Chromosome repositioning requires nuclear myosin and actin. The relocation of human chromosomes 10 and 18 after incubation in low serum is myosin and actin dependent. The nuclear locations of chromosomes 10, 18, and X were determined in normal human proliferating cell nuclei treated with latrunculin A and phalloidin oleate (inhibitors of actin polymerisation) (a, b) and BDM and jasplakinolide (inhibitors of myosin polymerization) (c, d) before and during incubation in low serum for 15 minutes. The error bars show the standard error of the mean. The stars indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05) from cells treated only with the inhibitor. Normal control analysis data without any treatment is displayed in (e).
