A microtubule meshwork associated with gametic pronucleus transfer across a cell-cell junction

JD Orias, EP Hamilton, and E Orias

In conjugating Tetrahymena, a cellular assembly composed of a microtubule meshwork appears to be required for the transfer of gametic pronuclei across the junction that separates the conjugating cells. This assembly is suggestive of a gametogenic cell division in ancient predecessors of ciliates, with Tetrahymena retaining only the associated nuclear division and export.
