The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena undergoes extensive programmed DNA elimination when the germline micronucleus produces the new macronucleus during sexual reproduction. DNA elimination is epigenetically controlled by DNA sequences of the parental macronuclear genome, and this epigenetic regulation...
ORGANISM(S): Tetrahymena thermophila 
We report the existence of both methylcytosine and hydroxymethylcytosine in the genomic DNA of the ciliate Oxytricha trifallax during its genome rearrangement process. These modifications are dynamically added, de novo, to sequences targeted for elimination and are not present after the rearrangemen...

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes use diverse strategies to cope with invading mobile genetic elements, including programmed DNA elimination (PDE). In the ciliate Paramecium, elimination of transposable elements and their relics requires the PiggyMac (Pgm) endonuclease and its five PgmL partners, yet how t...

Chromatin diminution is the programmed elimination of specific DNA sequences during development. It occurs in diverse species, but the function(s) of diminution and the specificity of sequence loss remain largely unknown. Diminution in the nematode Ascaris suum occurs during early embryonic cleavage...

First description of Programmed-DNA Elimination in M. belari and M. spiculigera
Organisms invest significant effort into maintaining genome stability. However, in diverse groups of eukaryotes, portions or entire chromosomes are lost in early development or during sex determination, a process known as programmed DNA elimination. Little is known about how different segments of t...

Abstract: In the yeast S. pombe, multiple chromatin-modifying enzymes are required for heterochromatin formation, yet how their actions alter chromatin structure to block access to DNAby the transcriptional machinery is unknown. We constructed high-resolution nucleosome occupancy maps of heterochrom...

Expression of small RNAs during epigenetic disturbances of Tetrahymena DNA elimination
Analysis of genome-wide IES elimination of Late-scnRNA accumulation-defective cells inducates that Early-scnRNAs are sufficient to induce DNA elimination for a majority of IESs, whereas Late-scnRNAs are important for DNA elimination of some, mainly Type-B, IESs. new MACs of exconjugants were isolate...

To limit transposable element (TE) mobilization, most eukaryotes have evolved small RNAs to silence TE activity via homology-dependent mechanisms. Small RNAs, 20-30 nucleotides in length, bind to PIWI proteins and guide them to nascent transcripts by sequence complementarity, triggering the recruitm...
