cPKC regulates interphase nuclear size during Xenopus development
Dramatic changes in cell and nuclear size occur during development and differentiation, and aberrant nuclear size is associated with many disease states. However, the mechanisms that regulate nuclear size are largely unknown. A robust system for investigating nuclear size is early Xenopus laevis development, during which reductions in nuclear size occur without changes in DNA content. To identi...
متن کاملNuclear size control in fission yeast
A long-standing biological question is how a eukaryotic cell controls the size of its nucleus. We report here that in fission yeast, nuclear size is proportional to cell size over a 35-fold range, and use mutants to show that a 16-fold change in nuclear DNA content does not influence the relative size of the nucleus. Multi-nucleated cells with unevenly distributed nuclei reveal that nuclei surr...
متن کاملThe size-wise nucleus: nuclear volume control in eukaryotes
Eukaryotic cells have an "awareness" of their volume and organellar volumes, and maintain a nuclear size that is proportional to the total cell size. New studies in budding and fission yeast have examined the relationship between cell and nuclear volumes. It was found that the size of the nucleus remains proportional to cell size in a wide range of genetic backgrounds and growth conditions that...
متن کاملNuclear structure and the control of DNA replication in the Xenopus embryo.
We have developed a cell-free system from frog eggs that efficiently initiates and completes a single round of semi-conservative replication. 70-100% of sperm chromatin and up to 40% of plasmid DNA molecules are completely replicated in vitro. Before DNA is replicated it is assembled into nuclei surrounded by a double unit membrane studded with nuclear pores. Flow cytometry shows that initiatio...
متن کاملNuclear Size Is Regulated by Importin α and Ntf2 in Xenopus
The size of the nucleus varies among different cell types, species, and disease states, but mechanisms of nuclear size regulation are poorly understood. We investigated nuclear scaling in the pseudotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis and its smaller diploid relative Xenopus tropicalis, which contains smaller cells and nuclei. Nuclear scaling was recapitulated in vitro using egg extracts, demonstrati...
