Cleavage and blastoderm formation in Coelopa frigida are extremely rapid developmental processes. In short (6–7 minutes) successive cell cycles, nuclei multiply and spread out through the egg. The movement seems to be aided by endoplasmic vesicles and cisternae which are in direct contact with the nuclear membrane. The first cells to separate from the egg plasmodium in early superficial cleavage stages are the pole cells. Precursor material from multivesicular bodies forms the pole cell membranes. The primary nuclei from the posterior pole region are removed from the blastoderm by the pole cell segregation. Blastoderm nuclei from the regions adjacent to the posterior pole migrate into the residual periplasm after pole cell segregation has been completed and constitute the blastoderm nuclei in that region of the egg. Nucleoli are not revealed during internal cleavage. They appear in pole cells shortly after their segregation. The generation time of the blastoderm nuclei increases after the twelfth cleavage. Concurrently, nucleoli form in the blastoderm nuclei and permanent cell membranes separate individual blastoderm cells. After blastoderm cells have been separated from each other, they remain in contact with the interior yolk sac by means of cytoplasmic canals. This contact is maintained at least during the early phases of blastokinesis. Observations on nuclear migration and rapid membrane formation are discussed as examples of protein assembly from subunits as an alternative to de novo protein synthesis in early stages of development. 相似文献

In the Ceratitis capitata embryo, furrow formation follows the last mitosis divisions and leads to cellular blastoderm formation. This process displays several interesting features and requires the participation of bundles of microfilaments which are located at the furrow base at the onset of cytokinesis and contract synchronously, determining furrow growth. The new membranes for furrow growth seem to be largely provided by the fusion of many vesicles. Surface projections do not appear to contribute significantly to this phenomenon. At the end of cytokinesis the microfilaments are sandwiched between the plasma membrane and cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum. Subsequently the microfilaments disappear from the cytoplasmic side of the membrane but remain beneath the membranes of the connections and at the periphery of the yolk sack until gastrulation. On the basis of these observations some ultrastructural aspects of furrow formation and the role that the microfilaments may play during this process are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract Each pigment-cup eye of Mesostoma ehrenbergi consists of two photoreceptor cells, the anterior cell being bilobate. the posterior almost linear, and of a multicellular pigment cup. The nuclei of the photoreceptor cells are located inside the medial region of the brain. Thin cytoplasmic photoreceptor projections provided with neurosecretory-like granules are interposed between the inner surface of the eye cup and the distal extremity of the microvilli. The breakdown and renewal of microvillar membranes was analysed. Membrane turnover is a continuous process. At dusk and during the night abscission of photoreceptive membranes occurs. At dawn the membrane fragments are degraded to granular material, which is then endocytosed into the submicrovillar cytoplasm as coated vesicles. These vesicles form multivesicular bodies. The degradation of multivesicular body content occurs during the following light hours. The dark period is correlated with membrane synthesis for elongation of reticular membranes, which are converted into ellipsoid bodies. The formation of new microvillar membranes occurs at the base of the microvillar border, and involves the fusion with the old microvillar membranes of small vesicles detached from the tubular endoplasmic membranes and from the flattened concentric cisternae of ellipsoid bodies. The correlations with daily cycles of other invertebrates are discussed. 相似文献

We report evidence to suggest that during the first few meroblastic cell divisions in zebrafish embryos a dynamic population of central-spindle microtubules serve a crucial function in positioning the cleavage furrow at the surface of the blastoderm. Originating from the mid-zone of the mitotic spindle they develop into what we term a mid-spindle 'pre-furrowing microtubule array' that expands upward and outward from the spindle mid-zone towards the blastodisc surface. We suggest that this structure transmits positional information to the blastodisc cortex that results in the correctly positioned assembly of the cytokinetic contractile apparatus. We also propose that the pre-furrowing microtubule array then develops into a furrow-ingression microtubule array that helps direct and assemble the deepening furrow as it cuts its way through the blastodisc. Due to the location of its origin, the pre-furrowing microtubule array serves to successfully separate the daughter nuclei and thus equally divide the blastoderm. Furthermore, co-localization with elements of the cortical endoplasmic reticulum and their inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors suggests that the pre-furrowing microtubule array may also play a role in organizing localized Ca2+ transients that have been shown to be essential to the furrow positioning, propagation and deepening process during cytokinesis in zebrafish embryos. 相似文献

