Sizing up the nucleus: nuclear shape, size and nuclear-envelope assembly.
The nucleus is one of the most prominent cellular organelles, yet surprisingly little is known about how it is formed, what determines its shape and what defines its size. As the nuclear envelope (NE) disassembles in each and every cell cycle in metazoans, the process of rebuilding the nucleus is crucial for proper development and cell proliferation. In this Commentary, we summarize what is kno...
متن کاملAnalysis of nuclear reconstitution, nuclear envelope assembly, and nuclear pore assembly using Xenopus in vitro assays.
The large and complex eukaryotic nucleus is the arbiter of DNA replication, RNA transcription, splicing, and ribosome assembly. With the advent of in vitro nuclear reconstitution extracts derived from Xenopus eggs in the 1980s, it became possible to assemble multiple nuclei in vitro around added DNA or chromatin substrates. Such reconstituted nuclei contain a nuclear lamina, double nuclear memb...
متن کاملA role for nuclear lamins in nuclear envelope assembly
The molecular interactions responsible for nuclear envelope assembly after mitosis are not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that a peptide consisting of the COOH-terminal domain of Xenopus lamin B3 (LB3T) prevents nuclear envelope assembly in Xenopus interphase extracts. Specifically, LB3T inhibits chromatin decondensation and blocks the formation of both the nuclear lamina-pore c...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Envelope and the Nuclear Matrix
behavioral state resembling fear and anxiety. Logically, clonidine, which decreases LC activity, should decrease fear and anxiety and perhaps have a valuable effect in other affective illnesses. Unfortunately, some of the studies which support clonidine's anxiolytic effects were published after Redmond's chapter was written. Yet, his argument is powerful as stated. Other chapters are devoted to...
متن کاملNuclear envelope-associated endosomes deliver surface proteins to the nucleus
Endocytosis directs molecular cargo along three main routes: recycling to the cell surface, transport to the Golgi apparatus or degradation in endolysosomes. Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) is a bacterial protein that typically traffics to the Golgi and then the endoplasmic reticulum before translocating to the cytosol. Here we show that a substantial fraction of internalized PE is also located in ...
