Descriptor nucléolo celular
Entry term(s) nucléolo
plasmosoma
Scope note: Región no delimitada por membrana, que se encuentra dentro del NÚCLEO CELULAR de la mayoría de las células eucariotas. En el mismo se sintetizan algunos tipos de ARNr (ARN RIBOSÓMICO) y se ensamblan en las subunidades de ribonucleoproteínas de los ribosomas. En el nucleolo el ARNr se transcribe a partir de un organizador nucleolar, es decir, un grupo de genes cromosómicos repetidos en tándem que codifica al ARNr y que se transcriben por la ARN polimerasa I. (Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology & Molecular Biology, 2d ed).

Scope note: Within most types of eukaryotic CELL NUCLEUS, a distinct region, not delimited by a membrane, in which some species of rRNA (RNA, RIBOSOMAL) are synthesized and assembled into ribonucleoprotein subunits of ribosomes. In the nucleolus rRNA is transcribed from a nucleolar organizer, i.e., a group of tandemly repeated chromosomal genes which encode rRNA and which are transcribed by RNA polymerase I.
