We used antibodies to trace the appearance of a specific protein engaged in transcription of a defined dass of genes, those coding for rRNA, during reactivation. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we found increasing amounts of rat RNA polymerase I to appear, during a certain period of time after fusion, in the reforming nudeoli of the chick nudei. Amounts of rat RNA polymerase I sufficient to be detected by immunofluorescence microscopy had accumulated in the newly developed chick nudeoli 72- 190 h after fusion was initiated. This time interval coincides with the time when chick rRNA synthesis can first be detected. The results raise the possibility that during these stages of the reactivation process chick rRNA genes are transcribed by heterologous RNA polymerase I moleeules of rat origin.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZentgrafScheerFranke1976, author = {Zentgraf, Hanswalter and Scheer, Ulrich and Franke, Werner W.}, title = {On the existence of arrested transcriptional machinery in late stages of avian erythropoiesis}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-33696}, year = {1976}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{FrankeScheer1974, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Pathways of nucleocytoplasmic translocation of ribonucleoproteins}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-33832}, year = {1974}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TrendelenburgFrankeSpringetal.1975, author = {Trendelenburg, M.

Consequently, nuclear envelopes , which can be manually isolated in great purity, provide a remarkable enrichment of nuclear pore complex material, relative to membranous and other interporous structures. When the polypeptides of nuclear envelopes isolated from oocytes of Xenopl/s la evis and Triturus alpestris are examined by gel electrophoresis, visualized either by staining with Coomassie blue or by radiotluorography after in vitro reaction with [3H]dansyl chloride , a characteristic pattern is obtained (10 major and 15 minor bands). This polypeptide pattern is radically different from that of the nuclear contents isolated from the same cell. Extraction of the nuclear envelope with high salt concentrations and moderateIy ac tive detergents such as Triton X- 100 results in the removal of membrane material but leaves most of the non-membranous structure of the pore complexes. The dry weight of the pore complex (about 0.2 femtograms) remains essentially unchanged during such extractions as measured by quantitative electron microscopy . The extracted preparations which are highly enriched in nuclear pore complex material contain only two major polypeptide components with apparent molecular weights of 150000 and 73000. Components of such an electrophoretic mobility are not present as major bands , if at all , in nuclear contents extracted in the same way. lt is concluded that these two polypeptides are the major constituent protein(s) of the oocyte nuclear pore complex and are specific for this structure. When nuclear envelopes are isolated from rat liver and extracted with high salt buffers and Triton X- 100 similar bands are predominant, but two additional major components of molecular weights of 78000 and 66000 are also recognized. When the rat liver nuclear membranes are further subfractionated material enriched in the 66000 molecular weight component can be separated from the membrane material, indicating that this is relatively loosely associated material , probably a part of the nuclear matrix . The results suggest that the nuclear pore complex is not only a characteristic ubiquitous structure but also contains similar, if not identical , skeletal proteins that are remarkably re sistant to drastic changes of ionic strength as weil as to treatments with detergents and thiol reagents.}, language = {en} } @article{MorenoDiazdelaEspinaFrankeKrohneetal.1982, author = {Moreno-Diaz de la Espina, Susana and Franke, Werner W. and Krohne, Georg and Trendelenburg, Michael F. and Grund, Christine and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {Medusoid fibril bodies: a novel type of nuclear filament of diameter 8 to 12 nm with periodic ultrastructure demonstrated in oocytes of Xenopus laevis}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-34116}, year = {1982}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @article{FrankeScheer1970, author = {Franke, Werner W. and Scheer, Ulrich}, title = {The ultrastructure of the nuclear envelope of amphibian oocytes: a reinvestigation.