Synopsis The relative thickness of intracellular membranes of epithelial cells in the ventral lobe of the rat prostrate was measured by a densitometric method. Glutaraldehyde perfusion followed by ruthenium tetroxide immersion fixation appeared to be the most suitable method for membrane thickness measurements. By thickness, the membranes could be roughly subdivided into three groups. The inner and outer membranes of the mitochondrion made up the thinnest membranes of the cell. The second group of membranes consisted of the membranes of the rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, the different faces of the latter organelle, and the Golgi vesicles. The thickest group of membranes included those of the cell membrane, secretory granules, condensing vacuoles, lysosomes, autophagic vacuoles and multivesicular bodies. The differences in thickness of the membranes are probably due to the varying protein/lipid ratio, and the qualities and proportions of the different lipids in the membranes. 相似文献

Summary The eggs of the gall midgeHeteropeza pygmaea develop parthenogenetically inside of the mother larva. They lack a chorion and remain enveloped by the follicular epithelium. After experimental elimination of the follicular epithelium naked eggs are formed, which reach the blastoderm stage but remain spherical instead of assuming an elongated shape. To analyze this peculiar egg development and the roles of egg shape and envelope during development, the ultrastructure of cleaving normal and naked eggs was investigated. It was shown that the number of elements of Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum strongly increases during early cleavage. Their association with cleavage furrows and nuclei suggests that these organelles play a dominant role in membrane production. Egg yolk consists of lipids and glycogen, wheareas no proteins are found. Cleaving eggs contain numerous vesicles with lysosomal characteristics, indicating intense autophagic processes. Cleavage furrow formation occurs independently from the positioning of cleavage nuclei. The numerous microtubules, which are associated with cleavage furrows and nuclei and located in the egg periphery, the intercellular bridges, and in the central part of the egg, suggest that the cytoskeleton has an important role in cleavage furrow formation, blastoderm layer establishment, and yolk localization. Since these processes are accurately accomplished in naked spherical eggs, they can be considered as independent of normal egg shape and the follicular epithelium. 相似文献

Cell division inCarteria crucifera (chlorophyta): The role of the endomembrane system and phycoplast
D. S. Domozych 《Protoplasma》1987,136(2-3):170-182
Summary Phycoplast-mediated cytokinesis in the primitive green algal flagellate,Carteria crucifera, has been examined by electron microscopy. The key developmental foci during cell division are mobile centriole-MTOCs which control mitotic spindle formation, the establishment of the plane of cytokinesis, the initiation of the cytokinetic furrow, the formation of the phycoplast and the formation of morphogenetic microtubular arrays. The cytokinetic cleavage mechanism entails an ingressive furrowing closely associated with a prolific network of internuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Dictyosome activity is limited to the cleavage initiation zone and is responsible for the production of wall precursor-containing vesicles. Dictyosome materials do not contribute directly to the growing furrow edge. Potassium antimonate staining patterns reveal the cytokinetic ER as a storage/control site for calcium during cytokinesis. Discussion of possible models concerning this cytokinetic mechanism is presented. 相似文献

Dynamics of the nuclear envelope and of nuclear pore complexes during mitosis in the Drosophila embryo 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Early embryonic development in Drosophila melanogaster is marked by a series of thirteen very rapid (10-15 min) and highly synchronous nuclear divisions, the last four of which occur just beneath the embryo surface. A total of some 6000 blastoderm nuclei result, which are subsequently enclosed by furrow membranes to form the cellular blastoderm. We have examined the fine structure of nuclear division in late syncytial embryos. The mitotic spindle forms adjacent to the nuclear envelope on the side facing the embryo surface. During prophase, astral microtubules deform the nuclear envelope which then ruptures at the poles at the onset of prometaphase. The nuclear envelope remains essentially intact elsewhere throughout mitosis. A second envelope begins to form around the nuclear envelope in prometaphase and is completed by metaphase; the entire double layered structure, referred to as the spindle envelope, persists through early in the ensuing interphase. Pole cell spindles are enclosed by identical spindle envelopes. Interphase and prophase nuclei contain nuclear pore complexes (PCs) of standard dimensions and morphology. In prometaphase PCs become much less electron-dense, although they retain their former size and shape. By metaphase, no semblance of PC structure remains, and instead, both layers of the spindle envelope are interrupted by numerous irregular fenestrae. PCs are presumably disassembled into their component parts during mitosis, and reassembled subsequently. Yolk nuclei remain among the central yolk mass when most nuclei migrate to the surface, cease to divide, yet become polyploid. These nuclei nonetheless lose and regain PCs in synchrony with the dividing blastoderm nuclei. In addition, they gain and lose a second fenestrated membrane layer with the same timing. Cytoplasmic membranes containing PCs (annulate lamellae) also lose and regain pores in synchrony with the two classes of nuclear envelopes. The factors that affect the integrity of PCs in dividing blastoderm nuclei appear to affect those in other membrane systems to an equivalent degree and with identical timing. 相似文献

