    Notes: Abstract To identify mating type-specific glycoproteins associated with the flagellar membrane of Chlamydomonas eugametos, which could be involved in sexual agglutination, antibodies were raised in rabbits against purified gamete flagella of either mating type. The immunoglobulin (Ig) fractions exhibited partial mating-type specificity in agglutinating gametes, in the indirect immunofluorescence test and in the crossed immunoelectrophoresis test. This specificity was strongly enhanced by absorbing the fractions with flagella of the opposite mating type. Absorbed Ig fractions produced a single precipitation line with Triton extracts of gamete flagella in the crossed immunoelectrophoresis technique. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis this line appeared to contain two flagellar glycoprotein fractions, PAS 1 and PAS 4. Polyacrylamide gels of flagellar extracts incubated with these Ig fractions, followed by staining with peroxidase-anti-rabbit Ig resulted in the staining of only the PAS 1 and PAS 4 bands, which confirms that these components of the flagellar membrane are mating type-specific antigens.

    Notes: Abstract Chlamydomonas eugametos gametes agglutinate sexually by their flagellar surfaces. The agglutination factor on mating type minus (mt-) gametes is thought to be a glycoprotein named PAS-1.2. To test this idea, an antiserum was raised against purified PAS-1.2., which reacted with isolated PAS-1.2 (immunoprecipitation tests) and blocked the ability of isolated PAS-1.2 to induce sexual twitching in mt + gametes. When tested with living cells, the antiserum specifically agglutinated mt - gametes and induced a reaction resembling twitching. Mt + flagella were shown to bind the antiserum (indirect immunofluorescence) but much less than mt - gametes. Mt - gametes pretreated with Fab fragments of the antiserum were unable to reproduce sexually, while treated mt + gametes were unaffected. This effect presumably results from the ability of the serum to block mt - sexual agglutination, for mt - isoagglutinin was completely inactivated by the serum, while mt + isoagglutinin was unaffected. It is therefore argued that PAS-1.2 is the in vivo mt - agglutination factor. However it is shown that the antiserum was able to react in vitro not only with PAS-1.2 but with several other proteins in both mt - and mt + flagella.

    Isolation of an antigenic determinant from flagellar glycoproteins of Chlamydomonas eugametos (1983)

    Notes: Abstract A labeled oligosaccharide fraction, obtained by reductive β-elimination of an extract of minus mating-type flagella of Chlamydomonas eugametos, is shown to contain a disaccharide fraction which is bound by an antiserum raised against the sexual agglutination factor present at the flagellar surface of that species. The fraction contains arabinose and galactose. It is argued that galactose and/or arabinose may be a functional constituent of the agglutination factor.

    Sexual agglutination factor from Chlamydomonas eugametos (1981)

    Notes: Abstract Chlamydomonas eugametos gametes can sexually agglutinate via their flagellar surfaces whereas vegetative cells cannot. Therefore, flagellar glycoproteins, present in gamete cells but absent from vegetative cells, were investigated as prospective mt -agglutination factors. They were identified as periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stained bands separated in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels. Gamete-specific bands were determined by comparison with equivalent gels of vegetative flagella and by immunological techniques using antisera raised against isolated mt - gamete flagella. Four high molecular weight flagellar glycoproteins proved to be gamete specific (PAS-1.2, PAS-1.3, PAS-3 and PAS-4). They were extracted from flagella by 3 M guanidine thiocyanate, separated in a column of Sepharose 2B, and tested for in vitro agglutination activity on mt + gametes. A single peak of activity was found to be correlated with the presence of the PAS-1.2 band. It is shown that mt - agglutination activity is related to the concentration of this glycoprotein in flagellar membranes.
