Abstract

HeLa cells were studied with the use of light microscopical immunocytochemistry to obtain more information on the nucleolar localization of nucleophosmin (B23 protein) and RH-II/Gu protein. In control cells these proteins are colocalized. After structural rearrangement of nucleoli induced by actinomycin D, nucleophosmin was present in the nucleolar periphery and nucleolar peripheral caps. In contrast, RH-II/Gu protein was observed mainly in central regions of nucleoli as a compact body. However, in some nucleoli the proteins colocalized in a small portion of the peripheral nucleolar cap. The proteins were also colocalized in micronucleoli but occasionally RH-II/Gu protein was absent or both proteins were not present.
