Figure 1 Nucleolar Size Scales Directly with Cell and Nuclear Volume during Development of Early C. elegans Embryos (A) Maximum intensity projections of 3D stacks of a control embryo expressing FIB-1::GFP at various stages. 8-cell, 16-cell, and 32-cell stages were taken from a time-lapse movie of a single embryo; 64-cell stage represents a different embryo. Lower panel shows individual nuclei with assembled nucleoli. The scale bar represents 10 μm for whole embryos and 5 μm for individual nuclei. (B) Integrated intensity in arbitrary units of individual nucleoli as a function of time in a developing control embryo. Colors correspond to cell stage as indicated below. Time was measured relative to nuclear envelope breakdown in cells ABa and ABp. (C) Direct scaling of maximum nucleolar intensity with nuclear volume for embryos at the 8-cell to 64-cell stages. Data from time-lapse movies (n = 10) and snapshot images (n = 10–15 per stage) are plotted together. Raw data (points) and mean ± SD for each cell stage (8, circle; 16, square; 32, triangle; 64, diamond) are shown with a linear fit through the origin. r2 = 0.15; p = 9.1 × 10−23 by two-tailed t test. (D) The nucleoplasmic pool of FIB-1::GFP is depleted as nucleoli assemble. Mean ± SD of the integrated intensity of the nucleoplasm and nucleoli are plotted as a function of time for the 8-cell stage AB-lineage nuclei in the embryo are shown in (A).

Figure 2 Nucleolar Size Scales Inversely with Nuclear Volume Following RNAi (A) RNAi knockdown of select genes produces embryos of different size. n = 25 embryos for control; n = 10 embryos for each RNAi condition. Images depict 4-cell stage embryos following RNAi. The scale bar represents 10 μm. (B) Inverse scaling of maximum nucleolar intensity with nuclear volume across RNAi conditions at the 8-cell stage. Raw data (points) and mean ± SD for each condition (squares) are shown with the model prediction, Io = α[(N/8) − CsatVn] (solid line). n = 25 embryos for control; n = 10 embryos for each RNAi condition. The means are all statistically different; p = 1.3 × 10−34 by ANOVA. Representative images of ABal nuclei are shown for each condition. The scale bar represents 5 μm.

Figure 3 Maternal Loading of an Intact Nucleolus Results in Concentration Differences that Explain Direct and Inverse Scaling Regimes (A) Direct scaling of maximum nucleolar intensity with nuclear volume during development in each RNAi condition; inverse scaling across RNAi conditions. Raw data (points) and mean ± SD across 50-μm bins (squares) are shown for embryos at the 8-cell to 64-cell stages. Raw data for each RNAi condition were fit to a line through the origin to determine the slope, Io/Vn. n = 20–25 embryos per stage for control; n = 8–15 embryos per stage for each RNAi condition. (B) Fitted slopes from (A) are plotted as a function of mean embryo volume for each RNAi condition. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. The master scaling equation, Io/Vn = α[N/(Vξ) − Csat], is plotted with zero-free parameters (solid line). Dashed lines represent the range of uncertainty in model parameters. (C) Nucleoli are loaded into oocytes intact. Integrated intensity (mean ± SD) of nucleoli in the first cellularized oocyte in the hermaphrodite gonad for each RNAi condition (n = 10 oocytes per condition) is shown. Wild-type (WT) RNAi conditions are not statistically different; p = 0.73 by ANOVA. ncl-1 is statistically different from all WT RNAi conditions; p = 0.0038 by ANOVA. Image shows WT control gonad expressing fluorescent markers for cell membranes (red) and nucleoli (green). White arrow indicates the intact nucleolus loaded into an oocyte. (D) Nuclear concentration decreases with increasing embryo volume. Raw data (points) and mean ± SD for each condition (squares) are shown with a fit to the equation Cn = N/(ξV) for WT embryos (filled markers; solid line) and ncl-1 mutant embryos (open markers; dashed line). n = 15 embryos for WT control; n = 10 embryos for WT, ima-3(RNAi); n = 14 embryos for WT, ani-2(RNAi); n = 11 embryos for WT, C27D9.1(RNAi); n = 10 embryos for ncl-1 control; n = 12 embryos for ncl-1, ima-3(RNAi); n = 16 embryos for ncl-1, ani-2(RNAi); n = 18 embryos for ncl-1, C27D9.1(RNAi). Inset: schematic diagram of nucleoli loaded into oocytes of different size that subsequently disassemble to yield different concentrations in the embryos. (E) Schematic diagram illustrating the direct and inverse scaling regimes. See also Figure S2.

Figure 4 A Concentration-Dependent Phase Transition Controls Nucleolar Size and Assembly (A) Maximum nucleolar intensity increases with nuclear concentration above Csat for a given nuclear volume, Vn = 200 μm3. Circles correspond to nucleoli at the 8-cell stage; squares correspond to nucleoli at the 4-cell stage. Solid line is the model’s prediction, Io = α[Cn − Csat]Vn, for the 8-cell stage. Dashed line is the model’s prediction, Io = α[Cn − Csat4-cell]Vn, for the 4-cell stage. (B) Phase diagram for nucleolar assembly. Asterisks mark the measured saturation concentration at the 4-cell and 8-cell stages. Circles correspond to embryos at the 8-cell stage; squares correspond to embryos at the 4-cell stage. Open symbols indicate no nucleolar assembly. Lines from (A) correspond to horizontal lines on the phase diagram. Representative images of ABal nuclei are shown for 8-cell stage embryos; ABa nuclei are shown for 4-cell stage embryos. See also Figure S3 and Table S1.
