A study was made of the ultrastructure of stable L-forms of Nag vibrios aged 24 hours. Cells of all types of the L-forms had cytoplasmic membranes, and a three-layered structure, which was found not everywhere. Externally of the cytoplasmic membrane, in some areas of the individual cells there were revealed a plastic layer of cell wall and a basal membrane. However, in difference to bacterial forms of the vibryos, rigidity of the cell wall was disturbed, and the links between the cell wall and the cytoplasmic membrane were indetectable. There were regularly revealed lamellar of myelin-like membranous structures in the cytoplasm, which did not occur in bacterial forms, and also lamellar mesosomes. The latter were found in the sites of cell division. Viability of small bodies as the minimal reproductive forms of the L-cultures is confirmed by the presence in them of a nucleoid and of the binary division. 相似文献

The authors studied in the L-forms of streptococcus induced in the living organism. Submicroscopic structure of the L-forms under study was analogous to the L-forms of the museum streptococcus strain and to the L-forms of some other bacteria. As revealed on the ultra-thin sections of the protoplast-like cells the intracytoplasmic membrane structures were located close to the cytoplasmic membrane and also passed through the whole cell in the form of a band. The latter was in contact with the nucleotide. The elemental bodies were found in the vesicular and the protoplastic cells, and also in the space between the cells; sometimes they formed groups surrounded by a membrane. 相似文献

Brucella abortus L-forms were induced by 5.0 or 10.0 mug of penicillin/ml in a broth medium containing 0.3 m sucrose, and in a semisolid medium containing 10% calf serum and 20.0, 40.0, or 60.0 mug of penicillin/ml. After 96 hr of incubation, L-forms of various sizes and shapes were observed. Basic structures of the L-forms were similar whether induced in liquid or semisolid medium. L-forms had two "unit" membranes, each consisting of two outer dense layers separated by a lucent layer. A few large, irregularly shaped organisms in penicillin-treated broth cultures had additional surface material and were referred to as "transitional" forms. In contrast with L-forms, the bacterial cells were fairly uniform in size and shape, were smaller, and had a more complex cell wall structure. Small bodies limited by a "unit" membrane were present within and around numerous L-forms from liquid and semisolid medium cultures. Other internal membranous structures were also seen in some L-forms. Most Brucella L-forms described in this paper reverted to bacteria in the absence of penicillin and were structurally characteristic of unstable L-forms. 相似文献

Thin sections of hamster kidney tissue cultures were examined by electron microscopy over a 7-day period after infection with Brucella abortus 3183. Numerous bacteria and structures resembling L-forms were present both intracellularly and extracellularly after the first 24 hr of infection. Most intracellular microorganisms were enclosed by a cytoplasmic membrane, but in a few instances no limiting membrane was detected. After 4 to 7 days, fewer microorganisms were present, and most normal-appearing bacteria were intracellular, particularly in antibiotic-treated cultures. Structures typical of Brucella L-forms were extracellular at the latter time intervals. Several structures were observed in cells from infected cultures whose relationship to the infecting organisms is not known. These consisted of various membranous structures within cytoplasmic vacuoles, myelin-like structures surrounding occasional intracellular organisms, and small bodies present within vacuoles and extracellularly. The latter structures observed throughout the experimental period appeared to occur more frequently as the duration of the infection increased. 相似文献

The minimum size of a reproducible unit of staphylococcal L-forms was determined by filtration and electron microscopic methods. Ultrathin sections of an induced strain of Staphylococcal L-forms (STA-EMT-1) in liquid medium revealed several types of structures, all of which were bound by a single membrane and most of which possessed ribosome-like granules. Many of the small granules were less than 0.3 μm and were attached to the membrane of the large bodies. Using a serial filtration method, it was observed that viable L-forms were still detected in 0.22 μm filtrate, but the viable cell count of L-forms decreased in number with the decrease in pore size of membrane filters. A fractionation technique, using L-forms filtered through a membrane filter with a 0.45 μm pore size, revealed that there were three classes of small bodies but only the first class with ribosome-like granules over approximately 0.2 μm in diameter seems to be able to reproduce. 相似文献

ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) is thought to play a critical role in recruiting coatomer (COPI) to Golgi membranes to drive transport vesicle budding. Yeast strains harboring mutant COPI proteins exhibit defects in retrograde Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum protein transport and striking cargo-selective defects in anterograde endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi protein transport. To determine whether arf mutants exhibit similar phenotypes, the anterograde transport kinetics of multiple cargo proteins were examined in arf mutant cells, and, surprisingly, both COPI-dependent and COPI-independent cargo proteins exhibited comparable defects. Retrograde dilysine-mediated transport also appeared to be inefficient in the arf mutants, and coatomer mutants with no detectable anterograde transport defect exhibited a synthetic growth defect when combined with arf1Δ, supporting a role for ARF in retrograde transport. Remarkably, we found that early and medial Golgi glycosyltransferases localized to abnormally large ring-shaped structures. The endocytic marker FM4–64 also stained similar, but generally larger ring-shaped structures en route from the plasma membrane to the vacuole in arf mutants. Brefeldin A similarly perturbed endosome morphology and also inhibited transport of FM4–64 from endosomal structures to the vacuole. Electron microscopy of arf mutant cells revealed the presence of what appear to be hollow spheres of interconnected membrane tubules which likely correspond to the fluorescent ring structures. Together, these observations indicate that organelle morphology is significantly more affected than transport in the arf mutants, suggesting a fundamental role for ARF in regulating membrane dynamics. Possible mechanisms for producing this dramatic morphological change in intracellular organelles and its relation to the function of ARF in coat assembly are discussed. 相似文献

