    Notes: The sequences of a 1.8-kbp macronuclear DNA molecule (V3), and the majority of its micronuclear counterpart, are reported. The macronuclear V3 DNA molecule contains an open reading frame that is interrupted by a single intron, while the micronuclear copy is interrupted by four internal eliminated sequences, one of which is located within the intron. The predicted protein product of the macronuclear V3 gene is a 471-amino acid polypeptide that is very similar to a group of protein-serine/threonine kinases from both plant and animal species, some of whose members appear to be involved in cell cycle or growth control.

    Notes: A 604-base pair macronuclear DNA molecule from the hypotrichous ciliate Euplotes crassus was cloned and its DNA sequence determined. The DNA sequence contains an open reading frame capable of encoding a protein 141 amino acids in length. The putative protein contains significant sequence similarity to other eukaryotic proteins, including the rat form-I phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C.

    Notes: . During macronuclear development in hypotrichous ciliated protozoans, several thousand macronuclear DNA molecules are amplified several-hundred fold. We investigated the regulation of this amplification by determining the copy numbers of three different macronuclear DNA molecules in the hypotrichous ciliate Euplotes crassus. Two of the macronuclear DNA molecules were present in approximately 1,000 copies per cell, while the third was present in approximately 6,500 copies per cell. These reiteration levels were achieved either during macronuclear development, or shortly thereafter, and were maintained during vegetative growth. The most abundant macronuclear DNA molecule is present as a single-copy sequence in the micronuclear genome. Thus, its high copy number results from differential amplification. These results indicate that DNA amplification during macronuclear development is regulated individually for each macronuclear DNA molecule.

    Notes: During it life cycle, the hypotrichous ciliate Oxytricha nova transforms a copy of its chromosomal micronucleus into a transcriptionally active macronucleus that contains linear, gene-sized DNA molecules. The process of macronuclear development involves chromosome fragmentation as well as elimination of large amounts of the micronuclear genome. To obtain a better understanding of the molecular details of this process, the micronuclear organization of a number of cloned macronuclear DNA molecules has been examined. These studies indicate two additional types of DNA rearrangement occur during, development. Specific sequences are added to the ends of macronuclear DNA molecules during development while other short blocks of sequences are removed from the bodies of macronuclear DNA molecules by a nucleic acid breakage and joining process. These studies also indicate that the precursors of macronuclear DNA molecules are clustered in the micronuclear chromosomes and imply the existence of large stretches of developmentally eliminated DNA.

    Notes: . Following mating or conjugation, the hypotrichous ciliate Euplotes crassus undergoes a massive genome reorganization process. While the nature of the rearrangement events has been well studied, little is known concerning proteins that carry out such processes. As a means of identifying such proteins, differential screening of a developmental cDNA library, as well as construction of a cDNA subtraction library, was used to isolate genes expressed only during sexual reproduction. Five different conjugation-specific genes have been identified that are maximally expressed early in conjugation, during the period of micronuclear meiosis, which is just prior to macronuclear development and the DNA rearrangement process. All five genes are retained in the mature macronucleus. Micronuclear, macronuclear, and cDNA clones of one gene (conZ47) have been sequenced, and the results indicate that the gene encodes a putative DNA binding protein. In addition, the presence of an internal eliminated sequence in the micronuclear copy of the conZ47 gene indicates that this conjugation-specific gene is transcribed from the old macronucleus.

    Notes: . The Euplotes crassus macronuclear DNA molecule containing the conjugation-specific conN1 gene has been sequenced, along with a cDNA clone. The results indicate that the conN1 gene encodes a protein similar to the transcription elongation factor TFIIS proteins identified in other eukaryotes.

    Notes: In Tetrahymena thermophila, an “antisense ribosome” technology has been developed for inhibiting gene expression and generating novel mutants. Short segments of genes are inserted in antisense orientation into an rDNA vector in a region corresponding to an external loop of the folded rRNA. DNA segments derived from the 5′-ends of genes have proven most effective in reducing cognate gene expression. To investigate the efficacy of other genie regions, we generated Tetrahymena cell lines with antisense ribosome constructs containing 100-bp DNA segments derived from the 5′-ends, 3′-ends, and internal coding regions of two non-essential genes, granule lattice protein 1 and macronuclear histone H1. The 5′- and 3′-end constructs inhibited gene expression, but antisense ribosomes derived exclusively from coding regions had little effect.

    Notes: . During macronuclear development in the ciliate Euplotes crassus, micronuclear-derived chromosomes undergo a series of rearrangements that include polytenization, DNA splicing, chromosome fragmentation, and telomere addition and processing. Although cis-acting signals that may function in the regulation of these events have been characterized, the proteins that mediate these events have not yet been identified. To identify development-specific factors that may be involved in DNA rearrangement, we previously isolated clones of a number of genes that are expressed only during early macronuclear development. Here, we report the genomic and cDNA sequences of one of these genes, conZA8. The analysis indicates that the conZA8 gene encodes a novel, 468-amino acid, prolinerich protein. Antibodies were raised against both a recombinant form of the conZA8 protein and an internal peptide. Immunoblotting and immunofluorescence analyses indicated that the conZA8 protein is highly abundant, expressed only during the polytene chromosome stage of macronuclear development, and localized to the developing macronucleus. Possible functions of the conZA8 protein are discussed.
