Localization of nucleoli in Drosophila melanogaster polytene chromosomes

E V Ananiev et al. Chromosoma. 1981.

Abstract

The majority of D. melanogaster salivary gland nuclei contains many nucleoli which vary in size and number. All nucleoli hybridize in situ with a cloned Drosophila DNA fragment containing 26S ribosomal gene. Autoradiographic analysis of preparations after pulse H3-uridine or H3-thymidine labelling of the salivary gland indicates an intensive transcription and replication of DNA within nucleoli. The nucleoli are bound to different sites of polytene chromosomes by chromatin fibers similar to strands of ectopic pairing and they are most often bound to regions which may be defined as intercalary heterochromatin.
