Nucleated assembly of Chlamydomonas and Volvox cell walls
The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell wall is made up of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, arranged in five distinct layers. The W6 (crystalline) layer contains three major glycoproteins (GP1, GP2, GP3), selectively extractable with chaotropic agents, that self-assemble into crystals in vitro. A system to study W6 assembly in a quantitative fashion was developed that employs perchlorate-extracted...
متن کاملlsodityrosine Cross-Linking Mediates lnsolubilization of Cell Walls in Chlamydomonas
Enzymatic removal of the cell wall induces vegetative Chlamydomonas relnhardtli cells to transcrlbe wall genes and synthesire new hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) related to the extensins found in higher plant cell walls. A cDNA expression library made from such induced cells was screened with antibodies to an ollgopeptide containing the (SP), repetitive domains found in Chlamydomonas ...
متن کاملIsodityrosine cross-linking mediates insolubilization of cell walls in Chlamydomonas.
Enzymatic removal of the cell wall induces vegetative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells to transcribe wall genes and synthesize new hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) related to the extensins found in higher plant cell walls. A cDNA expression library made from such induced cells was screened with antibodies to an oligopeptide containing the (SP)x repetitive domains found in Chlamydomonas ...

متن کاملVolvox, rolling out from under the shadow of Chlamydomonas with support from the AGA.
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a science superstar. This diminutive green alga with 1 cell and 2 lively flagella, and the nickname Chlamy, consistently punches above its weight in the arena of big research (Harris 2001). When not basking in freshwater ponds, it is found in laboratory beakers, helping researchers answer essential questions about the evolution and physiology of cells. In 2007, Chla...
