On the chemical nature of the nuclear pore complex material}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-39500}, year = {1972}, abstract = {In order to investigate the chemical composition of the nuclear pore complexes isolated nuclei from mature Xenopus laevis oocytes were manually fractioned into nucleo· plasmic aggregates and the nuclear envelopes. The whole isolation procedure takes no more than 60- 90 sec, and the pore complexes of the isolated envelopes are well preserved as demonstrated by electron microscopy. Minor nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic contaminations associated with the isolated nuclear envelopes were determined with electron microscopic morphometry and were found to be quantitatively negligible as far as their mass and nucleic acid content is concerned. The RNA content of the fractions was determined by direct phosphorus analysis after differential alkaline hydrolysis. Approximately 9\% of the total nuclear RNA of the mature Xenopus egg was found to be attached to the nuclear envelope. The nonmembranous elements of one pore complex contain 0.41 X 10- 16 g RNA. This value agrees well with the content estimated from morphometric data. The RNA package density in the pore complexes (270 X 10- 15 g/fJ-3) is compared with the nucleolar, nucleoplasmic and cytoplasmic RNA concentration and is discussed in context with the importance of the pore complexes for the nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of RNA-containing macromolecules. Additionally, the results of the chemical analyses as well as of the 3H-actinomycin D autoradiography and of the nucleoprotein staining method of Bernhard (1969) speak against the occurence of considerable amounts of DNA in the nuclear pore complex structures.}, language = {en} } @article{EckertFrankeScheer1972, author = {Eckert, W.

Possible reasons for the diversity between these results and earlier observations using negatively stained isolated nuclear envelopes from the same objects are discussed. The results clearly show that the presence of central granules within the nuclear pores does neither depend on nuclear RNA synthesis nor does indicate nucleocytoplasmic RNA transport. This conclusion leads to a reconsideration of the nature of the central granule. The functioning of the central granule of the nuclear pore complexes is further discussed in connection with recent studies on the ultrastructure of various types of cisternal pores.}, language = {en} } @book{KartenbeckZentgrafScheeretal.1971, author = {Kartenbeck, J. and Zentgraf, H. and Scheer, Ulrich and Franke, Werner W.}, title = {The nuclear envelope in freeze-etching}, isbn = {3-540-05538-X}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-40534}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1971}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Anatomie}, language = {en} } @article{FrankeKartenbeckZentgrafetal.1971, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Kartenbeck, J{\"u}rgen and Zentgraf, Hanswalter and Scheer, Ulrich and Falk, Heinz}, title = {Membrane-to-membrane cross-bridges.

Additionally, clusters of dense granules were observed in the cytoplasm which were often associated with polysomes and strongly resembled the so-called "heavy bodies" known in particular in diverse oocytes. The functional meaning of these structures is discussed. Moreover, it is deduced from the ultrastructural identity of the pore complexes in the nuclear envelope and the cytoplasmic and intranuclear annulate lamellae that the pore complex material with its highly ordered arrangement is not a structure characteristic for nucleocytoplasmically migrating material, but rather is a general structural expression of a tight binding of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) to cisternal membranes. The pore complexes are thought of as representing sites of a RNP-storage. A similar functioning is hypothesized for the "heavy body"like aggregates. To the current hypotheses on the formation of annulate lamellae and the nuclear envelope, which are based on the concept of membrane continuities and constancies, the alternative view of a self assembly mechanism of membrane constituents on nucleoprotein structures is added.}, subject = {Cytologie}, language = {en} } @article{Scheer1970, author = {Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {The ultrastructure of the nuclear envelope of amphibian oocytes: a reinvestigation.
