Structural organizations of replicon domains during DNA synthetic phase in the mammalian nucleus

H Nakamura et al. Exp Cell Res. 1986 Aug.

Abstract

In mammalian cells, it has been shown that adjacent multiple DNA replicons, termed a replicon cluster or a replicon domain, are replicated coordinately in a defined temporal order during the DNA synthetic (S) phase. However, no intranuclear structure of this replicon domain has been revealed in the nucleus labelled with [3H]thymidine at the limited resolution level of autoradiography. By immunofluorescent staining with antibody against 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), we succeeded in detecting novel, intranuclear ring-like structures of replicating replicon domains that were organized temporarily during the S phase of mammalian cells with incorporated BrdU.
