Reconstitution of nuclear envelope subdomain formation on mitotic chromosomes in semi-intact cells.

ABSTRACT: In metazoans, the nuclear envelope (NE) disassembles during the prophase and reassembles around segregated chromatids during the telophase. The process of NE formation has been extensively studied using live-cell imaging. At the early step of NE reassembly in human cells, specific pattern-like localization of inner nuclear membrane (INM) proteins, connected to the nuclear pore complex (NPC), was observed in the so-called "core" region and "noncore" region on telophase chromosomes, which corresponded to the "pore-free" region and the "pore-rich" region, respectively, in the early G1 interphase nucleus. We refer to these phenomena as NE subdomain formation. To biochemically investigate this process, we aimed to develop an in vitro NE reconstitution system using digitonin-permeabilized semi-i
