Whenever they encounter signs of disease, caused for example by the presence of viruses or intracellular bacteria or a transformed tumor cell, they initiate processes to destroy the potentially harmful cell. [1] All nucleated cells in the body (along with platelets) display class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I molecules). Antigens ...
One hypothesized function of the dots is as a 'nuclear dump' or 'storage depot'. [21] The nuclear bodies may not all perform the same function. Sp140 associates with certain bodies and appears to be involved in transcriptional activation. [22] ND10 nuclear bodies have been shown to play a major role in chromatin regulation. [23]
These are transcribed in the nucleolus by RNA polymerase I. 45S is processed in the nucleus via 32S rRNA to 28S [6] and 5.8S, [7] and via 30S to 18S, [8] as shown in the diagram. 18S is a component of the ribosomal 40S subunit. 28S, 5.8S and 5S, [9] which is transcribed independently, are components
The perinucleolar compartment was first discovered on the periphery of the nucleus in 1992 by Andrea Getti et al. while studying the hnRNPI/PTB (polypyrimidine tract binding) protein. [2] Getti found that in addition to the nucleoplasm, the hnRNPI was staining a “discrete unidentified structure” always opposite of the nucleoli.
The nucleolus (/ nj uː ˈ k l iː ə l ə s, ˌ nj uː k l i ˈ oʊ l ə s /; pl.: nucleoli /-l aɪ /) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. [1] It is best known as the site of ribosome biogenesis. The nucleolus also participates in the formation of signal recognition particles and plays a role in the cell's response to ...
Cytopathic effect (abbreviated CPE) refers to structural changes in host cells that are caused by viral invasion. The infecting virus causes lysis of the host cell or when the cell dies without lysis due to an inability to replicate. [1] If a virus causes these morphological changes in the host cell, it is said to be cytopathogenic. [2]
Channelopathies are a group of diseases caused by the dysfunction of ion channel subunits or their interacting proteins. These diseases can be inherited or acquired by other disorders, drugs, or toxins. Mutations in genes encoding ion channels, which impair channel function, are the most common cause of channelopathies. [1]
