The telomeric protein AKTIP interacts with A- and B-type lamins and is involved in regulation of cellular senescence [PDF]
AKTIP is a shelterin-interacting protein required for replication of telomeric DNA. Here, we show that AKTIP biochemically interacts with A- and B-type lamins and affects lamin A, but not lamin C or B, expression.

Regulation of Lipid Metabolism by Lamin in Mutation-Related Diseases
Nuclear lamins, known as type 5 intermediate fibers, are composed of lamin A, lamin C, lamin B1, and lamin B2, which are encoded by LMNA and LMNB genes, respectively.

Variable A-type lamin expression in Merkel cell carcinoma cell lines and its association with nuclear integrity [PDF]
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive type of neuro-endocrine skin cancer and can be subdivided into Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV)-positive and MCPyV-negative cases.

ABHD7-mediated depalmitoylation of lamin A promotes myoblast differentiation
Summary: LMNA gene mutation can cause muscular dystrophy, and post-translational modification plays a critical role in regulating its function. Here, we identify that lamin A is palmitoylated at cysteine 522, 588, and 591 residues, which are reversely ...

Drosophila as a Model for Studying the Roles of Lamins in Normal Tissues and Laminopathies [PDF]
Nuclear processes are fundamental to the regulation of cellular, tissue, and organismal function, especially in complex multicellular systems. Central to these processes are lamins and lamin-associated proteins, which contribute to nuclear structure ...

LMNA encodes for Lamin A/C, type V intermediate filaments that polymerize under the inner nuclear membrane to form the nuclear lamina. A small fraction of Lamin A/C, less polymerized, is also found in the nucleoplasm. Lamin A/C functions include roles in

An evolutionarily conserved role for separase in the regulation of nuclear lamins [PDF]
Separase is a well-conserved endopeptidase that facilitates sister chromatid separation at the metaphase-anaphase transition by cleaving cohesins. Beyond its role in chromosome segregation, Separase also participates in various biological processes ...

Lamin A/C and Emerin depletion impacts chromatin organization and dynamics in the interphase nucleus
Background Nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filament proteins that maintain nuclear structure and function. Furthermore, Emerin - an interactor of Lamin A/C, facilitates crosstalk between the cytoskeleton and the nucleus as it also interacts with ...

Adipocyte-Specific Deletion of Lamin A/C Largely Models Human Familial Partial Lipodystrophy Type 2
Mechanisms by which autosomal recessive mutations in Lmna cause familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) are poorly understood. To investigate the function of lamin A/C in adipose tissue, we created mice with an adipocyte-specific loss of Lmna ...
