In mammalian cells, besides nuclei, mitochondria are the only semi-autonomous organelles possessing own DNA organized in the form of nucleoids. While eukaryotic nuclear DNA compaction, chromatin compartmentalization and transcription are regulated by phase separation, our recent work proposed a model of mitochondrial nucleoid self-assembly and transcriptional regulation by multi-phase separation. Herein, we summarized the phase separation both in the nucleus and mitochondrial nucleoids, and did a comparison of the organization and activity regulating, which would provide new insight into the understanding of both architecture and genetics of nucleus and mitochondrial nucleoids.
在哺乳动物细胞中,除细胞核外,线粒体是唯一具有以类核形式组织的自身DNA的半自主细胞器。虽然真核细胞核DNA的压缩、染色质区室化和转录受相分离调控,但我们最近的工作提出了一种通过多相分离进行线粒体类核自组装和转录调控的模型。在此,我们总结了细胞核和线粒体类核中的相分离,并对其组织和活性调控进行了比较,这将为理解细胞核和线粒体类核的结构和遗传学提供新的见解。
