In oocytes of Pleurodeles waltlii, the method of Miller and Beatty has been combined with a method of high-resolution autoradiography especially suitable for the study of isolated molecules. In vitro labeling of RNA by tritiated precursors was carried out with increasing incubation times (1, 4, 15, 24, 48, and 72 h). Silver grains were present over ribonucleoprotein fibrils in amounts sufficient for quantitative analysis of nucleolar DNA transcription. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that: (a) The units of any one nucleolus exhibited a large degree of heterogeneity in their number of grains. (b) There was a parallelism between the increasing grain number and the ribonucleoprotein-fibril lengthening as observed along the transcription unit.
在肋突螈的卵母细胞中,米勒和比蒂的方法已与一种特别适用于分离分子研究的高分辨率放射自显影方法相结合。用氚标记的前体对RNA进行体外标记,并延长孵育时间(1、4、15、24、48和72小时)。核糖核蛋白纤维上存在足够数量的银颗粒,可用于对核仁DNA转录进行定量分析。对数据的统计分析表明:(a)任何一个核仁的单位在其颗粒数量上表现出很大程度的异质性。(b)沿着转录单位观察到,颗粒数量的增加与核糖核蛋白纤维的延长之间存在平行关系。
