Electronic opacification by DAB, following ribonuclease digestion, allowed us to observe a network of DNA filaments which appeared in close relation with both intranucleolar clumps of DNA on one hand, and with the nucleolar fibrillar RNA structure on the other hand. It is inferred that the ribosomal genes may be located on these filaments of DNA.

We have shown in our earlier paper (4) that a ribonuclease resistant filamentous network was associated with the fibrillar structures of the nucleolus of L 929 interphase nucleus. After desoxyribonuclease digestion and oxydised DAB opacification, the nucleolar fibrillar areas became heterogenous from an electron microscopical point of view. We have concluded that an important part of these fibrillar areas are composed of DNA and that the high electron dense fibrillar structures seen after desoxyribonuclease digestion, are the primary ribosomal gene product, just transcribed on the DNA matrix.

It was shown that at 37 degrees C nitrosomethylurea causes an 8-fold increase (as compared to the normal) of the activity of alkaline ribonuclease. 1,4-Bis-diazoacetylbutane also activated alkaline ribonuclease at 37 degrees C. A dependence of the effect of chemical mutagens studied on the activity of alkaline ribonuclease on their concentration was observed. The activation of ribonuclease by NMU and DAB affords a possibility to understand the molecular mechanisms of the action of chemical mutagens on the metabolism.
