The condensin complex is essential for amitotic segregation of bulk chromosomes, but not nucleoli, in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

The macronucleus of the binucleate ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila contains fragmented and amplified chromosomes that do not have centromeres, eliminating the possibility of mitotic nuclear division. Instead, the macronucleus divides by amitosis with random segregation of these chromosomes without detectable chromatin condensation. This amitotic division provides a special opportunity for studying the roles of...
