Abstract

Cajal bodies (CB) in the oocytes of the house cricket Acheta domesticus are large nuclear organelles of regular spherical form and complex inner structure. They are composed of a fibrillar coilin-containing matrix and a central cavity with a prominent fibrogranular body inside. The latter we identified as the “internal” inter-chromatin granule cluster (IGC). Transcription coactivators CBP/p300 and TATA-binding protein (TBP) were localized in the CB matrix. RNA polymerase II was not revealed in CB both under normal conditions and after oocyte treatment with actinomycin D. A small number of free IGCs were detected in the nucleoplasm of Acheta domesticus oocytes. In oocytes treated with actinomycin D the number of free IGCs in the nucleoplasm significantly increased, fibrillar and granular components of IGCs segregated, and the fibrillar zones of IGCs accumulated RNA polymerase II and CBP/p300 proteins.
