摘要

Gene loci on different chromosomes can preferentially colocalize in the cell nucleus. However, many of the mechanisms mediating this spatial proximity remain to be elucidated. The IgH locus on Chromosome 12 and the Myc locus on Chromosome 15 are a well-studied model for gene colocalization in murine B cells, where the two loci are positioned in close proximity at a higher than expected frequency. These gene loci are also partners in the chromosomal translocation that causes murine plasmacytoma and Burkitt’s lymphoma. Because both Chromosome 12 and Chromosome 15 carry nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) in the most commonly studied mouse strains, we hypothesized that NOR-mediated tethering of the IgH and Myc loci to shared nucleoli could serve as a mechanism to drive IgH:Myc colocalization. Using mouse strains that naturally carry nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) on different sets of chromosomes, we establish that IgH and Myc are positioned proximal to nucleoli in a NOR dependent manner and show that their joint association with nucleoli significantly increases the frequency of IgH and Myc pairing. Thus we demonstrate that simple nucleolar tethering can increase the colocalization frequency of genes on NOR-bearing chromosomes.
