Proteins of the newt oocyte nucleus: analysis of the nonhistone proteins from lampbrush chromosomes, nucleoli and nuclear sap.
نویسنده
چکیده
An electrophoretic analysis has been carried out on the total protein of lampbrush chromosomes, nucleoli and nuclear sap, obtained from newt oocyte nuclei. In each case, distinctive and heterogeneous banding patterns are observed. The absence of detectable quantities of histones in occyte chromatin is noted. In the case of the lampbrush chromosome preparation, it is concluded that all protein species are derived from the ribonucleoprotein matrix of the lateral loops.

Nonhistone proteins of the oocyte nucleus of the newt.
Evidence has been obtained which indicates that disulphide bond crosslinks contribute to the morphological integrity of isolated lampbrush chromosomes (both chromomeres and lateral loops) and nucleoli. It is suggested that the progressive formation of these bonds in vitro by aerial oxidation may provide the basis for the previously recognized time-dependent hardening or 'denaturing' of these st...
متن کاملInvolvement of Contractile Proteins in the Changes in Consistency of Oocyte Nucleoplasm of the Newt Pleurodeles waltui
In the present work, we show that actin is present in considerable quantities in the oocyte nucleus of the newt Pleurodeles walthi . The nuclear sap, extracted in saline buffer containing Ca", is fluid. DNAase I inhibition assays have shown that 90% of actin is under a globular state in such conditions . Chelation of Ca" by EGTA leads to the formation of a nuclear gel composed of individual mic...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies that recognize transcription unit proteins on newt lampbrush chromosomes
We prepared hybridoma cell lines from mice injected with newt germinal vesicle proteins. We tested culture supernates from these cell lines for antibodies that bound to specific morphological structures in lampbrush chromosome preparations (nucleoli, loops, chromomeres, etc.). Four mAbs that recognize antigens on the lateral transcription loops are described here. We suggest that these antigens...
متن کاملThe role of lampbrush chromosomes in the formation of nucleoli in amphibian oocytes.
Theories concerning the mode of origin of peripheral nucleoli in amphibian oocytes have been examined and tested. In Triturus cristatus the giant fusing loops of the 3 shortest lampbrush bivalents resemble nucleoli when viewed in phase contrast and may be considered as possible sites of production of nucleoli. Giant fusing loops, however, differ from peripheral nucleoli in certain important res...
متن کاملChromosomal Localization of Repetitive Dna in the Newt, Triturus
The repetitive DNA sequences of the newt, Triturus viridescens, have been studied by nucleic acid hybridization procedures. Complementary RNA was synthesized enzymatically from unfractionated newt DNA. This RNA hybridized strongly to the centromeric regions of both somatic and lampbrush chromosomes It also bound to other loci scattered along the lengths of the chromosomes The amplified ribosoma...
