Cell survival after UV radiation stress in the unicellular chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta is mediated by DNA repair and MAPK phosphorylation
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) induces damage in a variety of organisms, and cells may adapt by developing repair or tolerance mechanisms to counteract such damage; otherwise, the cellular fate is cell death. Here, the effect of UVR-induced cell damage and the associated signalling and repair mechanisms by which cells are able to survive was studied in Dunaliella tertiolecta. UVR did not cause cel...
متن کاملCell death in the unicellular chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta. A hypothesis on the evolution of apoptosis in higher plants and metazoans.
Apoptosis is essential for normal growth and development of multicellular organisms, including metazoans and higher plants. Although cell death processes have been reported in unicellular organisms, key elements of apoptotic pathways have not been identified. Here, we show that when placed in darkness, the unicellular chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta undergoes a form of cell death remini...
متن کاملEffect of inhibitors of protein synthesis and DNA replication on the induction of proteolytic activities, caspase-like activities and cell death in the unicellular chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta
When the chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta is placed in darkness, a form of programmed cell death with many similarities to apoptosis (including the induction of caspase-like proteases) is induced. Many uncertainties about this process remain, two of which are whether it requires protein synthesis and whether there is potential viral involvement. In order to examine the relationship betwe...
متن کاملArsenolipid biosynthesis by the unicellular alga Dunaliella tertiolecta is influenced by As/P ratio in culture experiments.
The influence of arsenate and phosphate levels in water on the formation of arsenic-containing lipids (arsenolipids) and water-soluble arsenicals by a unicellular marine alga was investigated by exposing Dunaliella tertiolecta to five regimes of arsenic and phosphate, and determining the biosynthesized organoarsenicals with HPLC/mass spectrometry. Under all conditions, the major arsenolipid pro...
متن کاملPlastid regulation of Lhcb1 transcription in the chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta.
We identify four novel DNA-binding complexes in the nuclear-encoded Lhcb1 promoter of the chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta that are regulated by photosynthetic pathways in the plastid. The binding activities of three of the complexes were positively correlated with time-dependent changes in Lhcb1 transcript abundance, implicating their roles as transcriptional enhancers in a retrograde s...
