Nuclear lamin phosphorylation: an emerging role in gene regulation and pathogenesis of laminopathies
Decades of studies have established that nuclear lamin polymers form the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork that supports the nuclear envelope structure and tethers heterochromatin to the nuclear periphery.

Filament assembly of the C. elegans lamin in the absence of helix 1A
Lamins are the major constituent of the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork underlying the inner nuclear membrane. Nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filaments that assemble into ~3.5 nm thick filaments.

Background Lamin A/C is very important in DNA replication, RNA dependent transcription and nuclear stabilization. Reduced or absent lamin A/C expression has been found to be a common feature of a variety of different cancers.

Lamin A, lamin B, and lamin B receptor analogues in yeast. [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that turkey erythrocyte lamin B is anchored to the nuclear envelope via a 58-kD integral membrane protein termed p58 or lamin B receptor (Worman H. J., J. Yuan, G. Blobel, and S. D. Georgatos. 1988. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 85:8531-8534). We now identify a p58 analogue in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Chromatin and lamin A determine two different mechanical response regimes of the cell nucleus
Micromanipulation force measurements of single isolated nuclei at physiological strains and strain rates reveal two distinct cell nuclear mechanical regimes differentially governed by chromatin and lamin A.

Theoretical Investigation of Structural, Electronic, and Optical Properties of ZnSnP2 Semiconductor
The structural, electronic, and optical properties of ZnSnP2 compound were determined using the first principles calculations. We applied the full-potential enhanced plane wave method (FP-LAPW) within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) as ...

Lamin A/C sustains PcG protein architecture, maintaining transcriptional repression at target genes [PDF]
Beyond its role in providing structure to the nuclear envelope, lamin A/C is involved in transcriptional regulation. However, its cross talk with epigenetic factors--and how this cross talk influences physiological processes--is still unexplored.
