Abstract
Experimental evidence suggests that centromere arrangement is relevant to the expression of ribosomal genes in murine Sertoli cells. Nuclei endowed with a nucleolus inactive in rRNA synthesis presented several clusters, each containing a bunch of individual centromeres. RNA polymerase I was not cytochemically detected in the nucleolar structure, which contained only small amounts of fibrillarin. In the course of nucleolar activation, the centromeres within the separate clusters became fused into larger centromeric bodies. Synthesis of precursor rRNAs and their processing were visualized by strong nucleolar fluorescence signals using antibodies to RNA polymerase I and fibrillarin.
