Evidence for a polarized movement of the lateral loops of newt lampbrush chromosomes during oogenesis.

Actinomycin D inhibits RNA synthesis on the lateral loops of newt lampbrush chromsomes. Partial inhibition does not provoke marked morphological alteration of ordinary lateral loops, most of which recover to the full their capacity for RNA synthesis within 2 days of treatment. However, occasional ordinary loops do not recover completely within the first few days after treatment, and in such loo...

Genomic function during the lampbrush chromosome stage of amphibian oogenesis.

Throughout its lengthy developmental history the disposition of the genetic material in the amphibian o6cyte nucleus differs from that in other cell types. The chromosomes in the o6cyte nucleus, arrested for the whole of oogenesis at the prophase of the first meiotic division, are known to contain at least the tetraploid amount of DNA." 2 Odgenesis in amphibia requires months or even years to c...

Chromosomes of amphibian oocytes as a model for gene expression: significance of lampbrush loops.

Amphibian lampbrush chromosome loops exhibit morphological variability in their RNP matrix. The biological significance of such variability remains unknown. In order to approach this problem, the structural organization of each RNP matrix type was analyzed in relation to transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. First, autoradiographic and transcription inhibition studies in conjuncti...

Single stranded nucleic acid binding structures on chicken lampbrush chromosomes.

In chicken oocytes, proteins of the K/J family or their analogs, such as are known to be involved in mRNA processing in humans, are closely associated with nascent C-rich RNA transcripts on the loops of lampbrush chromosomes. Using labelled single stranded nucleotide probes and an antibody to protein K, these C-rich transcripts have been mapped to six different pairs of lampbrush loops situated...

Modifications of lampbrush chromosome structure of the European domestic goose Anser anser

Lampbrush chromosomes (LBCs) represent a new model in avian cytogenetics and are increasingly more often used in poultry chromosome analyses. Additionally, lampbrush chromosomes are considered as model structures in the study of transcription regulation. Changes in transcription activity are reflected as modifications of LBC morphological structure and associated with physiological processes in...
