Abstract excerpt
The genetics and phenotypic features (light and electron microscopy) of a secretory mutant, MS-1 of Tetrahymena thermophila blocked in secretion of lysosomal acid hydrolases have been analyzed. Although blocked constitutively in secretion, MS-1 contains active lysosomal hydrolases in amounts equivalent to the wild type. The 3:1 segregation in F-2 in sib crosses and the 1:1 segregation in test crosses indicate...
