Abstract

The review summarizes the results from a series of studies focusing on the role that the nucleolus plays in maturation of the IGH locus and the choice of its partner genes in leukemia-associated translocations. The role of nuclear compartmentalization and nuclear localization of translocated oncogenes in ectopic activation of their transcription is discussed.

Keywords

compartmentalization of the nucleus spatial organization of the genome IGH locus leukemiaassociated translocations
