EOG8909Q7 GO:0015030 1/19 Cajal body cellular_component "A class of nuclear body, first seen after silver staining by Ramon y Cajal in 1903, enriched in small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, and certain general RNA polymerase II transcription factors; ultrastructurally, they appear as a tangle of coiled, electron-dense threads roughly 0.5 micrometers in diameter; involved in aspects of snRNP biogenesis; the protein coilin serves as a marker for Cajal bodies. Some argue that Cajal bodies are the sites for preassembly of transcriptosomes, unitary particles involved in transcription and processing of RNA."

[GOC:ma, ISBN:0124325653] EOG8909Q7 GO:0016604 1/19 nuclear body cellular_component "Extra-nucleolar nuclear domains usually visualized by confocal microscopy and fluorescent antibodies to specific proteins." [GOC:ma, PMID:10330182] EOG8909Q7 GO:0035363 1/19 histone locus body cellular_component "A nuclear body associated with the histone gene locus that is thought to contain all of the factors necessary for histone mRNA transcription and pre-mRNA processing. In Drosophila, U7 snRNP is located in the histone locus body rather than the distinct Cajal body."