Summary In order to study the synthesis and degradation processes of the photoreceptor membranes in the abalone, Nordotis discus, the localization of acyltransferase and acid hydrolase activities, respectively, were determined at the electron-microscopic level. Acyltransferase activity was localized on the cytoplasmic sides of thick (>10 nm) membranes of the following organelles: a few cisternae at the trans (or concave) side of Golgi apparatus, Golgi and probably related vesicles, short tubules, curved pentalaminar disks and limiting membranes of the phagosomal multivesicular bodies; all organelles were scattered in the peri- to supranuclear cytoplasm. The phospholipids, which are major components of the photoreceptor membrane, are considered to be synthesized by these membranes. Acid phosphatase activity was localized in the lumina of Golgi cisternae and vesicles, lysosomes, and smaller multivesicular and related bodies, but not in multilamellar bodies. The matrices of the larger multivesicular bodies and of the pigment granule complexes showed arylsulfatase activity. Vesiculated and autophagocytosed photoreceptor microvilli seemed to be degraded by acid hydrolases, forming multivesicular and related bodies. Supporting cells also showed acyltransferase and acid hydrolase activities.Abbreviations used in this Paper AcP

We provide a 3D ultrastructural analysis of the membrane systems involved in tip growth of rhizoids of the green alga Chara. Electron tomography of cells preserved by high-pressure freeze fixation has enabled us to distinguish six different types
of vesicles in the apical cytoplasm where the tip growth machinery is accommodated. The vesicle types are: dark and light
secretory vesicles, plasma membrane-associated clathrin-coated vesicles (PM-CCVs), Spitzenkoerper-associated clathrin-coated
vesicles (Sp-CCVs) and coated vesicles (Sp-CVs), and microvesicles. Each of these vesicle types exhibits a distinct distribution
pattern, which provides insights into their possible function for tip growth. The PM-CCVs are confined to the cytoplasm adjacent
to the apical plasma membrane. Within this space they are arranged in clusters often surrounding tubular plasma membrane invaginations
from which CCVs bud. This suggests that endocytosis and membrane recycling are locally confined to specialized apical endocytosis
sites. In contrast, exocytosis of secretory vesicles occurs over the entire membrane area of the apical dome. The Sp-CCVs
and the Sp-CVs are associated with the aggregate of endoplasmic reticulum membranes in the center of the growth-organizing
Spitzenkoerper complex. Here, Sp-CCVs are seen to bud from undefined tubular membranes. The subapical region of rhizoids contains
a vacuolar reticulum that extends along the longitudinal cell axis and consists of large, vesicle-like segments interconnected
by thin tubular domains. The tubular domains are encompassed by thin filamentous structures resembling dynamin spirals which
could drive peristaltic movements of the vacuolar reticulum similar to those observed in fungal hyphae. The vacuolar reticulum
appears to serve as a lytic compartment into which multivesicular bodies deliver their internal vesicles for molecular recycling
and degradation.

Summary Studies of differentiating xylem inSalix fragilis L. show the immediate cambial derivatives to be ultrastructurally similar. The Golgi apparatus is important at all stages of wall synthesis, possibly producing (amongst other substances) hemicellulose material which is carried to the wall in vesicles or multivesicular bodies. The endoplasmic reticulum also contributes one or more components to the developing wall: at some stages during differentiation the endoplasmic reticulum produces electron opaque bodies which appear to be guided towards the wall by microtubules. Compact structures formed from concentric membranes (myelin-like bodies) have been found joined to rough endoplasmic reticulum, but their presence is not explained.Two types of plasmalemma elaboration occur: invagination of the plasmalemma itself to form vesicles which may contain cytoplasmic material; and vesicles between the plasmalemma and cell wall which are the result of single vesicles or multivesicular bodies traversing the plasmalemma. Both systems provide a means for transporting cytoplasmic material across the plasmalemma.Microtubules have been seen associated with all vesicles derived from the cytoplasm which appear to be moving towards the wall. The presence of microtubules may generally be explained in terms of orientation of vesicles, even if they also happen coincidentally to parallel the supposed orientation of microfibrils in the wall itself. It is possible to resolve connections between the microtubules and the plasmalemma. 相似文献

