We studied the behaviour in interphase and mitotic human cells of a 125 kDa (pI 6.5) antigen, associated with the nuclear matrix and detected in proliferating cells. Indirect immunofluorescence with a specific monoclonal antibody reveals that during interphase in WISH and Namalwa cells, as well as phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes, the antigen displays a speckled distribution in the nucleoplasm of all cells. At early prophase the fluorescence intensity of the coalesced speckles increases markedly. During metaphase and anaphase the antigen gives maximal fluorescence distributed diffusely in the nucleoplasm, while chromosomes remain negative. At anaphase and cytokinesis the antigen is still cytoplasmic, but fluorescence intensity decreases. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting reveal that the p125/6.5 antigen displays a net increase in isolated mitotic cells as compared to interphase cells. These results suggest that the p125/6.5 protein participates in late G2 phase and G2/M transition events preparing the cell for mitosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007399 Interphase The interval between two successive CELL DIVISIONS during which the CHROMOSOMES are not individually distinguishable. It is composed of the G phases (G1 PHASE; G0 PHASE; G2 PHASE) and S PHASE (when DNA replication occurs). Interphases
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.

D009687 Nuclear Proteins Proteins found in the nucleus of a cell. Do not confuse with NUCLEOPROTEINS which are proteins conjugated with nucleic acids, that are not necessarily present in the nucleus. Nucleolar Protein,Nucleolar Proteins,Nuclear Protein,Protein, Nuclear,Protein, Nucleolar,Proteins, Nuclear,Proteins, Nucleolar
D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

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
