    Abstract How a cell distinguishes a double-strand break from the end of a chromosome has long fascinated cell biologists. It was thought that the protection of chromosomal ends required either a telomere-specific complex or the looping back of the 3' TG-rich overhang to anneal with a homologous double-stranded repeat. These models must now accommodate the findings that complexes involved in nonhomologous end joining play important roles in normal telomere length maintenance, and that subtelomeric chromatin changes in response to the DNA damage checkpoint. A hypothetical chromatin assembly checkpoint may help to explain why telomeres and the double-strand break repair machinery share essential components.

    Abstract The yeast nuclear scaffold has been shown to bind with high affinity to genomic sequences that permit autonomous DNA replication of plasmids (ARS elements). We describe here conditions for the isolation of a histone-free nuclear substructure, the nuclear scaffold, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We examine the protein composition of this structure,and the conditions under which topoisomerase II, the nuclear factor RAP-1 and RNA polymerase II co-fractionate with the scaffold. We find that exposure of nuclei to a combined metal and heat treatment (0.5mM Cu(2) +, 37 degree centigrade prior to detergent extraction is required for effective stabilization of these proteins with the scaffold. Electron microscopy of the residual nuclei extracted with non-ionic detergents shows the absence of a typical peripheral lamina structure.

    Abstract Most of the human genome is compacted into heterochromatin, a form that encompasses multiple forms of inactive chromatin structure. Transcriptional silencing mechanisms in budding and fission yeasts have provided genetically tractable models for understanding heritably repressed chromatin. These silent domains are typically found in regions of repetitive DNA, that is, either adjacent to centromeres or telomeres or within the tandemly repeated ribosomal DNA array. Here we address the mechanisms of centromeric, telomeric and locus-specific gene silencing, comparing simple and complex animals with yeast. Some aspects are universally shared, such as histone-tail modifications, while others are unique to either centromeres or telomeres. These may reflect roles for heterochromatin in other chromosomal functions, like kinetochore attachment and DNA ends protection.

    Abstract Chromatin is nonrandomly distributed in nuclear space, yet the functional significance of this remains unclear. Here, we make use of transgenes carrying developmentally regulated promoters to study subnuclear gene positioning during the development of Caenorhabditis elegans. We found that small transgenes (copy number ≤50) are randomly distributed in early embryonic nuclei, independent of promoter activity. However, in differentiated tissues, these same transgenes occupied specific subnuclear positions: When promoters are repressed, transgenes are found at the nuclear periphery, whereas active, developmentally regulated promoters are enriched in the nuclear core. The absence of specific transgene positioning in embryonic nuclei does not reflect an absence of proteins that mediate perinuclear sequestration: Embryonic nuclei are able to sequester much larger transgene arrays (copy number 300-500) at the periphery. This size-dependent peripheral positioning of gene arrays in early embryos correlates with the accumulation of heterochromatic marks (H3K9me3 and H3K27me3) on large arrays. Interestingly, depletion of nuclear lamina components caused release of arrays from the nuclear envelope and interfered with their efficient silencing. Our results suggest that developmentally silenced chromatin binds the nuclear lamina in a manner correlated with the deposition of heterochromatic marks. Peripheral sequestration of chromatin may, in turn, support the maintenance of silencing.
