The isozyme pattern of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) of Acetabularia crenulata and A. mediterranea is characterized by heterogeneity in different regions of the cytoplasm of both algae, as well as by species specificity. The formation of the heteropolymeric MDH isozyme is restricted to a definite region of the cytoplasm of heterokaryons and nuclear-cytoplasmic A. crenulata-A. mediterranea hybrids at different stages of their development. The data obtained suggest that the concentrations of the free subunits of MDH, coded for by homologous genes, are unevenly distributed in the cytoplasm of hybrid cells. The heteropolymeric MDH isozyme in these cells is presumably the result of the de novo synthesis of isozyme subunits. This seems plausible inasmuch as no exchange occurs between the homopolymeric MDH isozymes of both parental types in the cytoplasm. The formation of the heteropolymeric MDH isozyme is tentatively related to the spatial compartmentalization of the mRNAs of homologous genes coding for the MDH subunits. |
