Chromodomain protein Tcd1 is required for macronuclear genome rearrangement and repair in Tetrahymena
The survival of an organism's progeny depends on the maintenance of its genome. Programmed DNA rearrangement and repair in Tetrahymena occur during the differentiation of the developing somatic macronuclear genome from the germ line micronuclear genome. Tetrahymena chromodomain protein (Tcd1) exhibited dynamic localization from the parental to the developing macronuclei. In the developing macro...
متن کاملA germline-limited piggyBac transposase gene is required for precise excision in Tetrahymena genome rearrangement
Developmentally programmed genome rearrangement accompanies differentiation of the silent germline micronucleus into the transcriptionally active somatic macronucleus in the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila. Internal eliminated sequences (IES) are excised, followed by rejoining of MAC-destined sequences, while fragmentation occurs at conserved chromosome breakage sequences, generating...
متن کاملA developmentally regulated gene, ASI2, is required for endocycling in the macronuclear anlagen of Tetrahymena.
Ciliated protozoa contain two types of nuclei, germ line micronuclei (Mic) and transcriptionally active macronuclei (Mac). During sexual reproduction, the parental Mac degenerates and a new Mac develops from a mitotic product of the zygotic Mic. Macronuclear development involves extensive endoreplication of the genome. The present study shows that endoreplication of macronuclear DNA in Tetrahym...
متن کاملLIA5 Is Required for Nuclear Reorganization and Programmed DNA Rearrangements Occurring during Tetrahymena Macronuclear Differentiation
During macronuclear differentiation of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, genome-wide DNA rearrangements eliminate nearly 50 Mbp of germline derived DNA, creating a streamlined somatic genome. The transposon-like and other repetitive sequences to be eliminated are identified using a piRNA pathway and packaged as heterochromatin prior to their removal. In this study, we show that LIA5, which e...
متن کاملTetrahymena macronuclear genome mapping: colinearity Of macronuclear coassortment groups and the micronuclear map on chromosome 1l.
The genetics of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila are richer than for most other eukaryotic cells, because Tetrahymena possesses two genomes: a germline (micronuclear) genome that follows a Mendelian model of genetic transmission and a somatic (macronuclear) genome, derived from the micronuclear genome by fragmentation, which follows a different genetic transmission model called phenotypic as...
