The nucleolus also participates in the formation of signal recognition particles and plays a role in the cell's response to stress. [2] Nucleoli are made of proteins , DNA and RNA , and form around specific chromosomal regions called nucleolar organizing regions .
A nucleolar detention center (DC) is a region of the cell in which certain proteins are temporarily detained in periods of cellular stress. [1] DCs are absent from cells under normal culture conditions, but form in response to specific environmental triggers.
Lamina-associating domains (LADs) and nucleolar-associating domains (NADs) are regions of the chromosome that interact with the nuclear lamina and nucleolus, respectively. Making up approximately 40% of the genome, LADs consist mostly of gene poor regions and span between 40kb to 30Mb in size. [19]
Nuclear bodies include Cajal bodies, the nucleolus, nuclear speckles (also called splicing speckles), histone locus bodies, and promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) nuclear bodies (also called PML oncogenic dots). [2] Nuclear bodies also include ND10s. ND stands for nuclear domain, and 10 refers to the number of dots seen. [3]
The location of NORs and the nucleolar cycle in human cells. Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) are chromosomal regions crucial for the formation of the nucleolus.In humans, the NORs are located on the short arms of the acrocentric chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22, the genes RNR1, RNR2, RNR3, RNR4, and RNR5 respectively.

The nucleolus is the largest of the discrete densely stained, membraneless structures known as nuclear bodies found in the nucleus. It forms around tandem repeats of rDNA, DNA coding for ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These regions are called nucleolar organizer regions (NOR). The main roles of the nucleolus are to synthesize rRNA and assemble ribosomes ...
In 1995, A. Gregory Matera et al. first gave the structure its name “perinucleolar compartment” after finding several RNA polymerase III transcripts as well as hnRNPI at the nucleolar rim. [3] Sui Huang et al. has extensively researched the perinucleolar compartment and in 1997 were the first to study the PNC in a large number of human ...
Nucleolar protein 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NOL12 gene. [5] [6] Human NOL12 has been shown to localize in the nucleolus and regulate nucleolar structure and homeostasis by maintaining the levels of multi-functional fibrillarin and nucleolin proteins. Its deficiency leads to p53 activation resulting in G2 arrest of cell.
