G. Turian et F. Barja, NEW TRENDS IN POLARITY .2. NUCLEOCENTRIC ORIGIN OF INTRINSIC CELL POLARITY, Archives des sciences et compte rendu des seances de la Societe, 47(3), 1994, pp. 243-254
Intracellular polarization is shown to find its starting point in the
nucleolus, the internally polarized nuclear organite, site of DNA tran
scription into the RNAs. These macromolecules are then vectorially exp
orted - as reviewed - through the nuclear matrix to the presumptive si
te(s) of cytoplasmic outgrowth, genetically monopolar in Neurospora co
nidial cells.
