This review deals with the authors' own and literary data on the ultrastructural and cytochemical organization of insect and amphibian oocyte nuclei, with special attention being paid to the karyosphere and its capsule. The evidence provided is supplemented with data on isolated karyospheres in Rana temporaria oocytes. A conclusion is made that the karyosphere is a complex structure which contains all chromosomes in the limited space of the oocyte nucleus, and that these chromosomes are, as a rule, in the process of inactivation. It is inferred that the karyosphere capsule commonly appears in gigantic oocyte nuclei (more than 100 micron in diameter) containing extrachromosomal DNA. The analogy of capsule organization in different invertebrate and vertebrate species is discussed, in addition to the involvement of presumably homologous nuclear structures (e.g. derivatives of synaptonemal complexes and nuclear envelope) in capsule formation. It is assumed that the karyosphere capsule is a specially organized part of the nuclear matrix. The capsule provides nuclear compartmentalization and chromosome localization in the germinal vesicle. Studies of this sort open up new possibilities to further investigation of intranuclear morphogenesis. |