Ultrastructure of mitochondria apparatus of cardiomyocytes in apoptosis induced by long-term anoxia in rats 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Apoptosis in cardiomyocytes was induced by incubation of pieces of cardiac tissues under condition of anoxia. Electronmicroscopic investigation detected previously unknown changes in mitochondrial ultrastructure. The mitochondrial population was characterized by morphological heterogeneity. In addition to a mitochondrial population characterized with irrigated cleared matrix, anoxia induced the appearance of an atypical and previously unknown population of small electron-dense cardiomyocyte mitochondria. They were characterized by unusual localization inside electron-light mitochondria ("mitochondria inside mitochondria"). The most part of mitochondria with the irrigated matrix are commonly characterized by unusual types of rearrangements of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Under anoxic conditions, the inner mitochondrial membrane formed electron-dense ordered structures. This is a spongy structure with cells of equal size. Results of our study are discussed in terms of conception of changes in mitochondrial reticulum ultrastructure during apoptosis. 相似文献

The vesicle-inducing protein in plastids (VIPP1) was suggested to play a role in thylakoid membrane formation via membrane vesicles. As this functional assignment is under debate, we investigated the function of VIPP1 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Using immunofluorescence, we localized VIPP1 to distinct spots within the chloroplast. In VIPP1-RNA interference/artificial microRNA cells, we consistently observed aberrant, prolamellar body-like structures at the origin of multiple thylakoid membrane layers, which appear to coincide with the immunofluorescent VIPP1 spots and suggest a defect in thylakoid membrane biogenesis. Accordingly, using quantitative shotgun proteomics, we found that unstressed vipp1 mutant cells accumulate 14 to 20% less photosystems, cytochrome b(6)f complex, and ATP synthase but 30% more light-harvesting complex II than control cells, while complex assembly, thylakoid membrane ultrastructure, and bulk lipid composition appeared unaltered. Photosystems in vipp1 mutants are sensitive to high light, which coincides with a lowered midpoint potential of the Q(A)/Q(A)(-) redox couple and increased thermosensitivity of photosystem II (PSII), suggesting structural defects in PSII. Moreover, swollen thylakoids, despite reduced membrane energization, in vipp1 mutants grown on ammonium suggest defects in the supermolecular organization of thylakoid membrane complexes. Overall, our data suggest a role of VIPP1 in the biogenesis/assembly of thylakoid membrane core complexes, most likely by supplying structural lipids. 相似文献

Cell clusters formed in persistent populations of Nostoc sp. f. Blasia, a cyanobacterium capable of cell differentiation, under prolonged storage in the dark at low temperatures were studied for
the first time. Cell reorganization was observed, including changes in the ultrastructure of thylakoids, the cell wall peptidoglycan
layer, and carboxysomes. Subcellular structures involved in intercellular communication within the clusters were revealed
(structures similar to microplasmodesms and contact pores, secretory vesicles, etc.) Persistence of cyanobacterial populations
was concluded to result from formation not only of specialized dormant cells (akinetes), but also L-forms, as well as from
the modification changes of the clustered vegetative cells. A cluster containing the vegetative cells and L-like forms within
a common intercellular matrix is considered a structural unit at the supracellular level, which is responsible for survival
of cyanobacterial populations when mass akinete formation does not occur. 相似文献

Pex1 and Pex6 are two AAA-ATPases that play a crucial role in peroxisome biogenesis. We have characterized the ultrastructure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae peroxisome-deficient mutants pex1 and pex6 by various high-resolution electron microscopy techniques. We observed that the cells contained peroxisomal membrane remnants, which in ultrathin cross sections generally appeared as double membrane rings. Electron tomography revealed that these structures consisted of one continuous membrane, representing an empty, flattened vesicle, which folds into a cup shape. Immunocytochemistry revealed that these structures lack peroxisomal matrix proteins but are the sole sites of the major peroxisomal membrane proteins Pex2, Pex10, Pex11, Pex13, and Pex14. Upon reintroduction of Pex1 in Pex1-deficient cells, these peroxisomal membrane remnants (ghosts) rapidly incorporated peroxisomal matrix proteins and developed into peroxisomes. Our data support earlier views that Pex1 and Pex6 play a role in peroxisomal matrix protein import. 相似文献

