Mature Balbiani Ring (BR) granules in situ were stained with the nucleic acid specific stain, osmium ammine-B, recorded by electron spectroscopic imaging and reconstructed by electron microscope tomography to examine the three-dimensional (3-D) distribution of BR heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). The BR2 granules contain ca. 37 kb of mRNA. Reconstructed BR granules were selected to emphasize one of the prevalent conformations seen in the sectioned salivary glands, the en face or pin-wheel conformation. A variety of image processing and volume-rendering operations were applied to the set of reconstructed BR granules. Some of the conclusions of this study are the following: (1) RNA distribution is not uniform throughout the granule; (2) RNA is condensed into about ten particles per granule, which all appear to possess approximately the same RNA stain density; (3) heterogeneity exists in the positions and sizes of particles within the various BR granules. These data argue for the folding of a beaded ribbon, consisting of connected particulate condensations of BR mRNA, possessing considerable 3-D flexibility, even in the packaged state. A comparison of this beadedribbon model and a prior folded hnRNP fiber model is also presented. 相似文献

By means of high-intensity 532 nm laser pulses, a photochemical conversion of the initial B(570) state of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) to a stable photoproduct absorbing maximally at approximately 620 nm in BR suspensions and at approximately 610 nm in BR films is induced. This state, which we named F(620), is photochemically further converted to a group of three products with maximal absorptions in the wavelength range from 340 nm to 380 nm, which show identical spectral properties to the so-called P(360) state reported in the literature. The photoconversion from B(570) to F(620) is most likely a resonant two-photon absorption induced step. The formation of F(620) and P(360) leads to a distinguished photo-induced permanent optical anisotropy in BR films. The spectral dependence of the photo-induced anisotropy and the anisotropy orientations at the educt (B(570)) and product (F(620)) wavelengths are strong indicators that F(620) is formed in a direct photochemical step from B(570). The chemical nature of the P(360) products probably is that of a retro-retinal containing BR, but the structural characteristics of the F(620) state are still unclear. The photo-induced permanent anisotropy induced by short laser pulses in BR films helps to better understand the photochemical pathways related to this transition, and it is interesting in view of potential applications as this feature is the molecular basis for permanent optical data storage using BR films. 相似文献
