Amoeba proteus: the nuclear periphery.
This study extends previous work on the nuclear envelope and associated structures. It illustrates that the cylindrical structures of the honeycomb lattice are not attached to the nuclear envelope, although generally perpendicular and closely apposed to it, and that there is a complex arrangement of fibrillar material between the cylinders of the lattice. The relationship of nuclear helices to these structures is described and the possible mode of their transfer from nucleus to cytoplasm is discussed.
