Cell cycle dependent chromosomal movement in pre-mitotic human T-lymphocyte nuclei.

Abstract:

:Fluorescent in situ hybridization with chromosome specific probes was used in conjunction with laser scanning confocal microscopy to assess the three-dimensional distribution of chromosomes in human T-lymphocyte nuclei. Cells in the G1-phase of the cell cycle exhibit a distinctly non-random chromosome organization:centromeric regions of the ten chromosomes examined are localized on the nuclear periphery, often making contact with the nuclear membrane, while telomeric domains are consistently localized within the interior 50% of the nuclear volume. Chromosome homolog pairing is not observed. Transition from the G1 to G2 cell cycle phase is accompanied by extensive chromosome movement, with centromeres assuming a more interior location. Chromosome condensation and chromatin depleted areas are observed in a small subset of G2 nuclei approaching mitosis. These results demonstrate that dynamic chromosome rearrangements occur in non-mitotic nuclei during the cell cycle.
