Macronuclear chromosomes of hypotrichous ciliates are gene-sized molecules carrying the coding sequence flanked by short non-translated regions and bounded by telomeres. We have constructed artificial chromosomes for investigation of transcription in the macronucleus of Euplotes crassus. The neo gene was put under the control of the 5"-non-translated region of the TBP gene of E.crassus. These molecules were introduced into the cell with the help of liposomes. The cells were transformed and survi ...[more]
