Fibrillarin is one of the protein components that together with U3 snRNA constitute the U3 snRNP, a small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle involved in ribosomal RNA processing in eucaryotic cells. Using an antifibrillarin antiserum for protein detection and a fibrillarin cDNA and a synthetic oligonucleotide complementary to U3 snRNA as hybridization probes, the expression of these two components has been studied during Xenopus development. Fibrillarin mRNA is accumulated early in oogenesis, like many other messengers, and translated during oocyte growth. Fibrillarin protein is thus progressively accumulated throughout oogenesis to be assembled with U3 snRNA and used for ribosome production in the amplified nucleoli. After fertilization, the amount of U3 snRNA decreases while the maternally accumulated fibrillarin mRNA is maintained and utilized to produce more protein. After the mid-blastula transition, stored fibrillarin is assembled with newly synthesized U3 snRNA and becomes localized in the prenucleolar bodies and reforming nucleoli.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008856 Microscopy, Fluorescence Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye. Fluorescence Microscopy,Immunofluorescence Microscopy,Microscopy, Immunofluorescence,Fluorescence Microscopies,Immunofluorescence Microscopies,Microscopies, Fluorescence,Microscopies, Immunofluorescence
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D009866 Oogenesis The process of germ cell development in the female from the primordial germ cells through OOGONIA to the mature haploid ova (OVUM). Oogeneses
D002868 Chromosomal Proteins, Non-Histone Nucleoproteins, which in contrast to HISTONES, are acid insoluble. They are involved in chromosomal functions; e.g. they bind selectively to DNA, stimulate transcription resulting in tissue-specific RNA synthesis and undergo specific changes in response to various hormones or phytomitogens. Non-Histone Chromosomal Proteins,Chromosomal Proteins, Non Histone,Chromosomal Proteins, Nonhistone,Non-Histone Chromosomal Phosphoproteins,Chromosomal Phosphoproteins, Non-Histone,Non Histone Chromosomal Phosphoproteins,Non Histone Chromosomal Proteins,Nonhistone Chromosomal Proteins,Proteins, Non-Histone Chromosomal

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
