以同步化培养的多头绒泡菌（Physarum poldycephalum Schw.)原生质团为材料,应用整体银染技术,电镜下研究了核仁在细胞周期中的超微结构变化。结果变化：核仁成熟时比较大,位于细胞核中央,核仁内可区分出纤维中心、密集纤维成分和颗粒成分等。前期时,核仁向边缘移动,前期末在近核膜处解体,解体的核仁物质主要呈团块状散开。中期时,解体的核仁物质位于细胞核中央染色体区域的周围,染色体上没有特异的银染区域,染色体周边也看不到银染的“鞘”状结构,但在染色体中可见一些散在的银染大颗粒。末期时,核仁物质与染色体一起到达两极,在子细胞核中与正在解集缩的染色质共存一起,以后核仁物质逐渐汇合并与染色质分开。大约在有丝分裂结束120min后,在细胞核中形成一候 中央位置的大核仁,结果提示,低等真核生物的核仁结构和周期变化与高等真核生物的不完全相同。

本文以蚕豆(Vicia faba L.)根端分生组织细胞为材料,以抗SC35抗体为探针,在电镜下对SC35在高等植物细胞中的存在与否和分布特点进行了研究,发现经抗SC35抗体标记后,标明SC35位置的胶体金颗粒主要分布于核仁的致密纤维组分(DFC)、核质的染色质间颗粒(IGs)和染色质周边纤维处(PFs),而核仁的纤维中心(FC)、核仁液泡和集缩染色质团块中央部位的金颗粒很少。DFC, IGs和PFs处的金颗粒平均密度分别为65.89个/μm~2和36.28个/μm~2,远远高于集缩染色质团块中央部位以及FC和核仁液泡处的金颗粒平均密度(分别为5.90个/μm~2和6.26个/μm~2)。说明蚕豆细胞核仁的DFC,核质的IGs和PFs处富含剪接因子SC35。本文研究结果表明,SC35或SC35类蛋白在蚕豆细胞核质中的分布与其在哺乳动物细胞核质中的分布规律相似。同时本文首次报道了SC35或SC35类蛋白存在于核仁中。     

Intranucleolar visualization of nucleic acids and acidic proteins in inhibited and reactivated pea cotyledonary buds

Summary Nuclease-colloidal gold complexes and silver staining were used to visualize intranucleolar nucleic acids and argyrophilic proteins of the nucleolar organizers in bud cotyledonary cells ofPisum sativum. In the G_0–1 inhibited bud, a few RNA molecules were detected in the fibrillar component and in the unique fibrillar centre, close to the boundary with the fibrillar component of the nucleolus. DNA was present in the fibrillar component, in the fibrillar centre and in a few fibres crossing the perinucleolar halo. The acidic proteins were localized at the periphery of the fibrillar component but they were also present in the unique fibrillar centre. In the reactivated bud, RNA was particularly concentrated in the granular component and along fibres crossing the perinucleolar halo; a few RNA molecules were also detected at the boundary between the small fibrillar centres and the fibrillar component. DNA was localized in the same nucleolar component as in the inhibited bud, but it was distributed between several fibrillar centres. Acidic proteins coated these DNA loci. In the inhibited and reactivated bud connections between nucleolar DNA containing structures were displayed. The data are discussed in relation to the present knowledge of the functional architecture of the nucleolus.Abbreviations DNA deoxyribonucleic acid - DNase deoxyribonuclease - G_0–1 phase G₁ phase of the cell cycle indefinitely prolonged - PEG polyethylene glycol - RNA ribonucleic acid - RNase ribonuclease - S and G₂ phases synthetic and postsynthetic phases of the cell cycle - SPB saline phosphate buffer     

Human ribosomal RNA gene repeats are localized in the dense fibrillar component of nucleoli: light and electron microscopic in situ hybridization in human Sertoli cells.

The distribution of the human ribosomal gene repeat within human Sertoli cell nucleoli was investigated with the help of DNA-DNA in situ hybridization at the light and electron microscopic level. Probes from both the transcribed part of the gene repeat and the "non-transcribed" spacer were found to hybridize predominantly to the dense fibrillar component of nucleoli. It therefore can be concluded that the dense fibrillar component of nucleoli is the major site of the intranucleolar location of the ribosomal DNA. This holds true not only for the dense fibrillar component adjacent to fibrillar centers, but also for the dense fibrillar component remote from the fibrillar centers.     

Three-dimensional ultrastructure and quantitative analysis of the human Sertoli cell nucleolus

The nucleolus of the human Sertoli cell displays a spontaneous segregation of its components and has only one or 2 large fibrillar centers. The 3-dimensional reconstruction and quantitative analysis of its components was undertaken using a Quantimet 900 image analysis system in order to define the spatial relationships between the dense fibrillar component and the fibrillar center and especially to investigate whether threads of dense fibrillar component exist independently, without being linked to a fibrillar center. Our 3D reconstructions demonstrated that the dense fibrillar threads or sheets were never independent of fibrillar centers. These structures belonged to a continuous network that joined the layer of dense fibrils surrounding the fibrillar center. When the nucleolus contained 2 different-sized fibrillar centers, quantitative analysis showed that there was a proportional relationship between the volume of the dense fibrillar component and the volume of the fibrillar center. These data, compared with those previously obtained by means of autoradiographic techniques, suggest that the rDNA-containing chromatin passes through the fibrillar center and unwinds from there into the dense fibrillar component.     

New data concerning the functional organization of the mammalian cell nucleolus: detection of RNA and rRNA by in situ molecular immunocytochemistry.

We have investigated the fine spatial distribution of RNA and rRNA within the Ehrlich tumor cell nucleolus by in situ hybridization with a biotin-labeled probe and by two new strategies, the polyadenylate nucleotidyl transferase-immunogold technique and immuno-labeling with anti-RNA antibodies. Besides the presence, as expected, of RNA and rRNA in the granular component and the dense fibrillar component, we show, for the first time, significant label over all the fibrillar centers of the nucleoli. When RNA and DNA were detected simultaneously on the same sections, only the fibrillar centers were positive for both. These results throw light on the controversial subject of the precise location of transcribing rRNA genes within the nucleolus. The fibrillar centers, and not the dense fibrillar component, should thus be the site of rRNA synthesis.     

Three-dimensional distribution of Ag-NOR proteins in rat superior cervical ganglia nucleoli according to circadian rhythm

A three-dimensional reconstruction of the distribution of Ag-NOR proteins in nucleoli of sympathetic neurons of a rat killed during the dark period of its light-dark cycle was compared with previously reported analyses on the three-dimensional distribution of fibrillar centers, the high-resolution localization of these proteins, and the morphometric results. The domain occupied by these proteins appeared to far exceed that of the fibrillar centers and included the dense fibrillar RNP component. In the present material this component in turn provided partial bridging between the units consisting of the fibrillar centers plus their surrounding dense fibrillar component.
