TL;DR: The results indicate that the C. merolae genome provides a model system with a simple gene composition for studying the origin, evolution and fundamental mechanisms of eukaryotic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
An mt(+) gamete-specific nuclease that targets mt(-) chloroplasts during sexual reproduction in C. reinhardtii.
Yoshiki Nishimura,Osami Misumi,Ko Kato,Noriko Inada,Tetsuya Higashiyama,Yu Momoyama,Tsuneyoshi Kuroiwa +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the nuclease (designated as Mt(+)-specific DNase, MDN) is a developmentally controlled nuklease that is activated in mt+ gametes and participates in the destruction of mt- cpDNA in young zygotes, thereby ensuring uniparental inheritance of chloroplast traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
The division of pleomorphic plastids with multiple FtsZ rings in tobacco BY-2 cells.
Yu Momoyama,Yutaka Miyazawa,Shin-ya Miyagishima,Toshiyuki Mori,Osami Misumi,Haruko Kuroiwa,Tsuneyoshi Kuroiwa +6 more
TL;DR: It was revealed that as the plastid elongates from an ellipsoid shape to a string shape after medium renewal, FtsZ rings are multiplied almost orderly and perpendicularly to the long axis of plastids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualization of Multiple FtsZ Rings in Actively Dividing Proplastids of Cultured Bright Yellow-2 Tobacco Cells.
Yutaka Miyazawa,Toshiyuki Mori,Tamaki Kobayashi,Yu Momoyama,Haruko Kuroiwa,Tsuneyoshi Kuroiwa +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that FtsZ proteins may have a role in multiple division of proplastid division and appear as multiple rings transversely aligned in elongatedProplastids, which will be fragmented by multiple divisions during culture.
