The nuclear pore as a chromatin boundary
he Cajal body (CB, formerly coiled body) is a prominent nuclear structure, yet its function remains obscure. Now, speculate that the CB is where small nuclear RNAs go for modification. Last year, Kiss's team identified a small guide RNA, U85, that directs both 2'-O-methylation and pseudouridylation of the spliceosomal component U5 snRNA. This year, they've identified six more RNAs, Novel guide ...
متن کاملThe nuclear envelope as a chromatin organizer.
In the past 15 years our perception of nuclear envelope function has evolved perhaps nearly as much as the nuclear envelope itself evolved in the last 3 billion years. Historically viewed as little more than a diffusion barrier between the cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm, the nuclear envelope is now known to have roles in the cell cycle, cytoskeletal stability and cell migration, genome architect...
متن کاملPericentric chromatin loops function as a nonlinear spring in mitotic force balance
The mechanisms by which sister chromatids maintain biorientation on the metaphase spindle are critical to the fidelity of chromosome segregation. Active force interplay exists between predominantly extensional microtubule-based spindle forces and restoring forces from chromatin. These forces regulate tension at the kinetochore that silences the spindle assembly checkpoint to ensure faithful chr...
متن کاملChromatin: a tunable spring at work inside chromosomes.
This paper focuses on mechanical aspects of chromatin biological functioning. Within a basic geometric modeling of the chromatin assembly, we give a complete set of elastic constants (twist and bend persistence lengths, stretch modulus and twist-stretch coupling constant) of the so-called 30-nm chromatin fiber, in terms of DNA elastic properties and geometric properties of the fiber assembly. T...
متن کاملDynamical distance as a semi-metric on nuclear conguration space
In this paper, we introduce the concept of dynamical distance on a nuclear conguration space. We partition the nuclear conguration space into disjoint classes. This classification coincides with the classical partitioning of molecular systems via the concept of conjugacy of dynamical systems. It gives a quantitative criterion to distinguish dierent molecular structures.
