title: [Intracellular transport of nuclear ribosomal RNA in Acetabularia mediterranea].
abstract: The ribosomal RNA transport from a nucleus to a perinuclear cytoplasm and its following distribution in the cytoplasm of Acetabularia mediterranea cells were studied using transplantation of RNA-labeled rhizoid into unlabeled stalk. In addition rifamycin treatment was used for inhibition of cytoplasmic RNA synthesis. Acetabularia nuclei contain the stable RNA fractions similar to those present in some other eukaryotes. Nuclear 25S and 17S ribosomal RNA rapidly enter the rhizoid cytoplasm whereas the following trasfer of them to other regions of the cell is a very slow process. Within two days only an insignificant part of 25S and 17S ribosomal RNA is transferred from the rhizoid to the stalk and is distributed there over the base-apical gradient. No preferential transfer of the nuclear ribosomal RNA to the apical region was observed.
