The Effect of Enucleation on Flagellar Regeneration in the Protozoon Peranema Trichophorum
J. CM Set. 4, 171-178 (1969) 171 Printed in Great Britain THE EFFECT OF ENUCLEATION ON FLAGELLAR REGENERATION IN THE PROTOZOON PERANEMA TRICHOPHORUM S. L. TAMM* Department of Zoology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. SUMMARY A rotocompressor was used to enucleate the flagellate protozoon Peranema trichophorum at known stages in the mitotic cycle. This new enucleation technique, combined with recently devised methods for amputating the flagellum and recording its regeneration in single living cells, permitted the investigation of the role of the nucleus in flagellar regeneration at different cell ages. The flagellar regeneration capacity of an enucleate Peranema depended on the stage in the cell cycle when the nucleus was removed. Post-division enucleate cells regenerated about half the length reached by sham-operated controls, and at slower rates, while predivision enucleate cells regenerated flagella equally as well as the controls. Therefore, the nucleus is making an immediate contribution to flagellar regeneration early in the cell cycle, but not late in the cell cycle. INTRODUCTION Enucleation is a classic experimental method for investigating interactions between nucleus and cytoplasm during various cell functions. The effects of enucleation on many aspects of cell morphogenesis have been studied extensively by cutting uni- cellular organisms into nucleate and enucleate fragments. The general conclusion has emerged from these merotomy experiments that the nucleus (macronucleus in ciliate protozoans) is essential for regeneration and restoration of normal body form (see reviews by Balamuth, 1940; Brachet, 1961; Hammerling, 1953; Weisz, 1954). The purpose of the present work is to investigate the role of the nucleus in the regeneration of a specific cellular organelle, the flagellum. -
Pinpointing the Origin of Mitochondria Zhang Wang Hanchuan, Hubei
Pinpointing the origin of mitochondria Zhang Wang Hanchuan, Hubei, China B.S., Wuhan University, 2009 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology University of Virginia August, 2014 ii Abstract The explosive growth of genomic data presents both opportunities and challenges for the study of evolutionary biology, ecology and diversity. Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis (known as phylogenomics) has demonstrated its power in resolving the evolutionary tree of life and deciphering various fascinating questions regarding the origin and evolution of earth’s contemporary organisms. One of the most fundamental events in the earth’s history of life regards the origin of mitochondria. Overwhelming evidence supports the endosymbiotic theory that mitochondria originated once from a free-living α-proteobacterium that was engulfed by its host probably 2 billion years ago. However, its exact position in the tree of life remains highly debated. In particular, systematic errors including sparse taxonomic sampling, high evolutionary rate and sequence composition bias have long plagued the mitochondrial phylogenetics. This dissertation employs an integrated phylogenomic approach toward pinpointing the origin of mitochondria. By strategically sequencing 18 phylogenetically novel α-proteobacterial genomes, using a set of “well-behaved” phylogenetic markers with lower evolutionary rates and less composition bias, and applying more realistic phylogenetic models that better account for the systematic errors, the presented phylogenomic study for the first time placed the mitochondria unequivocally within the Rickettsiales order of α- proteobacteria, as a sister clade to the Rickettsiaceae and Anaplasmataceae families, all subtended by the Holosporaceae family. -
A Morphological Re-Description of Ploeotia Pseudanisonema, and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Genus Ploeotia
A Morphological Re-Description of Ploeotia pseudanisonema, and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Genus Ploeotia by Andrew Buren Brooks (Under the direction of Mark A. Farmer) Abstract The genus Ploeotia represents a group of small, colorless, heterotrophic euglenids commonly found in shallow-water marine sediments. Species belonging to this genus have histori- cally been poorly described and studied. However, a Group I intron discovered within the small subunit ribosomal DNA gene of Ploeotia costata, makes P. costata the only euglena- zoan known to possess an actively splicing Group I intron. This intron contains conserved secondary structures that indicate monophyly with introns found in Stramenopiles and Ban- giales red algae. This project describes the internal and external morphology of a related species, Ploeotia pseudanisonema, using light and electron microscopy, and investigates the possibility of a Group I intron within P. pseudanisonema. Using recently obtained SSU rRNA sequences, we also examine the phylogeny of Ploeotia, and comment on the relationship of the genus Keelungia to Ploeotia.

Protist Phylogeny and the High-Level Classification of Protozoa
Europ. J. Protistol. 39, 338–348 (2003) © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/ejp Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa Thomas Cavalier-Smith Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK; E-mail: [email protected] Received 1 September 2003; 29 September 2003. Accepted: 29 September 2003 Protist large-scale phylogeny is briefly reviewed and a revised higher classification of the kingdom Pro- tozoa into 11 phyla presented. Complementary gene fusions reveal a fundamental bifurcation among eu- karyotes between two major clades: the ancestrally uniciliate (often unicentriolar) unikonts and the an- cestrally biciliate bikonts, which undergo ciliary transformation by converting a younger anterior cilium into a dissimilar older posterior cilium. Unikonts comprise the ancestrally unikont protozoan phylum Amoebozoa and the opisthokonts (kingdom Animalia, phylum Choanozoa, their sisters or ancestors; and kingdom Fungi). They share a derived triple-gene fusion, absent from bikonts. Bikonts contrastingly share a derived gene fusion between dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase and include plants and all other protists, comprising the protozoan infrakingdoms Rhizaria [phyla Cercozoa and Re- taria (Radiozoa, Foraminifera)] and Excavata (phyla Loukozoa, Metamonada, Euglenozoa, Percolozoa), plus the kingdom Plantae [Viridaeplantae, Rhodophyta (sisters); Glaucophyta], the chromalveolate clade, and the protozoan phylum Apusozoa (Thecomonadea, Diphylleida). Chromalveolates comprise kingdom Chromista (Cryptista, Heterokonta, Haptophyta) and the protozoan infrakingdom Alveolata [phyla Cilio- phora and Miozoa (= Protalveolata, Dinozoa, Apicomplexa)], which diverged from a common ancestor that enslaved a red alga and evolved novel plastid protein-targeting machinery via the host rough ER and the enslaved algal plasma membrane (periplastid membrane). -
