Altered protein dynamics of disease-associated lamin A mutants

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2004
Background Recent interest in the function of the nuclear lamina has been provoked by the discovery of lamin A/C mutations in the laminopathy diseases. However, it is not understood why mutations in lamin A give such a range of tissue-specific phenotypes.

Cytoplasmic chromatin triggers inflammation in senescence and cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chromatin is traditionally viewed as a nuclear entity that regulates gene expression and silencing. However, we recently discovered the presence of cytoplasmic chromatin fragments that pinch off from intact nuclei of primary cells during senescence, a ...

Dysfunctional polycomb transcriptional repression contributes to Lamin A/C dependent muscular dystrophy.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2020
Lamin A is a component of the inner nuclear membrane that, together with epigenetic factors, organizes the genome in higher order structures required for transcriptional control.

Macrophage‐derived MLKL in alcohol‐associated liver disease: Regulation of phagocytosis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
EtOH causes leaky gut allowing bacteria and PAMPs into the liver, resulting in hepatic inflammation and injury. We demonstrate that LPS induces STAT1‐mediated expression and phosphorylation of MLKL in macrophages and identify a novel function that myeloid MLKL translocates to phagosomes and lysosomes and regulates phagocytosis, which contributes to the

Overexpression and cytoplasmic localization of caspase-6 is associated with lamin A degradation in set of ovarian cancers

open access: yesBiomarker Research, 2018
Background In most women with ovarian cancer, the diagnosis occurs after dissemination of tumor cells beyond ovaries. Several molecular perturbations occur ahead of tumor initiation including loss of lamin A/C. Our hypothesis was that the loss of nuclear

Sorting nexin 6 enhances lamin a synthesis and incorporation into the nuclear envelope. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Nuclear lamins are important structural and functional proteins in mammalian cells, but little is known about the mechanisms and cofactors that regulate their traffic into the nucleus.

RNA Interference by Single- and Double-stranded siRNA With a DNA Extension Containing a 3′ Nuclease-resistant Mini-hairpin Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Selective gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) involves double-stranded small interfering RNA (ds siRNA) composed of single-stranded (ss) guide and passenger RNAs.

The K219T-Lamin mutation induces conduction defects through epigenetic inhibition of SCN5A in human cardiac laminopathy

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Mutations in LMNA, which encodes the nuclear proteins Lamin A/C, can cause cardiomyopathy and conduction disorders. Here, we employ induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from human cells carrying heterozygous K219T mutation on LMNA to develop ...

Lamin A safeguards the m6A methylase METTL14 nuclear speckle reservoir to prevent cellular senescence

open access: yesAging Cell, 2020
Mutations in LMNA gene are frequently identified in patients suffering from a genetic disorder known as Hutchison–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), providing an ideal model for the understanding of the mechanisms of aging. Lamin A, encoded by LMNA, is an

Baculovirus infection induces disruption of the nuclear lamina

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Baculovirus nucleocapsids egress from the nucleus primarily via budding at the nuclear membrane. The nuclear lamina underlying the nuclear membrane represents a substantial barrier to nuclear egress. Whether the nuclear lamina undergoes disruption during
