We studied population polymorphism of active nucleolar organizing regions in residents of the Kursk region and the association of activity of chromosomal nucleolar organizing regions with intensity of the synthesis of erythrocyte membrane protein. We revealed a tendency towards increasing of the amount of the major erythrocyte membrane proteins (primarily, spectrins and band 5 protein) with increasing total transcriptional activity of nucleolar organizing regions of chromosomes. The intensity of protein synthesis affects cell proliferation, determines the rate of tissue growth and its function, which determines its participation in the development of various diseases.

The representatives of the archamoebian genus Pelomyxa are amoeboid anaerobic protists that inhabit fresh-water anoxic sediments, and most of them are usually multinucleate. The cytoplasm of these unicellular organisms is highly complicated and contains numerous vacuoles of different types, as well as a wide range of prokaryotic endocytobionts, agglomerations of glycogen, lipids, etc. Among the great variety of cytoplasmic structures in P.

Haematological and Neurological Expressed 1 (HN1) is an oncogene for various cancers and previously has been linked with centrosome clustering and cell cycle pathways. Moreover, HN1 has recently been reported to activate mTOR signalling, which is the regulator of ribosome biogenesis and maintenance. We explored the role of HN1 in mTOR signalling through various gain- and loss-of-function experiments using biochemical approaches in different cell lines.

The nucleolus is a major subnuclear compartment where ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is transcribed and ribosomes are assembled. In addition, recent studies have shown that the nucleolus is a dynamic organizer of chromatin architecture that modulates developmental gene expression. rDNA gene units are assembled into arrays located in the p-arms of five human acrocentric chromosomes.

Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons are abundant transposable elements in mammals and significantly influence chromosome structure, chromatin organization, and 3D genome architecture. In this issue of , Ataei et al. (doi:10.

The sufficiency of RG repeats to facilitate sub-nucleolar compartmentalization is unclear.
