[Circadian rhythm of poly A polymerase in rat liver nuclei]. 1979

A Corti, and A Casti, and F Drusiani, and G P Rossini

Isolated nuclei from the liver of rats maintained under daily scheduled conditions of light (12 hrs) and food (8 hrs) showed a peak of Mn2+-dependent poly (A) polymerase activity 6 hrs after the beginning of the feeding period, as shown by DNA dependent RNA polymerase B. In fasting animals the peak of poly (A) polymerase occurs at 18.00.

D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
