Basal bodies and DNA

Trends in Cell Biology, 1991
The possibility that basal bodies/centrioles contain nucleic acid has been a controversial topic in cell biology for several decades. These structures are conservatively replicated, are segregated at mitosis, and play a prominent role in cytoskeletal organization; thus, some have chosen to view centrioles as autonomous, self-replicating entities, and ...

Basal body temperature and endometriosis

Fertility and Sterility, 1990
This investigation examined the association between pelvic endometriosis and altered basal body temperature (BBT). The study population consisted of infertile women who have been diagnosed as having endometriosis. A significant association was found between the presence of pelvic endometriosis (without previous treatment) and the appearance of a late ...

An updated basal body temperature method

Contraception, 1996
Basal body temperature (BBT) readings are handicapped as fertility predictors by exogenous influences on women's temperatures, many of which could be adjusted for by the presence of a non-cycling control. We, a married, cohabiting couple, tracked our BBTs for two months. We found substantial temperature covariability.

Basal body/centriole assembly and continuity

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2003
The long-standing interest in centrioles and basal bodies stems from the evolutionary conservation of their structural design and from their dual mode of assembly (templated versus de novo), revealed by electron microscopic studies nearly four decades ago and unique for a subcellular organelle.

Characteristics of Basal Body Cartwheel Reassembly

The Journal of Protozoology, 1989
ABSTRACT. Cartwheel complexes reassembled in a fraction derived by treating isolated oral apparatuses from Tetrahymena with 1.0 M KC1 for 12 h. Approximately 40% of the KCl‐soluble protein reassembled into cartwheel complexes. The reassembly reaction was protein‐concentration dependent, and reassembled cartwheels were stable at 3° C.

ATPase of basal bodies ofTetrahymena pyriformis

Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility, 1987
The Ca2+-ATPase activity in basal bodies of Tetrahymena pyriformis was determined by cytochemical and biochemical methods. It was found that the sites of the Ca2+-ATPase activity are associated with the basal body microtubules. A method for the isolation of the basal bodies in a purified form in amounts for biochemical assay has been developed.

Basal Body Homeostasis in Tetrahymena

The American Naturalist, 1974
The number of basal bodies in a ciliary row of Tetrahymena pyriformis decreases as the number of ciliary rows increases so as to maintain an approximately constant total number of basal bodies per cell. This observation, previously established for syngen 1, is here extended to 21 additional strains representing the other 11 established syngens. Strains

Tympanic thermometry for recording basal body temperatures

Fertility and Sterility, 1993
Evaluation of 12 menstrual cycles using oral, rectal, and TM temperature measuring devices (over 2,000 individual readings) confirmed the ovulatory thermal shift was equally detected with TM thermometry compared with the traditional methods. Although a single TM reading was satisfactory, an average of three successive readings provided a smoother graph

Electrophoretic analysis of basal body (centriole) proteins

Biochemistry, 1980
Purified basal bodies isolated from the chicken oviduct were analyzed by using several different electrophoretic techniques. For comparison, oviduct cilia proteins were also analyzed. Prominent among the basal body proteins were the tubulin subunits (representing approximately 20% of the protein) and a low molecular weight protein (approximately 17,400
