Multiple effects of mutation on expression of alternative cell surface protein genes in Tetrahymena thermophila.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1992

Smith D L, Doerder F P

Abstract excerpt

Genes at the SerH locus of the ciliated protist Tetrahymena thermophila specify the major (H) surface protein on cells grown at 20-36 degrees. Alternative proteins L, T, S and I are expressed under different conditions of temperature and culture media. Mutants unable to express SerH genes were ex...
