The edge of the nucleus: Variations on a theme

Dev Cell. 2022 Jan 10;57(1):3-4. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2021.12.013.

Abstract

The plant nuclear lamina utilizes distinct and highly divergent proteins to mediate chromatin interactions at the nuclear edge. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Tang et al. show that members of PNET2, a family of inner nuclear membrane proteins in Arabidopsis, are capable of binding histones and are involved in large-scale genome organization.
