Interphase Chromatin LINEd with RNA
نویسندگان
چکیده
RNA has been proposed to be a component of an underlying nuclear matrix. Hall et al. show that noncoding, repetitive RNAs, some derived from LINE1 elements, stably associate with interphase chromosomes and copurify with nuclear scaffold, indicating that RNAs might impact interphase chromosome architecture.

Stable C0T-1 Repeat RNA Is Abundant and Is Associated with Euchromatic Interphase Chromosomes
Recent studies recognize a vast diversity of noncoding RNAs with largely unknown functions, but few have examined interspersed repeat sequences, which constitute almost half our genome. RNA hybridization in situ using C0T-1 (highly repeated) DNA probes detects surprisingly abundant euchromatin-associated RNA comprised predominantly of repeat sequences (C0T-1 RNA), including LINE-1. C0T-1-hybrid...
متن کاملSetting the Boundaries of Chromatin Domains and Nuclear Organization
The nuclear architecture of the interphase nucleus is established by laying down an intricate three-dimensional framework of higher-order chromatin structure. This arrangement is essential for the integration of complex biological processes such as DNA replication, RNA processing, and transcription. Boundary or insulator elements are emerging as key players in the establishment and maintenance ...
متن کاملMolecular hybridization of mouse satellite DNA-complementary RNA in ultrathin sections prepared for electron microscopy.
The feasibility of in situ hybridization in tissue sections prepared for electron microscopy has been examined using mouse satellite DNA-complementary RNA and mouse L cells. The results obtained are encouraging, although certain technical aspects require further clarification. In interphase cells, hybrid-forming sites occur in chromatin patches positioned along the nuclear envelope. It is also ...
متن کاملRNA-dependent stabilization of SUV39H1 at constitutive heterochromatin
Heterochromatin formed by the SUV39 histone methyltransferases represses transcription from repetitive DNA sequences and ensures genomic stability. How SUV39 enzymes localize to their target genomic loci remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that chromatin-associated RNA contributes to the stable association of SUV39H1 with constitutive heterochromatin in human cells. We find that RNA associate...
متن کاملFine Structural Alterations of Interphase Nuclei of Lymphocytes Stimulated to Growth Activity in Vitro
This report describes fine structural changes of interphase nuclei of human peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated to growth by short-term culture with phytohemagglutinin. Chromatin is found highly labile, its changes accompanying the sequential increases of RNA and DNA synthesis which are known to occur in lymphocyte cultures. In "resting" lymphocytes, abundant condensed chromatin appears as ...
