Nucleus is present in
All eukaryotic cells except:
1- mammalian erythrocytes
2- blood platelets
3- core fibers of the lens
Cells without nucleus ( anucleate cells )
Can not undergo cell division
Nucleus staining
Hematoxylin - purple
Kernechtrot-red
Functions of nucleus
DNA replication
Transcription
RNA processing
Translation occurs in
Cytoplasm
Gene expression steps
1- transcription: nucleus’s gene sequence copied into mRNA molecular
2- translation: mRNA to sequence of amino acids
Presence of nucleus:
1 gene expression is regulated:
I during transcription - by controlled transport ofproteins
Il post transcription - mechanisms
2 DNA surrounded by envelope - protected from mechanisms force
Nucleus:
Nuclear envelope
Chromatin
Nucleolus
Nucleoplasm
Nuclear envelope
Two parallel membranes:
Inner and outer separated by peri nuclear space
Nuclear pores provide
Communication between nucleus and cytoplasm
Lining the inner membrane is protein meshwork called
Nuclear Latina
Nuclear envelope acts as
Selective permeability barrier and prevents free passage
Nuclear Latina is associated with the
inner membrane
Nuclear Latina is composed of 3 polypeptides
Lamin A
Lamin B
Lamin C
Nuclear Latina function
1- structural support
2- linkers : between nuclear envelope and chromatin fibers
