Electron Microscopy of the Nuclear Membrane of Amoeba Proteus
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electron microscope study of the nuclear membrane of Amoeba proteus by thin sectioning techniques has revealed an ultrastructure in the outer layer of the membrane that is homologous to the pores and annuli observed in the nuclear membranes of many other cell types studied by these techniques. An inner honeycombed layer apparently unique to Amoeba proteus is also described.

Electron Microscopy of Mitosis in a Radiosensitive Giant Amoeba
Various aspects of the ultrastructure of the dividing nuclei in the large radiosensitive amoeba Pelomyxa illinoisensis are demonstrated. Evidence of nuclear envelope breakdown is presented, and membrane fragments are traced throughout metaphase to envelope reconstruction in anaphase and telophase. Annuli in the nuclear envelope and its fragments are shown throughout mitosis. During metaphase an...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Observations of Amoeba Proteus in Growth and Inanition
Electron microscopic observations have been made on growing and dividing specimens of Amoeba proteus and also on starving animals. Structures presumably corresponding to the mitochondria, alpha particles, vacuoles, and Golgi material are described. A new entity, designated as a foamy particle, is noted. Descriptions are given of the cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes. During division the inner, ...
متن کاملFilamentous Structures in Amoeba Proteus Visualized in Scanning Microscope.
The dynamic cytoskeleton in Amoeba proteus is a filamentous gel network, composed mainly of F-actin microfilaments accompanied by actin binding proteins, distributed in the peripheral cortex beneath the cell membrane and around the nucleus. As well the cell shape changes as the motility primarily depend on the activity of these structures. In contrast, the endoplasm of amoeba is commonly consid...
متن کاملCYTOPLASMIC FILAMENTS OF AMOEBA PROTEUS I. The Role of Filaments in Consistency Changes and Movement
The role of filaments in consistency changes and movement in a motile cytoplasmic extract of Amoeba proteus was investigated by correlating light and electron microscopic observations with viscosity measurements. The extract is prepared by the method of Thompson and Wolpert (1963) . At 0 °C, this extract is nonmotile and similar in structure to ameba cytoplasm, consisting of groundplasm, vesicl...

While Amoeba proteus has long been the subject of extensive cytological and cytochemical studies, investigations with the electron microscope have been limited principally to the nuclear membrane (1-3). The observations reported herein were made in the course of studies intended to correlate cytochemistry (4) with knowledge of fine structure obtained with the electron microscope. I t is felt th...
