Abstract
Cellular organelles have unique morphology and the organelle size to cell size ratio is regulated. Nucleus is one of the most prominent, usually round in shape, organelle of a eukaryotic cell that occupies 8-10% of cellular volume. The shape and size of nucleus is known to undergo remodeling during processes such as cell growth, division and certain stresses. Regulation of protein and lipid distribution at the nuclear envelope is crucial for preserving the nuclear morphology and size. As size and morphology are interlinked, altering one influences the other. In this perspective, we discuss the relationship between size and shape regulation of the nucleus.
期刊介绍：
Current Genetics publishes genetic, genomic, molecular and systems-level analysis of eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms and cell organelles. All articles are peer-reviewed. The journal welcomes submissions employing any type of research approach, be it analytical (aiming at a better understanding), applied (aiming at practical applications), synthetic or theoretical.
Current Genetics no longer accepts manuscripts describing the genome sequence of mitochondria/chloroplast of a small number of species. Manuscripts covering sequence comparisons and analyses that include a large number of species will still be considered.
