Project description:In the ciliate Paramecium tetraurelia, autogamy is a self-fertilization process, during which the zygotic nucleus results from the fusion of two identical gametic nuclei. This phenomenon occurs in response to starvation. It starts with meiosis of the germline nuclei (micronuclei or MIC) and fragmentation of the parental somatic nucleus (macronucleus or MAC). This is followed by mitotic division of one haploid nucleus issued from meiosis to yield two identical gametic nuclei, then karyogamy takes place, followed by mitosis of zygotic nucleus and differentiation of new MICs and MACs from the resulting copies of the zygotic nucleus. Within the developing new MACs, developmentally programmed DNA amplification and extensive genome rearrangements (precise excision of short non coding Internal Eliminated Sequences and chromosome fragmentation associated with the imprecise elimination of repetitive DNA) give rise to the highly polyploid somatic genome. To gain further insight into the complex regulation of these successive steps, we used whole genome microarrays to study the different gene networks that become activated throughout autogamy. Total RNA was extracted before the begining of autogamy (reference sample) and at 5 different time points during the process of autogamy. There are two biological replicates for each point.

Project description:BackgroundA Paramecium tetraurelia pilot genome project, the subsequent sequencing of a Megabase chromosome as well as the Paramecium genome project aimed at gaining insight into the genome of Paramecium. These cells display a most elaborate membrane trafficking system, with distinct, predictable pathways in which actin could participate. Previously we had localized actin in Paramecium; however, none of the efforts so far could proof the occurrence of actin in the cleavage furrow of a dividing cell, despite the fact that actin is unequivocally involved in cell division. This gave a first hint that Paramecium may possess actin isoforms with unusual characteristics. The genome project gave us the chance to search the whole Paramecium genome, and, thus, to identify and characterize probably all actin isoforms in Paramecium.ResultsThe ciliated protozoan, P. tetraurelia, contains an actin multigene family with at least 30 members encoding actin, actin-related and actin-like proteins. They group into twelve subfamilies; a large subfamily with 10 genes, seven pairs and one trio with > 82% amino acid identity, as well as three single genes. The different subfamilies are very distinct from each other. In comparison to actins in other organisms, P. tetraurelia actins are highly divergent, with identities topping 80% and falling to 30%. We analyzed their structure on nucleotide level regarding the number and position of introns. On amino acid level, we scanned the sequences for the presence of actin consensus regions, for amino acids of the intermonomer interface in filaments, for residues contributing to ATP binding, and for known binding sites for myosin and actin-specific drugs. Several of those characteristics are lacking in several subfamilies. The divergence of P. tetraurelia actins and actin-related proteins between different P. tetraurelia subfamilies as well as with sequences of other organisms is well represented in a phylogenetic tree, where P. tetraurelia sequences only partially cluster.ConclusionAnalysis of different features on nucleotide and amino acid level revealed striking differences in isoforms of actin and actin-related proteins in P. tetraurelia, both within the organism and in comparison to other organisms. This diversification suggests unprecedented specification in localization and function within a unicellular eukaryote.

Project description:Paramecium cells in log-phase growth were treated for deciliation and total mRNA extracted at two time points after deciliation. This is usefull to study genes involved in cilia biogenesis. Time points are : T0 : mRNA extracted before deciliation. T30 : mRNA extracted 30 minutes after deciliation. T120 : mRNA extracted 120 minutes after deciliation.
