As luck would have it, the "primary data" of Boveri's experimental work, namely the microscope slides prepared by him and his wife Marcella during several stays at the Zoological Station in Naples (1901/02, 1911/12 and 1914), have survived at the University of Wurzburg. More than 600 slides exist and despite their age they are in a surprisingly good condition. The slides are labelled and dated in Boveri's handwriting and thus can be assigned to his published experimental work on sea urchin development. The results allowed Boveri to unravel the role of the cell nucleus and its chromosomes in development and inheritance. Here, I present an overview of the slides in the context of Boveri's work along with photographic images of selected specimens taken from the original slides. It is planned to examine the slides in more detail, take high-resolution focal image series of significant specimens and make them online available.}, language = {en} } @article{FischerWeisenbergerScheer1992, author = {Fischer, D. and Weisenberger, D. and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {In situ hybridization of DIG-labeled rRNA probes to mouse liver ultrathin sections}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-69458}, year = {1992}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Hybridisierung }, language = {en} } @article{Scheer1994, author = {Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Harold Garnet Callan 1917-1993}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-80789}, year = {1994}, abstract = {Professor Harold Gamet Callan, honorary member of the German Society for Cell Biology, died on the 3rd November 1993, at the age of 76.

This novel type of chromatin is not arranged in Christmas tree-Iike configurations of densely packed lateral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) fibriIs but is characterized by a periodic alternating pattern of thick and thin regions which occur in clusters 01 some 10,000 repeats. Each thickened unit with an average length of 45 nm contains two c10sely spaced particles, the putative RNA polymerases, and each thickened unit is separated from the next one by a beaded chromatin spacer with a length of about 80 nm. This chromatin spacer contains on average two particles of approximately 14 nm in diameter, assumed to be nucleosomes. The thickened regions are interpreted to represent short transcriptional units containing approximately 130 base pairs of DNA which are separated from each other by nontranscribed spacers of 240-400 base pairs of DNA. The possibility is discussed that these transcriptional units represent 5S rRNA or tRNA genes.}, language = {en} } @article{BenaventeScheerChaly1989, author = {Benavente, Ricardo and Scheer, Ulrich and Chaly, Nathalie}, title = {Nucleocytoplasmic sorting of macromolecules following mitosis: fate of nuclear constituents after inhibition of pore complex function}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-40777}, year = {1989}, abstract = {PtK2 cells in which pore complex-mediated transport is blocked by microinjection early in mitosis of a monoclonal antibody (specific for an Mr 68000 pore complex glycoprotein) or of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) complete cytokinesis. However, their nuclei remain stably arrested in a telophase-like organization characterized by highly condensed chromatin and the absence of nucleoli, indicating a requirement for pore-mediated transport for the reassembly of interphase nuclei. We have now examined this requirement more closely by monitoring the behavior of individual nuclear macromolecules in microinjected cells using immunofluorescence microscopy and have investigated the effect of microinjecting the antibody or WGA on cellular ultrastructure. The absence of nuclear transport did not affect the sequestration into daughter nuclei of components such as DNA, DNA topoisomerase I and the nucleolar protein fibrillarin that are carried through mitosis on chromosomes. On the other hand, lamins, snRNAs and the p68 pore complex glycoprotein, all cytoplasmic during mitosis, remained largely cytoplasmic in the telophase-arrested cells. Electron microscopy showed the nuclei to be surrounded by a doublelayered membrane with some inserted pore complexes. In addition, however, a variety of membranous structures with associated pore complexes was regularly noted in the cytoplasm, suggesting that chromatin may not be essential for the postmitotic formation of pore complexes. We propose that cellular compartmentalization at telophase is a two-step process. First, a nuclear envelope tightly encloses the condensed chromosomes, excluding non-selectively all macromolecules not associated with the chromosomes. Interphase nuclear organization is then progressively restored by selective pore complex-mediated uptake of nuclear proteins from the cytoplasm.}, subject = {Cytologie}, language = {en} } @misc{ReimerRaskaTanetal.1987, author = {Reimer, Georg and Raska, Ivan and Tan, Eng M. and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Human autoantibodies: probes for nucleolus structure and function}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-41410}, year = {1987}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @article{KnechtScheer1972, author = {Knecht, Sigrid and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Die Liste der Vogelarten von S.