Dynamin is a 100-kD GTPase, which is required for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Recent studies have revealed that dynamin is closely involved in clathrin-coated vesicle formation. In this study we investigated the ultrastructure of endocytotic structures accumulated in HeLa cells that were transformed with a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of dynamin to clarify which step was blocked in dynts cells. Endocytosis of transferrin receptors was restricted at the level of surface-connected membrane structures. Tubular and vesicular membrane invaginations were accumulated in the cells' peripheral regions, suggesting that the endocytosis was blocked just before the pinching-off steps in coated vesicle formation. The "collared" tubes, which were reported to be localized in nerve terminals in shibirets1 flies and GTPgammaS-treated synaptosomes, were not observed in the dynts cells even at nonpermissive temperature. The distribution pattern of dynamin in deeply invaginated coated pits in dynts cells was similar to that in dynwt cells but not to that in dynK44A cells, which are other endocytosis-defective mutant cells. These morphological data suggest that dynts blocked the pinching-off steps in clathrin-coated vesicle formation, which may be caused by a different mechanism from that of dynK44A cells. 相似文献

The plant vacuole fulfills a variety of functions, and is essential for plant growth and development. We previously identified complex and mobile structures on the continuous vacuolar membrane, which we refer to as 'bulbs'. To ascertain their biological significance and function, we searched for markers associated with bulbs, and mutants that show abnormalities with respect to bulbs. We observed bulb-like structures after expression of non-membranous proteins as well as the functional soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) molecules VAM3 and VTI11. Bulbs are formed in more tissues than previously reported, including flowering organs, suspension culture cells, endodermal cells in the flowering stem, and at very early stages of seed germination. Using existing and newly developed marker lines, we found that the frequency of bulb occurrence is significantly decreased in multiple shoot gravitropism (sgr) mutants, which are known to have a defect in vacuolar membrane properties in endodermal cells. Based on results with new marker lines, which enabled us to observe the process of bulb biogenesis, and analysis of the phenotypes of these mutants, we propose multiple mechanisms for bulb formation, one of which may be that used for formation of transvacuolar strands. 相似文献

Two related strains of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, one the parent and the other an L-form revertant, were studied for their propensity or ability to produce L-forms under the influence of penicillin. The parent strain produced L-forms in nutrient solid media in an osmolarity range between 0.85 and 5.0% NaCl concentration whereas the revertant strain did so between 0.5 and 3.0% NaCl concentration. When various hyperosmolar media were tried without penicillin, recovery of L-forms from the revertant strain was optimal at a salt concentration of 2.0%, whereas the parent strain occasionally produced a few L-forms on 3.0% salt medium only. The process of penicillin-induced transformation from bacteria to L-form followed an unusual morphological sequence, beginning with beading of the bacterial body, followed by disintegration into granules from which the L-form colony derived. No large bodies were seen during the initial process of L-form induction, but they evolved later from the original granules and had the potential to reproduce L-type growth. The spontaneous development of L-forms in hyperosmolar media had a different morphological sequence starting with elongation of the bacteria into filaments which later developed polar and central dilatations from which granules and L-type growth developed. The differences in biological behavior between these related bacterial strains suggest that the revertant strain developed new properties, probably of genetic origin. Consequently, the assumption that L-forms revert to the "parent" bacteria may not always be justified. It can be made only after the biological properties of the parent and the revertant organisms have been properly identified. 相似文献

Summary The present study deals with the localization and ultrastructure of S-100-immunoreactive cells in the human thymus. These immunoreactive cells are distributed mainly in the medulla with some scattered elements in the cortex. Electron-microscopic observation revealed that the cells are characterized by an irregularly shaped nucleus, tubulovesicular structures in the cytoplasm and characteristic interdigitations of the plasma membrane. The cells often embrace lymphocytes with their branched processes. On the basis of these morphological features, the immunostained elements were identified as interdigitating cells (IDCs). The immunocytochemistry for S-100 visualizes the precise distribution and extension of the IDCs under the light microscope and indicates that the IDCs form no structural networks such as those established by the thymic epithelial cells. Since the IDCs in human lymph nodes have also been reported to contain S-100-like immunoreactivity, S-100 protein can be regarded as a useful marker for identifying the IDCs in the human thymus and other lymphoid organs. 相似文献

The endoplasmic reticulum-localized transmembrane glycoprotein NSP4 of rotavirus is a key protein involved in rotavirus cytopathology. We have used a dual-recombinant vaccinia virus system to express NSP4 in monkey kidney epithelial cells at a level comparable to that observed during rotavirus infection. Expression of NSP4 results in loss of plasma membrane integrity, which can be demonstrated by release of both 51Cr and lactate dehydrogenase into the medium. The cytotoxic behavior of NSP4 is dose dependent, and morphological analysis reveals gross changes to cell ultrastructure, indicative of cell death. Thus, intracellular expression of a single rotavirus protein which localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane has profound effects on the stability of the plasma membrane and cell viability. Analysis of NSP4 deletion mutants indicates that a membrane-proximal region located within the cytoplasmic domain may mediate cytotoxicity. 相似文献
