Salivary gland cells in the larvae of the dipteran Chironomus tentans offer unique
possibilities to visualize the assembly and nucleocytoplasmic transport of a specific …

In the larval salivary glands of C. tentans, it is possible to visualize by electron microscopy
how Balbiani ring (BR) pre-mRNA associates with proteins to form pre-mRNP particles, how …

Balbiani ring (BR) pre-mRNP particles reside in the nuclei of salivary glands of the dipteran
Chironomus tentans and carry the message for giant-sized salivary proteins. In the present …

It has been difficult to establish whether pre-messenger ribonucleoprotein (pre-mRNP)
particles move from the gene towards the periphery of the nucleus in a directed or random …

The transport of Balbiani ring (BR) premessenger RNP particles in the larval salivary gland
cells of the dipteran Chironomus tentans can be followed using electron microscopy. A BR …

In the salivary glands of the dipteran Chironomus tentans, a specific messenger
ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particle, the Balbiani ring (BR) granule, can be visualized during …

During translocation the tightly packed RNP filament is gradually unfolded, and on the
cytoplasmic side the mRNA is immediately engaged in polysome formation. dimensions …

The ultrastructural distribution of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U1-snRNP and Sm
antigen) in the nucleus of Chironomus salivary gland cells was investigated by means of …

Balbiani ring granules in Chironomus salivary glands represent premessenger
ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles, each containing a 35-to 40-kb message for a secretory …

THE general way of thinking about the pathway of expression of genetic information in
eukaryotes, from DNA to protein via RNA, instills a protein-centric point of view, as if the …
