The perichromosomal layer

Abstract: In addition to genetic information, mitotic chromosomes transmit essential components for nuclear assembly and function in a new cell cycle. A specialized chromosome domain, called the perichromosomal layer, perichromosomal sheath, chromosomal coat, or chromosome surface domain, contains proteins required for a variety of cellular processes, including the synthesis of messenger RNA, assembly of ribosomes, repair of DNA double-strand breaks, telomere maintenance, and apoptosis regulation. The layer also contain… Show more

“…We presume that Ki67 might contribute to the quality of mitosis as a hidden "safeguard" whose significance might be concealed even in Ki67-depleted cells until sensitized by depleting/inactivating the redundant molecules. At the periphery of each mitotic chromosome there is a specialized chromosome domain referred to as the perichromosomal layer (39,40). This layer is visible by electron microscopy (41) and its constituents, including Ki67, can be isolated together with the chromosomes (39).…”

This layer is visible by electron microscopy (41) and its constituents, including Ki67, can be isolated together with the chromosomes (39). The particular function of this layer in the progression of mitosis has been discussed (39, 40) but not identified.…”

“…dRrp6 localizes to a large number of foci that are often arranged along the astral microtubules (MTs) and the cell cortex. At prometaphase, dRrp6 is detected on the condensed chromosomes and infrequently enveloping the chromosomes on the presumptive perichromosomal layer (PCL), a ribonucleoprotein structure that sheaths the chromosomes during mitosis (Van Hooser et al, 2005). In metaphase, dRrp6 localizes to either the spindle and PCL or, in a nonoverlapping manner, to the condensing chromosomes.…”

“…There are numerous RNA substrates during mitosis that could be candidate Rrp6 targets. For example, ribosomal RNAs associate with the PCL (Van Hooser et al, 2005). Many mRNAs and rRNAs reside on asters and spindles, where they are required for assembly of these structures in Xenopus cell-free extracts (Blower et al, 2005).…”

“…The layer, designated the 'chromosome periphery' (HernandezVerdun and Gautier, 1994), appears at prometaphase and disappears at telophase during mitosis. It contains numerous components, including nuclear and nucleolar proteins as well as several RNAs (Van Hooser et al, 2005).…”
