drugs reduced the tubular component of the vacuole system in a dose-dependent and reversible manner, the extent of which correlated strongly with the degree of disruption of the microtubule network (monitored by immunofluorescence microscopy). The highest doses of anti-microtubule drugs completely eliminated tubular vacuoles, and only spherical vacuoles were observed. In contrast, anti-actin drugs did not reduce the frequency of tubular vacuoles or the motility of these vacuoles, even though immunofluorescence microscopy confirmed perturbation of microfilament organisation. Electron microscopy showed that vacuoles were always accompanied by microtubules. Bundles of microtubules were found running in parallel along the length of tubular vacuoles and individual microtubules were often within one microtubule diameter of a vacuole membrane. Our results strongly support a role for microtubules, but not actin microfilaments, in the spatial regulation of vacuole motility and morphology in fungal hyphae.  相似文献

The purpose of the present research was to observe in the filamentous basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune, the connection between the nuclear division and polymerization of the contractile actin ring with subsequent formation of septa in living hyphae. The filamentous actin was visualized using Lifeact-mCherry and the nuclei with EGFP tagged histone 2B (H2B). Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy confirmed that in monokaryotic and dikaryotic hyphae, the first signs of the contractile actin ring occur at the site of the nuclear division, in one to two minutes after division. At this stage, the telophase nuclei have moved tens of micrometers from the division site. The actin ring is replaced by the septum in six minutes. The apical cells treated with filamentous actin disrupting drug latrunculin A, had swollen tips but the cells were longer than in control samples due to the absence of the actin rings. The nuclear pairing and association with clamp cell development as well as the clamp cell fusion with the subapical cell was disrupted in latrunculin-treated dikaryotic hyphae, indicating that actin filaments are involved in these processes, also regulated by the A and B mating-type genes. This suggests that the actin cytoskeleton may indirectly be a target for mating-type genes.  相似文献
