Popis: Little is known how spatial genome organization is directed in fat; however, key proadipogenic genes reposition from the nuclear envelope (NE) to the interior during adipogenesis. Here the authors show that deletion of NE protein Tmem120a in adipocytes disrupts fat genome organization, which results in suppression of lipid metabolism pathways and induces myogenic gene expression.
