SUMO protease SENP6 protects the nucleus from hyperSUMOylation-induced laminopathy-like alterations
Summary: The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) protease SENP6 disassembles SUMO chains from cellular substrate proteins. We use a proteomic method to identify putative SENP6 substrates based on increased apparent molecular weight after SENP6 depletion.

Nuclear rupture at sites of high curvature compromises retention of DNA repair factors. [PDF]
The nucleus is physically linked to the cytoskeleton, adhesions, and extracellular matrix-all of which sustain forces, but their relationships to DNA damage are obscure. We show that nuclear rupture with cytoplasmic mislocalization of multiple DNA repair

This study identifies a novel molecular mechanism involving miR‐140‐5p that contributes to the pathogenesis of HGPS. By decreasing NRF2 expression, miR‐140‐5p overexpression results in downregulation of the NRF2/KEAP1/HO‐1 antioxidant pathway in HGPS fibroblasts, leading to increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, two hallmarks of ...

Heterozygous LMNA mutation-carrying iPSC lines from three cardiac laminopathy patients
LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy (LMNA-DCM) is caused by pathogenic variants in the LMNA gene and is characterized by left ventricular chamber enlargement, reduced systolic function, and arrhythmia.

SUMOylation regulates mitochondrial processes, but its impact on protein import remains unclear. TOM40 is identified, a mitochondrial outer membrane channel protein, as a substrate of deSUMOylase SENP6. TOM40 SUMOylation disrupts outer membrane complex assembly, inhibits protein import, and compromises mitochondrial homeostasis.

A Spontaneous Fatp4/Scl27a4 Splice Site Mutation in a New Murine Model for Congenital Ichthyosis [PDF]
Congenital ichthyoses are life-threatening conditions in humans. We describe here the identification and molecular characterization of a novel recessive mutation in mice that results in newborn lethality with severe congenital lamellar ichthyosis. Mutant

The Inner Nuclear Membrane Has a Unique Lipid Signature
The inner nuclear membrane (INM) has a distinct lipid profile, most notably characterized by high enrichment of phosphatidylserine (PS). In this review, Yang Niu and Tamas Balla summarize recent advances in elucidating the INM's lipid composition and related metabolic pathways, while elaborating further on their potential functional roles.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome—Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is one of the most severe disorders among laminopathies—a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases with a molecular background based on mutations in the LMNA gene and genes coding for interacting proteins.

Atrial TR as more favourable prognosis except in advanced patients. Abstract Background and Aims Although the classification of secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) by atrial or ventricular aetiology (A‐STR or V‐STR) carries prognostic importance, the confounding effects of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class have not yet been elucidated.
