Cell-cell interactions trigger the rapid induction of a specific high mobility group-like protein during early stages of conjugation in Tetrahymena.

Abstract:

:Conjugation in Tetrahymena represents an ordered developmental pathway which represents the sexual phase of the ciliate life cycle. This pathway is initiated when starved cells of opposite mating types are mixed and are allowed to make a series of cell-cell contacts (a period termed costimulation) which lead to the formation of mating pairs. Here, we demonstrate that two previously described abundant high mobility group (HMG)-like proteins, HMG B and HMG C, whose synthesis appeared to be coordinately regulated in vegetative cells, are not required during the same stages of conjugation. The level of mRNA for both HMG B and HMG C is high during vegetative growth and during the development of new macronuclei. However, specific induction of HMG B mRNA is observed soon after cells of opposite mating types are mixed. Thus, the genes which encode HMG B and HMG C in Tetrahymena can be controlled independently or coordinately. Nuclear run-on experiments show that a significant factor underlying the rapid induction of HMG B message early in the sexual cycle is an increase in the transcriptional activity of the HMG B gene. Experiments are presented which show that this induction of HMG B message requires protein synthesis and is dependent upon the cell-cell contacts made during costimulation. Essentially all of the HMG B protein, which is newly synthesized during this period, is targeted to parental macronuclei where it serves an as yet undetermined function(s).
