Specific transcription of eukaryotic tRNA genes in Xenopus germinal vesicle extracts.
Cloned tRNA genes from Drosophila and from yeast have been transcribed faithfully in extracts prepared from Xenopus germinal vesicles. The newly formed RNA is composed of precursor tRNAs (of 5S RNA size) and of tRNAs. The plasmid pCIT12 carries genes for Drosophila tRNALys, tRNAArg, and tRNAAsn, Nucleotide analysis of one RNA species transcribed from pCIT12 DNA showed it to be identical to Dros...
متن کاملTranscription of mulu ' meric tRNA genes
We have constructed a set of plasmids carrying a tRNA gene from C^. elegans in a head to tail diraeric and trimeric arrangement with virtually no spacer sequence. We show that in two different transcriptional systems, each coding region functions as an internal promoter directing the synthesis of independent transcriptional products. This is in contrast with the property of natural head to tail...
متن کاملDynamics 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 کاملTwo control regions for eukaryotic tRNA gene transcription.
Two Drosophila tRNALys genes with identical coding sequences were shown to transcribe with very different efficiences in nuclear extracts from Xenopus oocytes. The use of recombinant plasmids in which the 5'-flanking sequences of these genes were either "switched" or replaced by defined pBR322 sequences revealed two control regions for tRNA gene transcription. An internal control region compris...
متن کاملGerminal vesicle breakdown in the Xenopus laevis oocyte: description of a transient microtubular structure.
During progesterone-induced meiotic maturation of Xenopus oocytes in vitro, 7 morphological stages were defined. Using cytological analysis, nuclear breakdown was divided into three stages. Stage 1 corresponded to basal germinal vesicle breakdown. Stage 2 was characterized by the advent and development of a fibrillar network formed by microtubules at the basal part of the nucleus. Below, a lame...
