The size-wise nucleus: nuclear volume control in eukaryotes.

The Journal of cell biology - 19 Nov 2007

Huber Michael D, Gerace Larry

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotic cells have an "awareness" of their volume and organellar volumes, and maintain a nuclear size that is proportional to the total cell size. New studies in budding and fission yeast have examined the relationship between cell and nuclear volumes. It was found that the size of the nucleus remains proportional to cell size in a wide range of genetic backgrounds and growth conditions that alter cell volume...
