The nuclear lamina is a major structural component of metazoan nuclei that has long been thought to provide an anchoring site for interphase chromosomes and have a role in gene regulation. Recent genome-wide mapping studies and functional experimental data strongly support these roles of the nuclear lamina. Here, we discuss new insights into various aspects of genome-nuclear lamina interactions, with emphasis on the links with gene regulation and with dynamics during cellular differentiation.
核纤层是后生动物细胞核的主要结构成分,长期以来一直被认为为间期染色体提供锚定位点,并在基因调控中发挥作用。最近的全基因组图谱研究和功能实验数据有力地支持了核纤层的这些作用。在这里,我们讨论了基因组与核纤层相互作用各个方面的新见解,重点是与基因调控以及细胞分化过程中动态变化的联系。
