Order and Disorder in the Nucleus Wallace F Marshall  Current Biology  Volume 12, Issue 5, Pages R185-R192 (March 2002) DOI: 10.1016/S0960-9822(02)00724-8

Fig. 1 The two basic principles of nuclear order. (A) Persistence of mitotic organization. In mitosis chromosomes are compacted into separate entities, and during anaphase they are aligned with all centromeres drawn together near the spindle pole. When chromatin decondenses in telophase, this arrangement is retained, and persists into interphase. Thus chromosomes are polarized with centromeres near one end of the nucleus and telomeres near the other, and are not intertwined with each other, instead occupying distinct regions of the nucleus. (B) Nuclear envelope contacts. A series of discrete chromosomal loci interact with the nuclear envelope (red circles), either through nuclear pores or components of the nuclear lamina. These interactions constrain chromatin motion [29,30]. Current Biology 2002 12, R185-R192DOI: (10.1016/S0960-9822(02)00724-8)

Fig. 2 Constrained diffusion of chromatin. (A) Diagram of chromosomes seen during the first two embryonic divisions of Ascaris megalocephala[18]. The entire genome of this nematode is on a single chromosome, present in two homologous copies in the diploid state. Three different embryos are depicted. In telophase of the first mitosis, shown on the left in each case, the spatial arrangement of the chromosomes differs from embryo to embryo, but the arrangement in sister nuclei is roughly mirror symmetrical. During interphase the chromosomes decondense and become indistinct, but when they recondense in prophase in preparation for the second embryonic division, the chromosomes reappear in roughly the same arrangement, indicating a lack of long-range movement during interphase. The small circles drawn within the nuclei denote evaginations of the nuclear envelope, in which the telomeres are located. (B) Constrained diffusion in Drosophila spermatocytes. Images show nuclei in living Drosophila embryos, in which the two homologous copies of one locus are tagged with a GFP labeled DNA binding protein such that each locus looks like a diffraction-limited spot [27]. The three images are from a time-lapse series, each taken 7 minutes apart. For each image, a series of shorter exposures were taken and then overlaid. The resulting irregular blob of fluorescence represents the sum of the positions of a single diffraction limited spot as it diffuses around in the nucleus. The radius of the cloud reflects the extent of diffusional motion that occurred during each 7 minute period. Note that when the three separate frames are compared, little long-range motion is seen even over 14 minutes, while significant short-range motion is seen within each frame. This is the hallmark of constrained diffusion. Current Biology 2002 12, R185-R192DOI: (10.1016/S0960-9822(02)00724-8)

Fig. 3 Function of nuclear organization in interphase chromosome interactions. (A) Non-random nuclear architecture partitions nucleus into neighborhoods that are either repressive or permissive for transcription. Repressive neighborhoods form on the inner surface of the nuclear envelope and in regions containing large quantities of heterochromatin (gray blob). Gene silencing correlates with, and is likely to depend on, localization to one of these repressive nuclear environments. (B) Non-random nuclear architecture combined with constrained diffusion regulates interactions between loci. Due to constrained diffusion, only loci whose regions of confinement (dashed circles) overlap are capable of interacting. Pairs of loci whose confinement regions do not overlap are unable to interact because they cannot diffuse into contact. Current Biology 2002 12, R185-R192DOI: (10.1016/S0960-9822(02)00724-8)
