This careful interferometry analysis of the ability of dextrans of various sizes to penetrate nuclear bodies in Xenopus oocytes demonstrates their sponge-like structure and suggests that the absolute concentration of resident proteins inside nuclear bodies is only marginally higher than in the nucleoplasm.

Energy depletion leads to trapping of molecules in collapsed chromatin regions.

Using photobleaching experiments, the dramatic accumulation of the MDM2 and VHL ubiquitin ligases in response to physiological cues are shown to be due to the retention of these proteins in the nucleolus.
57. Tsai R.Y., and McKay R.D. A multistep, GTP-driven mechanism controlling the dynamic coupling of nucleostemin. J Cell Biol 168 (2005) 179-184. Evidence is presented that the nuclear distribution of nucleostemin and particularly its retention in the nucleolus is driven by a GTP cycle. This is a novel mechanism for controlling protein localization in the nucleus.
