title: [Karyosphere and nuclear envelope ultrastructure of oocytes of the common frog Rana temporaria after nuclease treatment and extraction of chromatin and alkali-soluble proteins].
abstract: The late oocyte karyosphere of Rana temporaria consists mainly of fibrillar nucleoli and micronucleoli, Fibrillar material containing the pore complexes (pseudomembranes) and modified synaptonemal complexes. Nuclease treatment of the karyosphere reveals regularly repeating bands in the nuclei and micronuclei, the fibrillar material associated with the nuclei being attenuated. After a subsequent treatment with DNase-1, RNase A and 1.5 M Nacl and karyosphere is disintegrated to involve remains of extracted nucleoli and fibrillar material containing pore complexes. 0.025 N NaOH extracted the  bulk of the karyosphere and left only the islets if fibrillar material. The nuclear envelope proved to be far more stable to the above treatments. It retained its structure and was loosened partly only after 1.5 M NaCl or 0.025 N NaOH extraction, the pore complexes disappearing only after alkaline extraction. It is assumed that the karyosphere represents a skeletal structure (matrix) of the oocyte nucleus.
