  abstract  = {W{\"a}hrend einer viermonatigen Reise zu allen neun Azoreninseln wurde der gesamte Brutvogelbestand dieses Archipels untersucht. Die Befunde sind in einer detaillierten Artenliste zusammengefaßt, erg{\"a}nzt durch {\"o}kologische und brutbiologische Anmerkungen. Zahlreiche Beobachtungen lassen vermuten, daß vor allem Stieglitz und Kanarienvogel t{\"a}gliche und auch jahreszeitlich bedingte interinsulare Fl{\"u}ge unternehmen. Die Laut{\"a}ußerungen sechs verschiedener Vogel arten sind in Klangspektrogrammen dargestellt. Ein mathematischer Ansatz zeigt, daß sich die Anzahl der auf einer bestimmten Insel br{\"u}tenden Landvogelarten umgekehrt proportional zur Entfernung zum europ{\"a}ischen Festland und proportional zum Logarithmus naturalis der Inselfl{\"a}che verh{\"a}lt. Die abgeleitete Formel l{\"a}ßt sich prinzipiell auch auf andere Atlantikinseln anwenden, die weitgehend vom Festland isoliert sind.},

  abstract  = {Visualizing nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), nucleoprotein complexes and chromatin requires the use of special electron microscopicspreading techniques. In part 4 (27 refs.), methods are outlined for spreading DNA and RNA molecules for electron microscopic observation, these methods using modifications of the basic protein film method developed by A. Kleinschmidt and R. K. Zahn (1959). Hybridization techniques that allow the observation of heteroduplexes formed between two DNA molecules or between DNA and RNA molecules are reviewed, with special emphasis being placed on the DNA-RNA hybrids as a tool for elucidating RNA splicing. Techniques for studying DNA-protein interactions without the use of a protein monolayer film are mentioned. Finally, the "Miller spreading technique" for visualizing the nucleosomal organization of eukaryotic chromatin as well as the transcription of genes is discribed and illustrated.},

  abstract  = {Structural details of the dictyosomal pores in several plant cell types are described from tangential and cross sections of Golgi cisternae. Frequency distributions of the sizes of such Golgi pores are given and compared with the corresponding values of nuclear pores in the same cells. Golgi pore inner diameters are less homogeneously distributed and can be as small as 100 A or less. They are not simply cisterna I holes, but are often associated with centrally located electron dense granules or rods and with inner pore filaments. This organization, which is very common in dictyosomal pores in plant and animal cells, has some similarities with the structural architecture of nuclear envelope and annulate lamellar pore complexes. The particulate material associated with the dictyosomal pores shows spatial and structural relationship to cytoplasmic ribosomes. Possible modes of Golgi pore formation and some consequences of these observations for interpretation of nuclear pore structures are discussed.},

Lampbrush chromosomes of am-phibian oocytes directly display this radial loop Organization in cytological preparations. In order to find out whether topo II may play a role in the Organization of these meiotic chromosomes, we performed immunofluorescence studies using antibodies against Xenopus topo II. Our results indicate that topo II is apparently absent from lampbrush chromosomes and is hence unlikely to act as a "fastener" of the numerous lateral chromosomal loops. Topo II was, however, enriched in the amplified nucleoli of Xenopus oocytes.},

  abstract  = {Small nucleolus-related bodies which occur in the nUcleoplasm of " micronuclei" lacking nucleolar organizers have been studied by immunofluorescence microscopy. These bodies stained specifically with three different antibodies directed against proteins that are normally associated with the dense fibrillar component of functional nucleoli, but not with antibodies specific for certain proteins of the granular component or the fibrillar centers. Our data show that, in the absence of rRNA genes, the various constituent proteins characteristic of the dense fibrillar component spontaneously assemble into spherical entities but that the subsequent fusion of these bodies into larger structures is prevented in these micronuclei. The similarity between these nucleolus-related bodies of micronuclei and the prenucleolar bodies characteristic of early stages of nucleologenesis during mitotic telophase is discussed.},

  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.},

  abstract  = {Lampbrush chromosomes of amphibian oocytes were isolated in the presence of near-physiological salt concentrations, to preserve their native state, and studied by electron microscopy of ultrathin s~dions. 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.},

  abstract  = {Nucleoli provide the fascinating possibility of linking morphologically distinct structures such as those seen in the electron microscope with biochemical f eatures of the formation and step wise maturation of ribosomes. Localization of proteins by immunocytochemistry and of rRNA genes and their transcripts by in situ hybridization has greatly improved our understanding of the structural-functional relationships of the nucleolus. The present review describes some recent results obtained by electron microscopic in situ hybridization and argues that this approach has the potential to correlate each step of the complex pre-rRNA maturation pathway with nucleolar structures. Evidence is accumulating that the nucleolus-specific U3 snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles) participate in rRNA processing events, similar to the role played by the nucleoplasmic snRNPs in mRNA maturation. The intranucleolar distribution of U3 snRNA is consistent with the view that it is involved in both early and late stages of pre-rRNA processing.},
