Nuclear envelope-dependent heterochromatin positioning gates the timing of nucleolar assembly in the early embryo
X. X. Ding, Guanzhi Wang, Daniel Elnatan…·G. W. Gant Luxton
The paper shows that the LINC complex and nuclear lamina delay nucleolar assembly in C. elegans embryos by organizing heterochromatin, with CEC-4 playing a key role in suppressing premature nucleoli.
