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

Review:

"A valuable addition to any college library as current reference material for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional scientists." -- Choice

"In keeping with the high standards set by the editors...carefully prepared and edited in the customary fine format and well-illustrated style of Academic Press publications...this series is a significant contribution to a science that impinges on many fields." -- The Quarterly Review of Biology

"Maintains the tradition and set-up of the previous volumes and certainly provides up-to-date data on varied aspects of cytology...a valuable acquisition to any library." -- The Nucleus

Praise for the Series "Invaluable reading for all biologists." -- Nature

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.
