Non-Mendelian inheritance of macronuclear mutations is gene specific in Paramecium tetraurelia.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Apr 1994

Scott J M, Mikami K, Leeck C L, Forney J D

Abstract excerpt

Paramecium tetraurelia contains two types of nuclei, a diploid germinal micronucleus and a large transcriptionally active macronucleus. The macronuclear genome is formed from the micronuclear DNA during sexual reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the processing of the A-type variable surface protein gene during formation of a new macronucleus is dependent on the presence of the A gene in the old...