Summary. The ultrastructure of mitosis and cytokinesis in Scytosiphon lomentaria (Lyngbye) Link zygotes was studied by freeze fixation and substitution. During mitosis, the nuclear envelope remained mostly
intact. Spindle microtubules (MTs) from the centrosome passed through the gaps of the nuclear envelope and entered the nucleoplasm.
In anaphase and telophase, two daughter chromosome masses were partially surrounded with endoplasmic reticulum. After telophase,
the nuclear envelope was reconstructed and two daughter nuclei formed. Then, several large vacuoles occupied the space between
the daughter nuclei. MTs from the centrosomes extended toward the mid-plane between two daughter nuclei, among the vacuoles.
At that time, Golgi bodies near the centrosome actively produced many vesicles. Midway between the daughter nuclei, small
globular vesicles and tubular cisternae accumulated. These vesicles derived from Golgi bodies were transported from the centrosome
to the future division plane. Cytokinesis then proceeded by fusion of these vesicles, but not by a furrowing of the plasma
membrane. After completion of the continuity with the plasma membrane, cell wall material was deposited between the plasma
membranes. The tubular cisternae were still observed at the periphery of the newly formed septum. Microfilaments could not
be observed by this procedure. We conclude that cytokinesis in the brown algae proceeds by fusion of Golgi vesicles and tubular
cisternae, not by a furrowing of the plasma membrane.

Peak-to-peak distances between two dense lines of the unit membranes of cell organelles were measured on electron micrographs. These distances were compared with corresponding measurements on the plasma membrane and assigned a percentage value. The comparison between organelle and plasma membrane was always carried out with the same negative, in order to exclude as far as possible errors due to differences in focus or other causes. It was revealed by this study that the membranous structures of the cell can be classified into two groups, one thicker and one thinner. Unit membranes of the thicker group (synaptic vesicles, vesicles and capsules of multivesicular bodies, Golgi vesicles) were not significantly different in thickness from the plasma membrane. Unit membranes of the thinner group (mitochondria, nuclear membranes, Golgi lamellae, endoplasmic reticulum), however, were between 85 and 90 per cent of the thickness of the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Abstract. In the Calliphora blastoderm, cytokinesis is preceded, during the final cleavage mitosis, by a radical surface remodelling which leads to the initiation of cytokinetic furrows. The egg is initially covered with oval surface bulges, each of which contains a mitotic nucleus. The shallow furrows between these bulges are then retracted and replaced by smooth membrane areas. Concomitantly, the remnants of the bulges become covered with large numbers of microprojections, and each bulge splits into two new bulges. The new bulges then increase in size, and cytokinetic furrows appear between them. At this point, the nuclei have also divided and reached interphase. During the first 60 min of cytokinesis, the plasma-membrane area of the egg is increased by the growth of surface microprojections; however, the furrows grow very slowly. During the final 30 min of cytokinesis, the surface becomes almost perfectly smooth, and the furrows grow very rapidly, As a result, cytokinesis is almost complete, and a columnar blastodermal epithelium is formed. Thus, surface microprojections play an essential role in cytokinesis. Plasma membrane utilized for furrow extension is apparently provided by the unfolding of these microprojections. In addition, filamentous microprojections may play an active part in the remodelling of the surface. 相似文献

The nuclear envelope (NE) breaks down reversibly and reassembles at mitosis. Two models of mitotic nuclear membrane disassembly and reformation have emerged from studies of NE dynamics in somatic cells and egg extracts. One model suggests that nuclear membranes fragment reversibly by vesiculation, producing NE-derived vesicles separate from the endoplasmic reticulum. The second model proposes that nuclear membranes vanish by diffusion of their integral proteins through a continuous endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we discuss critically the grounds for the elaboration of these apparently mutually exclusive views. Our conclusions favour a model in which nuclear membranes do not vesiculate during mitosis. 相似文献

Morphology of the granular secretory glands in skin of poison-dart frogs (Dendrobatidae) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The granular glands of nine species of dendrobatid frogs were examined using light and electron microscopy. The glands are surrounded by a discontinuous layer of smooth muscle cells. Within the glands proper the secretory cells form a true syncytium. Multiple flattened nuclei lie at the periphery of the gland. The peripheral cytoplasm also contains mitochondria, rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and an abundance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Centrally, most of the gland is filled with membrane-bound granules surrounded by amorphous cytoplasm. Few other organelles are found in this region. Early in the secretory cycle, the central part of the gland is filled with flocculent material which appears to be progressively partitioned off by membranes to form the droplet anlage. As granules form, the structure of the contents becomes progressively more vesicular. Dense vesicles, which bud off from the Golgi apparatus, fuse with the granular membrane during the development of granules, and might contain enzymes involved in toxin synthesis. The granules at this point resemble multivesicular bodies. Their structure is similar in all species of dendrobatid frogs even though the different frogs secrete substances of different chemical structure and toxicity. 相似文献

