Description:
In conjugating Tetrahymena, a cellular assembly composed of a microtubule meshwork appears to be required for the transfer of gametic pronuclei across the junction that separates the conjugating cells. This assembly is suggestive of a gametogenic cell division in ancient predecessors of ciliates, with Tetrahymena retaining only the associated nuclear division and export.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Orias, J D -- Hamilton, E P -- Orias, E -- GM19290/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Oct 14;222(4620):181-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6623070" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
