In situ hybridization at the electron microscope level: an improved method for precise localization of ribosomal DNA and RNA 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
In situ hybridization using biotinylated rDNA probes and secondary antibody coupled to gold particles was developed on ultrathin sections of Lowicryl-embedded Ehrlich tumor cells for precise localization of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal DNA (rDNA). For the detection of rDNA, an immunocytochemical approach involving an antibody against single-stranded DNA was used in order to determine the more efficient denaturation procedure. Using this technique, rDNA can be visualized in the fibrillar centers of nucleoli, especially in their peripheral regions at the proximity of both the dense fibrils and the nucleolar interstices as well as within the latter. rDNA was occasionally detected in some clumps of dense nucleolus-associated chromatin. Besides the presence of rRNA in the ribosome-rich cytoplasmic areas and in the dense fibrillar component and the granular component of the nucleolus, rRNA was also found in the fibrillar center areas close to the boundary region to the dense fibrillar component. These results are discussed in the light of the present knowledge on the functional organization of the nucleolus. 相似文献

Immunoelectron microscopy and in situ hybridization have been used to investigate the precise location of transcribed and non-transcribed rDNA spacer sequences. Whereas a 5'-external transcribed spacer sequence is predominantly visualized in the fibrillar centers of nucleoli, a non-transcribed spacer sequence is preferentially detected in the interstices, in close contact with the fibrillar centers and which interrupt the surrounding dense fibrillar component. Occasionally these two spacers are also observed in clumps of dense nucleolus-associated chromatin. These observations provide insights into the organization of ribosomal repeats within the nucleolus. 相似文献

The nucleolus is the prominent nuclear organelle in which the biogenesis of ribosomal RNA and ribosomes takes place. Understanding of the molecular processes in the nucleolus is rapidly expanding; however, opinions and results on the precise localization of active ribosomal genes - in either of two nucleolar subcompartments, fibrillar centers and dense fibrillar components - are still divided. This review discusses the difficulties in studying the nucleolar structure using microscopy, and provides an overview of the published data, critically examining their relevance to the controversy. Additionally, evidence showing that the dense fibrillar components encompass the Christmas tree structures is discussed and ways to reconcile the controversy are proposed. 相似文献

We have investigated the precise location of DNA within the meristematic cell nucleolus ofZea maysroot cells andPisum sativumcotyledonary buds, in the course of their activation and induced inactivation following a subsequent treatment at low temperature. For this purpose, we combined the acetylation method, providing an excellent distinction between the various nucleolar components, with thein situterminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-immunogold technique, a highly sensitive method for detecting DNA at the ultrastructural level. In addition to the presence of DNA in the condensed chromatin associated with the nucleolus, we demonstrated that a significant label was detected in the nucleolus of quiescent cells in both plant models. Evident labels were also found in the dense fibrillar component of actived nucleoli. Whereas in inactivated nucleoli no significant label was observed within the dense fibrillar component, an intense label was seen over the large heterogeneous fibrillar centres only during inactivation. The granular component was never significantly labelled. These results appear to indicate that the DNA present in the dense fibrillar component of activated nucleoli withdraws from this structure during its inactivation and becomes incorporated in the large fibrillar centres. These observations suggest that in plant cells inactivation of rRNA genes is clearly accompanied by changes in the conformation of ribosomal chromatin. 相似文献
