In addition, cytochemical reactions of nuclear structures and biochemical determinations of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA and of genome DNA content were performed. The data obtained and the structures observed are interpreted as demonstralions of transcriptional activities of different gene classes. The most prominent class is the nucleolar cistrons of precursors of ribosomal RNA which occur highly repeated in clusters in the form of regularly alternating intercepts on deoxyribonucleoprotein axes of transcribed rDNA, the fibril-covered matrix units, and the fibril-free "spacer" segments. A description and a classification of the various structural complexes which seem to represent transcriptional activities is given. Quantitative evaluations of these arrangements are presented. The morphology and the dimensions of such structures are compared with the RNA molecular weight determinations and with the corresponding data reported from various animal cell systems. It is suggested that the formation of the giant nucleus is correlated with, and probably due to, an enormous amplification of transcriptionally active rDNA and packing of the extrachromosomal copies into the large nucleolar aggregate bodies.}, subject = {Cytologie}, language = {en} } @article{Linsenmair1974, author = {Linsenmair, Karl Eduard}, title = {Some adaptations of the desert woodlouse Hemilepistus reaumuri (Isopoda, Oniscoidea) to desert environment}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-44483}, year = {1974}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @article{FrankeBergerFalketal.1974, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Berger, S. and Falk, Heinz and Spring, H. and Scheer, Ulrich and Trendelenburg, Michael F. and Schweiger, H.

It is demonstrated that early in nuclear grow th a characteristic perinucl ear structura l complex is formed which is, among the eukaryotic cells, unique to Acetabularia and re lated genera. This perinuclear system consists essentially of a) the nuclear envelope with a very hi gh pore frequency and various pore complex assoc iat ion s w ith granular and/or threadlike structures some of which are continuous with the nucleolus; b) an approx imate ly 100 nm thick intermediate zone densely filled with a filam entOus material and occasional sma ll membraneous structures from which the typical cytOplasmic and nuclear organe lles and particles are excl ud ed ; c) an adjacent Iacunar labyrinthum which is interrupted by many plasmatic junction channels between the intermed iate zone and the free cytOplasm; d) numerous dense perinuclear bodies in the juxtanuclear cytOplasm which a re especia lly frequent at the junction channels and reveal a composition of aggregated fibrillar and granul ar structures; e) very dense exclusively fibrill ar agg regates which occur either in assoc iation with t he perinuclear region of the lacunar labyrinthum or, somewhat further out, in the cytOplasmic strands between the bra nches of the lacun ar labyrinthum in the form of slender, characteristic rods or "sausages".}, language = {en} } @article{JacklSebald1974, author = {Jackl, G. and Sebald, Walter}, title = {Identification of two products of mitochondrial protein synthesis associated with oligomycin-sensitive ATPase from Neurospora crassa}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-82093}, year = {1974}, abstract = {no abstract available}, subject = {Physiologische Chemie}, language = {en} } @article{FrankeScheerHerth1974, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Scheer, Ulrich and Herth, Werner}, title = {Cytology, general and molecular cytology}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39499}, year = {1974}, abstract = {The present article had originally been conceived as a review on endomembranes, the plasma membrane, and the major product of membrane-bound activities, the cell wall material. However, limitations of space and the cascading number of pertinent literature articles made it necessary to confine this to one group of membranes and one type of cell wall components. Therefore, we shall begin our survey on the biochemical and cytological aspects of membranes by a review of the class of the pore complex bearing endomembranes, i.e. the nuclear envelope and the annulate lamellae (AL). Next year the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and the dictyosomes will be dealt with in conjunction with a discussion of the various intracellular vesicles, the tonoplast and the plasmalemma.}, subject = {Botanik}, language = {en} } @article{KreftGoebel1974, author = {Kreft, J{\"u}rgen and Goebel, Werner}, title = {Complex Co1E1 DNA in Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-47044}, year = {1974}, abstract = {Incubation of the colicinogenic Escherichia coli strain JC 411 (ColE1) at elevated temperatures (47-49°) leads to the accumulation of catenated molecules and replicative intermediates of this plasmid. Mature supercoiled OolE1 DNA molecules synthesized under these conditions have an increased number of tertiary turns as shown by electron microscopy. The monomeric tightly supercoiled molecules possess a slightly slower sedimentation rate and a higher binding capacity for ethidium bromide than supercoiJed monomers synthesized at lower temperatures. Recombination deficient mutants of E. coli recA, recB and recC, which carry the ColE1 plasmid, form about the same amount of catenated molecules at the elevated temperature as a rec+ strain. In addition, we have observed by electron microscopy a small percentage (.--.5\% of the circular DNA molecules) of minicircular DNA molecules in all preparations of JC 411 (CoIE1). They are homogenous in size, with a molecular weight of 1.4 X 106 daltons. Addition of chloramphenicol to a culture of Proteus mirabilis (ColE1) leads to an increased amount of higher multiple circular oligomers and to a stimulated accumulation of catenated OolE1 DNA molecules of varying sizes. ColE1 DNA synthesis is more thermosensitive than chromosomal DNA replication in P. mirabili8. Plasmid replication stops completely at temperatures above 43°C.}, language = {en} }
