Emerin Deletions Occurring on Both Xq28 Inversion Backgrounds [PDF]
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD) is an X-linked disorder characterized by contractures, progressive weakness and cardiomyopathy. EMD is caused by mutations in the 2 kb emerin gene that is located within human Xq28. Emerin is immediately distal to the 26 kb filamin gene, and flanking the filamin-emerin region are two large inverted repeats.

Exome sequencing (ES) has revolutionized rare disease management, yet only ~25%–30% of patients receive a molecular diagnosis. A limiting factor is the quality of available phenotypic data.

Sono‐Mechanogenetics: Linking Ultrasound Physics With Cellular Mechanobiology
Sono‐mechanogenetics links ultrasound physics with cellular mechanotransduction to enable noninvasive control of engineered biological systems. Acoustic forces generate distinct deformation modes that activate intracellular signaling pathways, which can be coupled to synthetic gene circuits to regulate diverse cellular functions, including gene ...

Dissociation of Emerin from Barrier-to-autointegration Factor Is Regulated through Mitotic Phosphorylation of Emerin in a Xenopus Egg Cell-free System [PDF]
Emerin is the gene product of STA whose mutations cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. It is an inner nuclear membrane protein and phosphorylated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. However, the means of phosphorylation of emerin are poorly understood.

Barrier-to-autointegration factor proteome reveals chromatin-regulatory partners. [PDF]
Nuclear lamin filaments and associated proteins form a nucleoskeletal ("lamina") network required for transcription, replication, chromatin organization and epigenetic regulation in metazoans.

ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Emerin Deregulation Links Nuclear Shape Instability to Metastatic Potential [PDF]
Abstract Abnormalities in nuclear shape are a well-known feature of cancer, but their contribution to malignant progression remains poorly understood. Here, we show that depletion of the cytoskeletal regulator, Diaphanous-related formin 3 (DIAPH3), or the nuclear membrane–associated proteins, lamin A/C, in prostate and breast cancer ...

Laminopathies are tissue-selective diseases that affect differently in organ systems. Mutations in nuclear envelopes, emerin (Emd) and lamin A/C (Lmna) genes, cause clinically indistinguishable myopathy called Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and

Sequence and structural alignments reveal insights into ANKLE2 evolution and function
Abstract ANKLE2 is an enigmatic protein with emerging roles in cell division, development, and virus replication. While ANKLE2 orthologs are present in all animals, its domain composition has evolved over time. ANKLE2's two namesake domains, the ankyrin repeat and LEM domains (named for LAP2, Emerin, and MAN1), have clear and defined roles; however ...

Neurodegenerative tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease, are neuropathologically defined by pathological tau deposition. While tau drives neurotoxicity by disrupting cytoskeletal, nucleoskeletal, and genomic architecture, cellular mechanisms ...
