Nuclear Envelope

Electron microscopy shows that the nucleus is surrounded by two parallel membranes separated by a narrow space (40-70 nm) called the perinuclear cisterna (Figures 3-2 and 3-4). Together, the paired membranes and the intervening space make up the nuclear envelope. Closely associated with the internal membrane of the nuclear envelope is a protein structure called the fibrous lamina (Figure 3-4), which helps to stabilize the nuclear envelope. The fibrous lamina is composed of three main proteins called lamins A, B, and C. In nondividing cells, chromosomes are associated with the fibrous lamina (Figure 3-5). The pattern of association is regular from cell to cell within a tissue, supporting the conclusion that chromosomes have a definite localization within the nucleus. Polyribosomes are attached to the outer membrane, showing that the nuclear envelope is a part of the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins synthesized in the polyribosomes attached to the nuclear envelope are temporarily segregated in the perinuclear cisterna. At sites at which the inner and outer membranes of the nuclear envelope fuse, there are gaps, the nuclear pores (Figures 3-6 and 3-7), that provide controlled pathways between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The pores are not open but show an octagonal pore complex made of more than 100 proteins (Figure 3–8). Because the nuclear envelope is impermeable to ions and molecules of all sizes, the exchange of substances between the nucleus and the cytoplasm is made only through the nuclear pores. Ions and molecules with a diameter up to 9 nm pass freely through the nuclear pore without consuming energy. But molecules and molecular complexes larger than 9 nm are transported by an active process, mediated by receptors, which uses energy from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and takes place in two stages. First, proteins with one or several nuclear signal locations become attached to specific cytosolic proteins, originating a complex, which is temporarily attached to the nuclear pore complex without using energy. In the second stage, proteins with nuclear signal locations are transferred to the nucleus, using energy from ATP, and the cytosolic protein remains in the cytoplasm. At least part of the ATP energy may be utilized to open the nuclear pore complex to make the passage of large molecules possible. Less is known about the transfer of molecules and molecular complexes, some as large as ribosome subunits, from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Arrowheads indicate the perinuclear cisterna. Underneath the cisterna is a layer of heterochromatin, the main component of the so-called nuclear membrane seen under the light microscope. x26,000.

Illustration showing the structure, the localization, and the relationship of the nuclear lamina with chromosomes. The drawing also shows that the nuclear pore complex is composed of two protein rings in an octagonal organization. From the cytoplasmic ring, long filaments penetrate the cytosol, and from the intranuclear ring arise filaments that constitute a basketlike structure. The presence of the central cylindrical granule in the nuclear pore is not universally accepted.

I have actually installed Samsung Universal vehicle driver.

And now my ml-1210 does not function and gain 8 restricting me from transforming its vehicle driver
to ml-2250, stating that current (not operating) motorist is the much better one.
Exactly how did you dealt with this?

I have actually set up Samsung Universal driver. And now my ml-1210 does not work and win 8 limiting me
from changing its motorist to ml-2250, pointing out that present (not working) vehicle driver
is the better one. How did you handled this?

An interesting discussion is worth comment.
I think that you ought to publish more about this topic,
it might not be a taboo subject but generally people do not
talk about these issues. To the next! Cheers!!

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly.
I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it
in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

clearly fitted pants or a pair of jeans, worn together with fancy tonneaus, high-heels and amazing make-up, can be as
good as any other club be dressed in. If you're taking your baby out for Halloween, the baby tutu could also be a nice costume for the child, one that she could keep and cherish.
If you 're looking for something a little more colorful, you
'll want to take a peek over the rainbow - the lion mane that is.

Independently of whether you admire minimalism or you
better like pendants, sparkles or stones, your desires would be taken into account and satisfied
100%. Creating your new great image with belly
button rings jewelry became much easier, so help yourself in order to look
attractive with beautiful navel rings.
