Translational control of regA, a key gene controlling cell differentiation in Volvox carteri.
The complete division of labour between the reproductive and somatic cells of the green alga Volvox carteri is controlled by three types of genes. One of these is the regA gene, which controls terminal differentiation of the somatic cells. Here, we examined translational control elements located in the 5' UTR of regA, particularly the eight upstream start codons (AUGs) that have to be bypassed ...
متن کاملControl of differentiation in volvox carteri: a model explaining pattern formation during embryogenesis.
The green flagellate J’olvox is a simple muhicellular organism having only two kinds of cells, somatic and reproductive. The cells are arranged on the periphery of a spheroid. Asexual individu~s of I’olvox carten’ are composed of 2000-4000 somatic cells and about 16 large reproductive cells (gonidia), located in the posterior region of the spheroid. Mature asexual spheroids show a very regular ...
متن کاملSexual Induction in Volvox Carteri
The study of the dependence of reactions on the concentration of various compounds is often of great value in determining reaction mechanisms . In chemical kinetics, it is often found that, according to van't Hoff's rule, the order of dependence of a reaction on the concentration of some compound involved in that reaction is equal to the number of molecules of the compound involved in each reac...
متن کاملA Preliminary Genetic Investigation of VOLVOX CARTERI.
A preliminary genetic analysis of a number of genetic variants of Volvox carteri f. nagariensis is presented. Techniques are outlined for mutagenesis of Volvox, isolation of mutants and routine genetic analysis. All of the mutants show simple Mendelian segregation patterns and have been tentatively placed in 14 linkage groups.
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
