TLDR
This review addresses the problem of understanding nucleolar morphology in terms of nucleolar function by reviewing in situ-cytochemical results that have not led to a generally accepted view on the structure-function correlation for nucleoli.

Coexisting Liquid Phases Underlie Nucleolar Subcompartments

TL;DR: It is shown that subcompartments within the nucleolus represent distinct, coexisting liquid phases that may facilitate sequential RNA processing reactions in a variety of RNP bodies, and suggested that phase separation can give rise to multilayered liquids.

Oocyte growth, capacitation and final maturation in cattle

TL;DR: The final oocyte maturation up to metaphase II after LH stimulation of the ovulatory follicle is the culmination of the previous processes and equips the oocyte with a haploid chromosomal compartment and the cell biological apparatus specialized for fertilization and initial embryonic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nucleolus and transcription of ribosomal genes.

TL;DR: The recent results on the regulation of rRNA synthesis in relation to the functional organization of the nucleolus are discussed, and an emphasis on the situation encountered in mammalian somatic cells is put on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteome analysis of human metaphase chromosomes

TL;DR: A four-layer model of metaphase chromosomes is presented, which represents the first compositional view of human metaphase chromosome and provides a protein framework for future research on this topic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Codling moth cytogenetics: karyotype, chromosomal location of rDNA, and molecular differentiation of sex chromosomes.

TL;DR: The demonstrated ways of W chromosome identification will facilitate the development of genetic sexing strains desirable for pest control using the sterile insect technique.

Phytohemagglutinin: an initiator of mitosis in cultures of normal human leukocytes.

Peter C. Nowell
- 01 May 1960 - 
TL;DR: The studies suggest that the mitogenic action of PHA does not involve mitosis per se but rather the stage preceding mitosis—the alteration of circulating monocytes and large lymphocytes to a state wherein they are capable of division.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major nucleolar proteins shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm

TL;DR: These unexpected results suggest a role for these major nucleolar proteins in the nucleocytoplasmic transport of ribosomal components and suggest that transient exposure of shuttling proteins to the cy toplasm may provide a mechanism for cytop lasmic regulation of nuclear activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visualization of nucleolar organizer regions im mammalian chromosomes using silver staining

TL;DR: The available cytochemical data suggest that the Ag-AS reaction stains chromosomal proteins at the NOR rather than the rDNA itself, and this was critically demonstrated by Ag- AS staining of the nucleolus organizer regions in karyotypes of the same species and cell lines used for locating the ribosomal cistrons by DNA/RNA in situ hybridization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visualization of Nucleolar Genes

TL;DR: The presence of extrachromosomal nucleoli in amphibian oocytes has permitted isolation and electron microscopic observation of the genes coding for ribosomal RNA precursor molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoclonal antibody analysis of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Structural conservation and the detection of a nucleolar form.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the PCNA protein may fulfil several separate roles in the cell nucleus associated with changes in its antigenic structure, including leading and lagging strand synthesis at the replication fork.
