Synopsis

Research on the nuclear matrix has grown enormously since Bereney and Coffey first reported its isolation and initial characterization in 1974. Since then, more than 1000 papers have been published on the subject by numerous workers around the world. This is the first book devoted to reviewing the major developments in this growing field.

Key Features
* The chapters cover a variety of topics, including:
* Isolation of the nuclear matrix
* Nuclear structure morphology in situ
* Structural domains of the nuclear matrix and its components
* Biochemistry and molecular biology of the matrix proteins and associated DNA and RNA
* Functional properties associated with the nuclear matrix

* DNA replication
* Transcription
* RNA splicing
* Transcription regulation
* Intranuclear and nucleocytoplasmic transport and targeting
* Cell cycle regulation

About this title

About the Author

Kwang Jeon received his Ph.D. in cell physiology at King’s College, University of London, UK, in 1964 and taught at SUNY Buffalo and University of Tennessee. His research was concerned with the biogenesis and function of cell components in two major areas: Integration of intracellular symbionts into host cells leading to the acquisition of new cell components and cell variation; Membrane-protein recycling during endo- and exocytosis.
