摘要
The positioning of a gene within the nucleus is thought to help regulate its transcriptional state. An example is yeast telomeres, which have a propensity to cluster at the nuclear periphery and suppress subtelomeric genes. With a membrane anchoring technique, new data indicate that there may be a second class of perinuclear silencing sites, which require pore-associated myosin-like proteins to establish repression.
