Genetic characterization of Tetrahymena thermophila mutants unable to secrete capsules.

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1992

Gutiérrez J C, Orias E

Abstract excerpt

Under appropriate conditions, Alcian Blue-induced exocytosis of Tetrahymena mucocysts leads to formation of a capsule that surrounds the cell. This phenomenon is an example of regulated secretion, a mechanism of fundamental significance in eukaryotic cells. In order to dissect genetically the mechanism of mucocyst biogenesis and regulated exocytosis, mutants unable to form capsules (Caps-) were isolated. In this...
