  1. Bio 525/ Spring, 2010Nuclear Architecture and Genomic Function Session 8: Dynamics of Genomic Organization & Function in Living Cells II; Background and Figures for Kaiser et al., 2008; Tsukamoto et al., 2000

  2. Formation of nuclear structuresT Misteli, Nature 456, 333-334

  3. Functions of Cajal Bodies (Coiled Bodies) • Assembly of several snRNP • Modification of U snRNA • 3′-end processing of histone mRNA • Cell cycle regulation • Assembly of the transcription factors • Apoptotic signaling DL Spector, Cajal Bodies, Cell 2006 127:1071

  4. Lac-Operator-Repressor interactions

  6. Major Conclusions of Kaiser et al 2008 • Immobilization of a single structural component is often sufficient for a • nuclear body formation (Fig 1 & 3 & 4) • 2) Cajal bodies formed de novo via tethering coilin are functional (Fig 2) • 3) Association of proteins with tethered components of Cajal Bodies is suggestive • of self-organization model (Fig 4)

  7. Conclusion 1: Immobilization of a single structural component is often sufficient for a nuclear body formation (Fig 1 & 3 & 4)

  14. Conclusion 3: Association of proteins with tethered components of Cajal Bodies is suggestive of self-organization model (Suppl Fig 3, Fig 4)

  20. Tsukamoto et al., Nat Cell Biol. 2000 2:871-8. Visualization of gene activity in living cells

  21. Visualization of extranucleolar transcription sites in HeLa cell

  22. Major Conclusions of Tsukamoto et al 2000 1) Based on lac operator/repressor system and two kinds of fluorescent proteins it was developed an experimental tool which allows for direct visualization of gene and its protein product in living cells. 2) Activation of gene cluster coincides with “opening” of its structure. Open chromatin structure persists while gene cluster is expressed. 3) Accumulation of exogenous proteins including tetracycline transactivator complex and EYFP-lac-repressor at a gene cluster induces co-localization with promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies

  23. Conclusion 1 Figures 1-2 Based on lac operator/repressor system and two kinds of fluorescent proteins it was developed an experimental tool which allows for direct visualization of gene and its protein product in living cells.

  33. PML bodies are shown in red and lac repressor is shown in green. The p3216PCb integration site was visualized in clone-22 cells by in vivo expressed EYFP/ lac repressor (a–c), by EGFP/ lac repressor overlay staining (d, e) or by RNA FISH (f) after the addition of doxycycline. CFP–SKL expression was shown as a cyan signal. Tsukamoto et al Nat Cell Biol 2000, Figure 7 Relationship between the integrated locus and PML bodies.
