Coordinated control of genome-nuclear lamina interactions by topoisomerase 2B and lamin B receptor.

ABSTRACT: Lamina-associated domains (LADs) are megabase-sized genomic regions anchored to the nuclear lamina (NL). Factors controlling the interactions of the genome with the NL have largely remained elusive. Here, we identified DNA topoisomerase 2 beta (TOP2B) as a regulator of these interactions. TOP2B binds predominantly to inter-LAD (iLAD) chromatin and its depletion results in a partial loss of genomic partitioning between LADs and iLADs, suggesting that this enzyme might protect specific iLADs from interacting with the NL. TOP2B depletion affects LAD interactions with lamin B receptor (LBR) more than with lamins. LBR depletion phenocopies the effects of TOP2B depletion, despite the different positioning of the two proteins in the genome. This suggests a complementary mechanism for organizing t
