Abstract

Cytochemical tests for nucleosidetriphosphatase (NTPase) and Bernhard's preferential staining for ribonucleoproteins (RNP) were applied to isolated rat liver nuclei. The strongest and most easily reproducible positive reaction for NTPase was detected at pH 7.7 with ATP and GTP. This reaction was activated by Mg2+ and Ca2+ and inhibited by Be2+, Zn2+, quercetin, and ribonuclease. The major sites of enzyme reaction were intranuclear RNA-containing structures. Incubation of nuclei in ATP-stimulated RNA-release medium eliminated a considerable part of the material showing both NTPase reaction and staining for RNP; the perichromatin granules disappeared, while interchromatin granules remained. NTPase activity in the nuclear envelope seems to be associated with the annular part of nuclear pore complexes (permanent component) and with RNP particles translocated through nuclear pores or attached to the surface of nuclei (transitional component). From a morphological point of view, these observations support previous biochemical data suggesting the existence of a connection between NTPase activity and the translocation of RNP particles through the nuclear envelope.
