TY - JOUR A1 - Thiry, Marc A1 - Scheer, Ulrich A1 - Goessens, Guy T1 - Localization of DNA within Ehrlich tumour cells nucleoli by immunoelectron microscopy N2 - 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.

A1 - Scheer, Ulrich T1 - Identification and definition of nucleolus-related fibrillar bodies in micronucleated cells N2 - 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.

Transcription of the ribosomal RNA genes as well as processing and initial packaging of their transcripts with ribosomal and non-ribosomal proteins all occur within the nucleolus in an ordered manner and under defined topological conditions. Components of the nucleolus have been localized by immunocytochemistry and their functional aspects investigated by microinjection of antibodies directed against the enzyme responsible for rDNA transcription, RNA polymerase I. The role of nascent transcripts in postmitotic formation of nucleoli will be discussed.

Es wird untersucht, ob die Azoren-Buchfinken "Rassengesang" und "Rassenrufe" haben. Gesange und Rufe wurden auf Tonband aufgenommen und klangspek trogra phiert. Motivgesang. Jedes cJ beherrscht 2-6 verschiedene Gesangsformen, wobei stets eine "Alltagsform" mit der stark vereinfachten Phrase di-djah endigt. Die anderen, weniger haufigeren Gesangsformen ("Sonntagsformen") zeigen eine besser ausgearbeitete Endphrase, die jedoch nie so kompliziert wie bei kontinentalen Buchfinken ist. In Gebieten, in denen sich bevorzugt Kanarienvogel aufhalten, konnen Buchfinken Gesangselemente iibernehmen. Sozialruf. Das kontinentale pink ist auf alIen Azoreninseln durch ga ersetzt, so daB man von einem Rassenruf sprechen kann. Er ist mit starker Aggressionsneigung verkniipft. Der Sozialruf zeigt einen weiten Frequenzumfang, hervorgerufen durch mehrere simultane Noten. Brutstimmungsruf (Regenruf). Eine Anzahl verschiedener Rufe wurde spektrographiert. Vom cJ ist er bei maBiger Gefahr, aber auch spontan (30-70 Rufe/Min.) zu horen. Flugruf. Er scheint mit dem Flugruf der Nominatform identisch zu sein. Bestimmung der Reviergrope. Ein cJ wurde innerhalb seines Reviers an die "akustische Leine" genommen und bis zu den Reviergrenzen gezogen. Verhalten und LautauBerung anderten sich in Abhangigkeit von der jeweiligen Entfernung bis zur Reviergrenze. N2 - The attempt was made to determine whether Azores chaffinches possess a "racial song" or "racial calls". The songs and calls were tape-recorded and sound-spectrographs were prepared. 1. The song motif. Each cJ possesses 2-6 different song types, among which there is an "everyday type" which always ends with the greatly simplified phrase: dee-chah. The other, less frequent song types ("Sunday types") exhibit a more developed final phrase, though this is not as complex as that of Continental chaffinches. In areas where canaries commonly occur, chaffinches may adopt some of their song elements. 2. The social call. The Continental pink is replaced by gai in all of the Azores island forms, so it is justifiable to speak of a "racial call". This call is correlated with a strong aggressive tendency; it exhibits a broad frequency range based upon simultaneous utterance of several notes. 3. The brooding call ("rain-call"). A number of different calls were spectrographed. With the cJ, this call can be heard in response to mild danger and also as a spontaneous utterance (30-70 calls /min.). 4. Flight call. This seems to be identical to the flight call of the nominate type. 5. Determination of territory size. A cJ was led within his territory on an "acoustical lead" and drawn to his territorial boundaries. His. behaviour and vocalizations altered in relation to the distance from the territorial boundary.

A1 - Zentgraf, Hanswalter A1 - Scheer, Ulrich T1 - Supranucleosomal and non-nucleosomal chromatin configurations N2 - A significant contribution to the understanding of chromatin organization was the d iscovery of the nucleosome as a globular repeating unit of the package of DNA (Hewish and Burgoyne, 1973; Woodcock, 1973; Kornberg, 1974; Olins and Olins, 1974; for review see Oudet et al., 1978 a) . 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. It is this structure in which the bulk of the nuclear chroma tin is organized in most eukaryotic cells, with the exception of the dinofl age llates (Rae and Steele, 1977; dinofl agellate DNA, however, c an be packed into nucleosoma l structures in vitro by addition of the appropriate amounts of histones;the same reference). Although it seems clear from the work reported that condensed and transcriptiona lly inactive chroma tin is contained in nucleosomes as the principle for first order p acking of DNA there are two important questions onto which we are focusing in the present study: ( i ) What is the higher order of p a cking present in - and perhaps typical-of - the condensed sta te of chromatin, and (ii) what is the specific form of arrangement of transcriptionally a ctive chromatin?

A1 - Scheer, Ulrich A1 - Herth, Werner T1 - Cytology, general and molecular cytology N2 - 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.
