The transcriptional state of the lampbrush chromosomes was experimentally modulated by incubating the oocytes for various time periods in medium containing actinomycin D. The observations show that the structure of the lateral loops changes rapidly in response to alterations in transcriptional activity. During decreasing transcriptional activity and reduced packing density of transcripts, the chromatin axis first condensed into nucleosomes and then into an approximately 30 nm thick higher order chromatin fiber. Packaging of the loop axis into supranucleosomal structures may contribute to the foreshortening and retraction of the loops observed during inhibition of transcription and in later stages of meiotic prophase. The increasing packing density of the DNA during the retraction process of the loops could also be visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies to DNA. The dependence of the loop chromatin structure on transcriptional activity is discussed in relation to current views of mechanisms involved in gene activation.}, language = {en} } @article{ThiryScheerGoessens1988, author = {Thiry, Marc and Scheer, Ulrich and Goessens, Guy}, title = {Localization of DNA within Ehrlich tumour cells nucleoli by immunoelectron microscopy}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39327}, year = {1988}, abstract = {The distribution of DNA in Ehrlich tumour cell nucleoli was investigated by means of an immunocytochemical approach , involving a monoclonal antibody directed against double- and single-stranded DNA. Immunolabelling was performed . either before or after the embedding process. The postembedding labelling method allows better ultrastructural preservation than the preembedding labelling method. In particular, the various nucleolar components are well preserved and identifiable. In the nucleolus, labelling is particularly concentrated over the perinucleolar chromatin and over its intranucleolar invaginations, which penetrate the nucleolar body and often terminate at the fibrillar centres. In addition, aggregates of gold particles are found in the fibrillar centres, preferentially towards the peripheral regions. By contrast, the dense fibrillar component is completely devoid of labelling. The results seem to indicate that DNA containing the rDNA genes is located in the fibrillar centres, with a preference for the peripheral regions. This finding suggests that transcription of the rDNA genes should occur within the confines of the fibrillar centre, probably close to the boundary region of the surrounding dense fibrillar component. The results are discussed in the light of present knowledge of the functional organization of the nucleolus.}, language = {en} } @incollection{ScheerSpringTrendelenburg1979, author = {Scheer, Ulrich and Spring, Herbert and Trendelenburg, Michael F.}, title = {Organization of transcriptionally active chromatin in lampbrush chromosome loops}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39293}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1979}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @incollection{FrankeScheerSpringetal.1979, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Scheer, Ulrich and Spring, Herbert and Trendelenburg, Michael F. and Zentgraf, Hanswalter}, title = {Organization of nucleolar chromatin}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39410}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1979}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @article{BenaventeSchmidtZachmannHuegleDoerretal.1988, author = {Benavente, Ricardo and Schmidt-Zachmann, Marion S. and H{\"u}gle-D{\"o}rr, B. and Reimer, G. and Rose, K.

In accord with the original definition and in ag reement with most workers in this field of research we identify a nucleosome as a spheric alor slightly oblate gr anular particle 10-13 nm in diameter, containing about 200 base pairs of DNA and two of each of the four his tones H2a, H2b, H3 and H4.
