Is the initiation of macronuclear DNA synthesis in Euplotes dependent on micronuclear functions?

Abstract:

:To determine whether the micronucleus makes essential contributions during asexual reproduction, observations were made on cells of Euplotes octocarinatus from which the micronucleus had been removed with a micropipette. Most cells underwent one postenucleation division, then became arrested in macronuclear G1, slowed down in food uptake, developed macronuclear deformations, and finally died. Such cells could be rescued if a micronucleus was reimplanted before macronuclear deformations had developed. When provided with a new micronucleus, cells initiated macronuclear DNA synthesis about 12-16 h later. The data suggest that the micronucleus is involved in the control of the cell's transition from macronuclear G1 to S, and a model is proposed which postulates that in Euplotes macronuclear DNA synthesis is initiated when a micronucleus-encoded "initiator protein" has accumulated to a critical amount.
