Molecular characterization of a zygote wall protein: an extensin-like molecule in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii elaborates two biochemically and morphologically distinct cell walls during its life cycle: one surrounds the vegetative and gametic cell and the other encompasses the zygote. Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) constitute a major component of both walls. We describe the isolation and characterization of a zygote-specific gene encoding a wall HRGP....
متن کاملInvestigation of an Optimized Context for the Expression of GFP as a Reporter Gene in Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
Background: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a novel recombinant eukaryotic expression system with many advantages including fast growth rate, rapid scalability, absence of human pathogens and the ability to fold and assemble complex proteins accurately, however, obstacle relatively low expression level necessitates optimizing foreign gene expression in this system. The Green Fluorescent Protein (G...
متن کاملStress-induced protein synthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Following exposure to UV light the synthesis of six polypeptides (112, 100, 89, 76, 71 and 65 kDa) was found to be enhanced or induced in the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Treatment with 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (NQO) resulted in the enhanced/induced synthesis of six polypeptides with molecular masses similar to those enhanced following exposure to UV light. Heat shock resulted in the enhance...
متن کاملRapid transformation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii without cell-wall removal.
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is widely used to study many biological processes including biofuel production. Here, we present a rapid transformation technique for cell-walled Chlamydomonas strains without cell-wall removal using a square electric pulses-generating electroporator. This method could be applied to transformation of other industrially useful algae by optimizing the electric conditions.
متن کاملIdentification and molecular characterization of a novel Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutant defective in chlorophyll biosynthesis
The green micro-alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an elegant model organism to study all aspects of oxygenic photosynthesis. Chlorophyll (Chl) and heme are major tetrapyrroles that play an essential role in energy metabolism in photosynthetic organisms and are synthesized via a common branched tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway. One of the enzymes in the pathway is Mg chelatase (MgChel) which in...
