Genome unicellular eukaryotes

Still, trans-acting regulatory proteins that bind to cis effector sites on the genome are present in eukaryotic systems as well as in E. coli. The best understood unicellular eukaryote is the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Gene regulation, particularly of development, can be quite complex in multicellular eukaryotes. Our discussion in this chapter focused on the following points. 

The main conclusions of Thiery et al. (1976) were the following (i) all eleven mammalian DNAs analyzed exhibited the three major components 1.697, 1.704 and 1.709 g/cm, first observed in the bovine genome similar components appeared in avian genomes and were, likewise, responsible for the trailing of the CsCl bands on the heavy, GC-rich, side (ii) the DNAs of reptiles, amphibians and fishes showed a much lower skewness to the heavy side of their CsCl bands (iii) essentially symmetrical bands in CsCl, neglecting satellite bands, were displayed by DNAs from three invertebrates (two echinoderms and Dro.sophila) and from three unicellular eukaryotes, S. cerevisiae, E. gracilis, T. pyriformis (see Table 3.2). 

In this chapter, we will concentrate on the compositional patterns and gene distribution found in the very different genomes of unicellular eukaryotes. 

The second fact is that GC changes cover a much wider range in the genomes of prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes than in those of invertebrates, cold-blooded verte-...

These faculties have been preserved in most free living extant unicellular eukaryotes (Amoebae, the Naegleria, or the kinetoplasts), but became lost in multicellular orgaiusms, except for their gonads. The unicellular parasites (plas-modia, trypanosoma, theileria) possess an RNA/DNA complex genome that could... 

Does the assumption of the mutator phenotype of the individual cancer cell in a multicellular host constitute a regression to the level of the ancestral unicellular eukaryotes, which were driven by TEs (transposases, retrotransposons, retroviruses), that invaded their genome, and existed there transcribed into mutator DNA sequences The ciliate Oxytricha trifallax possesses a somatic macronucleus and a diploid germline micronucleus [2094]. In the macronucleus reside innumerable...
