متن کاملRole of class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase during programmed nuclear death of Tetrahymena thermophila
Programmed nuclear death (PND) in the ciliate protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila is a novel type of autophagy that occurs during conjugation, in which only the parental somatic macronucleus is destined to die and is then eliminated from the progeny cytoplasm. Other coexisting nuclei, however, such as new micro- and macronuclei are unaffected. PND starts with condensation in the nucleus followed ...
متن کاملRole of ATG8 and autophagy in programmed nuclear degradation in Tetrahymena thermophila.
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for the degradation of cellular components, but its role in enucleation during differentiation has not been established. Tetrahymena thermophila is a unicellular eukaryote with two functionally distinct nuclei, the somatic (macro-) and the germ line (micro-) nuclei. These nuclei are produced during sexual reproduction (conjugation), which invol...
متن کاملProgrammed death in bacteria.
Programmed cell death (PCD) in bacteria plays an important role in developmental processes, such as lysis of the mother cell during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis and lysis of vegetative cells in fruiting body formation of Myxococcus xanthus. The signal transduction pathway leading to autolysis of the mother cell includes the terminal sporulation sigma factor Esigma(K), which induces the synt...
متن کاملTudor nuclease genes and programmed DNA rearrangements in Tetrahymena thermophila.
Proteins containing a Tudor domain and domains homologous to staphylococcal nucleases are found in a number of eukaryotes. These "Tudor nucleases" have been found to be associated with the RNA-induced silencing complex (A. A. Caudy, R. F. Ketting, S. M. Hammond, A. M. Denli, A. M. Bathoorn, B. B. Tops, J. M. Silva, M. M. Myers, G. J. Hannon, and R. H. Plasterk, Nature 425:411-414, 2003). We hav...
