    Notes: Abstract During the course of this study a novel family of Chlamydomonas mobile elements has been identified in natural isolate strain 224. The first member of this class to be characterized, a 2.8-kb element named Pioneer1, was trapped in an intron of the nitrate reductase structural gene, NIT1. This element has been cloned and completely sequenced and found to be unusual in structure. Pioneer elements are present in a very low-copy number of three per genome in strain 224. The copy number increased by one upon transposition of Pioneer1. Hybridization of Pioneer1 to a variety of Chlamydomonas strains confirmed that this element differed from previously described Chlamydomonas transposons. It also indicated that related elements are present in low-copy number in natural isolate strains 356 and S1D2, but not in the most commonly used laboratory strains 137c and 21 gr. For these reasons, members of the Pioneer family might prove useful as insertional mutagens.

    EPITOPE TAGGING (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Epitope tagging is a recombinant DNA method by which a protein encoded by a cloned gene is made immunoreactive to a known antibody. This review discusses the major advantages and limitations of epitope tagging and describes a number of recent applications. Major areas of application include monitoring protein expression, localizing proteins at the cellular and subcellular levels, and protein purification, as well as the analysis of protein topology, dynamics and interactions. Recently the method has also found use in transgenic and gene therapy studies and in the emerging fields of functional genomics and proteomics.

    Flagellar Morphology in Stumpy-Flagella Mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (1985)

    Notes: Sixteen new mutants of the biflagellate green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with either stumpy-flagella or no flagella at all were examined by electron microscopy. Four of the mutants were found to carry short bulbous flagella containing amorphous electron-dense material which may represent unassembled flagellar protein. Basal bodies of normal ultrastructure were present in all mutants. Dikaryon dominance tests indicated that the stumpy mutations were recessive to wild-type in all cases tested. Stumpy mutations also conferred a measure of detergent resistance to Chlamydomonas, apparently by affecting the detergent-solubility of the flagellar membrane.

    Altered Flagellar Size-Control in shf-1 Short-Flagella Mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (1984)

    Notes: Two allelic Mendelian mutations which confer a short flagella phenotype were used to explore flagellar size control in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. When mutant/wild type quadriflagellate dikaryon cells were constructed, their two short flagella rapidly grew out to near wild type length. The kinetics of elongation suggest that the flagellar assembly process is not intrinsically self-limiting as a number of otherwise attractive models for size control require. Instead, we suggest that there exists a cellular machinery dedicated to flagellar size control and that the short-flagella mutations alter the machinery in some as yet unknown way. One of the mutants shows temperature-sensitive flagellar assembly, and both are flagellaless in acetate media. Genetic analysis indicates that the temperaturesensitive, acetate-sensitive, and short-flagella phenotypes have a common genetic basis. The responsible gene has been named shf-1, and it has been mapped to chromosome VI, approximately 5 map units from the centromere.

    Nucleus-basal body connector in Chlamydomonas: Evidence for a role in basal body segregation and against essential roles in mitosis or in determining cell polarity (1989)

    Notes: In the unicellular biflagellate green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii each basal body is linked to the nucleus by a fibrous nucleus-basal body connector (NBBC) that contains the calcium-binding protein centrin. (Wright et al.: Journal of Cell Biology 101:1903-1912.; Salisbury et al.: Journal of Cell Biology 107:635-642; Huang et al.: Journal of Cell Biology 107:121-131). In order to explore the cellular function of the NBBC we used antiserum directed against centrin to examine a number of mutants known to be defective for basal body assembly and/or localization. Of three variable flagella-number mutants examined, one, vfl-2, is dramatically defective with respect to the NBBC in that (1) the union between basal bodies and nucleus is very labile, (2) there is no detectible centrin in the NBBC region, and (3) total cellular centrin levels are reduced 75-80% relative to wild type. The existence of these defects in a mutant incapable of maintaining normal flagellar number supports the view that the NBBC plays an important role in determining proper basal body localization and/or segregation. In contrast to vfl-2, the mutants vfl-1, vfl-3, uni-1, and bald-2 contain approximately normal levels of centrin and possess stable NBBCs. The observation of NBBCs in the mutant bald-2, which lacks all but very rudimentary basal bodies, indicates that the assembly of the NBBC does not require fully formed basal bodies and that such assembly may not require basal bodies at all. Finally, the possibility that the NBBC is required for induction of gene expression following deflagellation was tested by examining vfl-2 for such induction. Results indicate that the connector does not play a necessary role in the induction process.
