“…These roundish RNP structures, preferentially occurring in the perichromatin region (Monneron and Bernhard, 1969), would act as both vectors and storage site of already-spliced pre-mRNA (Fakan, 1994(Fakan, , 2004, and modifications in their number and=or molecular composition can reveal intranuclear pathway alterations (e.g., Puvion et al, 1977;Puvion-Dutilleul and Puvion, 1981;Lafarga et al, 1993;Zancanaro et al, 1993). On the other hand, interchromatin granules (IG), occurring as clusters in the interchromatin space, represent storage, assembly, and phosphorylation sites for transcription, and splicing factors (Puvion and Puvion-Dutilleul, 1996;Bogolyubov et al, 2009).…”
