Phytochrome is known to regulate the expression of several major nuclearencoded polypeptides at the level of transcription. Both in vivo and in vitro methods are currently being used to determine the step(s) between the light activation of phytochrome and changes in gene expression.

β¦ Synopsis
A review is presented on 1) the autonomous nature of mammalian cell cytoplasm and 2) the cytoplasmic modification of nuclear gene expression. Topics include a discussion of cytoplasmic suppression of tumorigenicity. It is proposed that alterations in DNA methylation patterns may be a possible mechanism to explain cytoplasmic modification of nuclear gene expression.
