Nuclear morphology of yeast under thymidylate starvation.

Abstract:

:During early meiotic development the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a characteristic nuclear dense body (NDB). It is shown that the NDB can also be induced in vegetatively growing cells through the inhibition of thymidylate synthetase which causes depletion of the dTMP pool and arrests DNA synthesis. The observations on NDBs and recombination levels suggest that thymidylate-stressed cells may activate parts of the meiotic pathway and, conversely, cells on sporulation medium may sense, among other things, reduced thymidylate levels and respond to the several stimuli by entering the meiotic pathway.

  • Proportional polyploidization of 5S RNA genes in the ovary of Drosophila melanogaster mutants containing three 5S RNA gene loci.

    abstract::The 5S RNA gene content of polyploid cells of the ovary of Drosophila melanogaster has been compared in animals with two or three gene clusters. The amount of 5S RNA genes is exactly proportional to the number of gene clusters as determined by DNA-RNA filter hybridization. In contrast, the number of rDNA genes in endo...
