The temperature-sensitive mutation cc1 blocks a number of cell cycle processes in Paramecium including macronuclear DNA synthesis, oral morphogenesis, and the later stages of micronuclear mitosis. Oral morphogenesis and micronuclear mitosis also occur in the sexual pathway. This study shows that cc1 cells can proceed through conjugation or autogamy under restrictive conditions; neither stomatogenesis nor micronuclear mitosis is blocked. Fertilization and macronuclear determination occur normally, but DNA synthesis in macronuclear anlagen is blocked. Therefore, this mutation discriminates between oral replacement during meiosis and vegetative prefission stomatogenesis, and between mitotic spindle elongation during the pregamic and postzygotic divisions and spindle elongation during the vegetative cell cycle. These results point to a fundamental regulatory difference between morphogenesis in the vegetative and sexual pathways. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