Sorcin, a protein overexpressed in many multi-drug resistant cancers, dynamically localizes to distinct subcellular sites in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts during cell-cycle progression. During interphase sorcin is in the nucleus, in the plasma membrane, in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae, and in ER-derived vesicles localized along the microtubules. These vesicles are positive to RyR, SERCA, calreticulin and Rab10. At the beginning of mitosis, sorcin-containing vesicles associate with the mitotic spindle, and during telophase are concentrated in the cleavage furrow and, subsequently, in the midbody. Sorcin regulates dimensions and calcium load of the ER vesicles by inhibiting RYR and activating SERCA. Analysis of sorcin interactome reveals calcium-dependent interactions with many proteins, including Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), Aurora A and Aurora B kinases. Sorcin interacts physically with PLK1, is phosphorylated by PLK1 and induces PLK1 autophosphorylation, thereby regulating kinase activity. Knockdown of sorcin results in major defects in mitosis and cytokinesis, increase in the number of rounded polynucleated cells, blockage of cell progression in G2/M, apoptosis and cell death. Sorcin regulates calcium homeostasis and is necessary for the activation of mitosis and cytokinesis. 相似文献

The fertilized eggs of Tetrodontophora bielanensis start to cleave 6 to 8 days after oviposition and initially only karyokineses occur. The cytokinesis begins after two karyokineses, when four nuclei are observed in the ooplasm. Two cleavage furrows, perpendicular to each other, appear simultaneously at the egg poles where polar bodies are located and gradually the furrows encompass the whole egg diameter. The furrow formation is initiated by the bundle of microfilaments that contract and pull superficial fragments of the oolemma into the yolk and subsequently new membranes, separating the daughter cells, start to form. However, they do not grow towards the egg centre but bifurcate, leaving the central part of the ooplasm outside of the newly formed blastomeres. Starting from the fourth or fifth cleavage division, the bifurcations permanently occur and multiple cleavage furrows are formed on the embryo surface. Moreover, fragments of the ooplasm, enclosed within the cell membrane but devoid of cell nucleus are observed. During further development such cell fragments become reincorporated into the embryo. This mode of cleavage leads eventually to the formation of cellular blastoderm on the embryo surface. The results presented in the paper suggest that the control of cleavage in T. bielanensis acts not at the level of cytoplasmic determinants but rather at the level of positional information of blastomeres. 相似文献

In chicken, three structurally distinct nuclear lamin proteins have been described. According to their migration on two-dimensional gels, these proteins have been designated as lamins A, B1, and B2. To investigate the functional relationship between chicken lamins and their mammalian counterparts, we have examined here the state of individual chicken lamin proteins during mitosis. Current models proposing functional specializations of mammalian lamin subtypes are in fact largely based on the observation that during mitosis mammalian lamin B remains associated with membrane vesicles, whereas lamins A and C become freely soluble. Cell fractionation experiments combined with immunoblotting show that during mitosis both chicken lamins B1 and B2 remain associated with membranes, whereas lamin A exists in a soluble form. In situ immunoelectron microscopy carried out on mitotic cells also reveals membrane association of lamin B2, whereas the distribution of lamin A is random. From these results we conclude that both chicken lamins B1 and B2 may functionally resemble mammalian lamin B. Interestingly, immunolabeling of mitotic cells revealed an association of lamin B2 with extended membrane cisternae that resembled elements of the endoplasmic reticulum. Quantitatively, we found that all large endoplasmic reticulum-like membranes present in metaphase cells were decorated with lamin B2-specific antibodies. Given that labeling of these mitotic membranes was lower than labeling of interphase nuclear envelopes, it appears likely that during mitotic disassembly and reassembly of the nuclear envelope lamin B2 may reversibly distribute between the inner nuclear membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Normal and centrifuged hyphae of Neurospora were studied with the electron microscope. The following cell structures could be identified: nuclei with nucleoli, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, glycogen, fat bodies, vacuoles, and vesicles with an inner canalicular system, of unknown nature. In centrifuged hyphae, the glycogen layer appeared as a light area, with a slight indication of granular structure. The ribosome layer consisted of densely packed ribosomes without any membranes. The mitochondrial layer contained spaces filled with ribosomes. The nuclei were loosely packed, with endoplasmic reticulum between them. The "enchylema" layer was composed of vesicles belonging to the endoplasmic reticulum. The vacuolar layer was poorly preserved and consisted of double-walled vesicles. Fat appeared as stellate osmiophilic droplets. These observations were compared with previous observations under the optical microscope and their meaning for cell physiology was discussed. 相似文献
