Monoclonal antibodies raised against the 34-kD nucleolar protein, B-36, from the slime mold Physarum polycephalum have been used to examine the electron microscopic localization of B-36 during the cell cycle in Physarum. During interphase, B-36 is found primarily in regions corresponding to the dense fibrillar component. This is similar to what has been observed for the putative mammalian homologue of B-36, fibrillarin. During mitosis, B-36 remains associated with perichromosomal nucleolar remnants. With the Gautier DNA-specific staining procedure, the same nucleolar remnants are shown to contain short DNA segments, presumably rDNA molecules. These findings suggest that in Physarum, where the nucleolus is composed of several hundred extrachromosomal rDNA molecules, the dense fibrillar component and the "NOR" equivalents do not separate during mitosis as in mammalian cells. In addition, the B-36-enriched nucleolar remnants appear to be recycled from one cell cycle to the next.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008938 Mitosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division by means of which the two daughter nuclei normally receive identical complements of the number of CHROMOSOMES of the somatic cells of the species.

D010804 Physarum A genus of protozoa, formerly also considered a fungus. Characteristics include the presence of violet to brown spores. Physarums
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.
