Dynamics of coilin in Cajal bodies of the Xenopus germinal vesicle.
Cajal bodies (CBs) are complex organelles found in the nuclei of a wide variety of organisms, including vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, and yeast. In most cell types CBs are <1 microm in diameter, severely limiting the range of experimental observations that can be made on them. By contrast, CBs in the amphibian oocyte nucleus (also called the germinal vesicle) are 2-10 microm in diameter. ...
متن کاملOf coilin and Cajal bodies
A dystroglycan ligand in the brain ystroglycans are present on the surfaces of cells throughout the body, anchoring cells in the matrix that surrounds them. This function is conspicuously important for muscle cells. Defects in the protein dystrophin, which is D connected to dystroglycan, destabilize the connection of muscle cells to their matrix and cause muscular dystrophy. Dystroglycans are a...
متن کاملSteady-state dynamics of Cajal body components in the Xenopus germinal vesicle
Cajal bodies (CBs) are evolutionarily conserved nuclear organelles that contain many factors involved in the transcription and processing of RNA. It has been suggested that macromolecular complexes preassemble or undergo maturation within CBs before they function elsewhere in the nucleus. Most such models of CB function predict a continuous flow of molecules between CBs and the nucleoplasm, but...
متن کاملCajal bodies and coilin—moving towards function
Many nuclear factors are concentrated within nonmembrane-bound subnuclear bodies. The Cajal body is an example of a conserved nuclear compartment that has been linked to molecular disease. Recent studies have shown Cajal bodies to be surprisingly mobile and offer clues about their function in the cell.
متن کاملThe stem-loop binding protein (SLBP1) is present in coiled bodies of the Xenopus germinal vesicle.
The stem-loop binding protein (SLBP1) binds the 3' stem-loop of histone pre-mRNA and is required for efficient processing of histone transcripts in the nucleus. We examined the localization of SLBP1 in the germinal vesicle of Xenopus laevis oocytes. In spread preparations of germinal vesicle contents, an anti-SLBP1 antibody stained coiled bodies and specific chromosomal loci, including terminal...
