The Membrane Potential of Acetabularia mediterranea
The cytoplasm of an Acetabularia cell is normally at a potential of about -170 mv relative to the external solution; the vacuole is also at this potential. Although there is strict flux equilibrium for all ions, the potential is more negative than the Nernst potentials of any of the permeating ions. Darkness, CCCP, low temperature, and reducing [Cl(-)](o) by a factor of 25 all rapidly depolariz...
متن کاملChloroplast membranes of the green alga Acetabularia mediterranea. II. Topography of the chloroplast membrane
The localization of the chlorophyll-protein complexes inside the thylakoid membrane of Acetabularia mediterranea was determined by fractionating the chloroplast membrane with EDTA and Triton X-100, by using pronase treatment, and by labeling the surface-exposed proteins with 125I. The effects of the various treatments were established by electrophoresis of the solubilized membrane fractions and...
متن کاملNucleic acid synthesis in the chloroplasts of Acetabularia mediterranea.
Radioautographic and radiochemical techniques were used to establish the presence of replicating DNA in the chloroplasts of Acetabularia mediterranea. These techniques also demonstrated that these chloroplasts synthesize RNA. It was found that label from thymine was also incorporated into DNA and RNA in these chloroplasts. With the establishment of protein and nucleic acid synthesis in Acetabul...
متن کاملMorphology of nucleolar cistrons in a plant cell, Acetabularia mediterranea.
The structural organization of transcriptionally active DNA that contains cistrons for precursor molecules of ribosomal RNA is described in positively stained spread preparations from nuclei and nucleoli isolated from the green alga, Acetabularia mediterranea Lmx. These nuclei contain large aggregates of nucleolar subunits in which fibril-covered regions, the putative active cistrons for precur...
متن کاملInvolvement of bristle coat structures in surface membrane formations and membrane interactions during coenocytotomic cleavage in caps of Acetabularia mediterranea
In the multinucleate cap rays of the green alga Acetabularia mediterranea the cell surface increases dramatically within a short time period during the final stages of coenocytotomic cleavage. In early stages of cyst formation the cytoplast is traversed by numerous large and prolate cleavage vesicles which are characterized by typical columellar or spinous coat structures. The cleavage vesicles...
