Modulation of muscle redox and protein aggregation rescues lethality caused by mutant lamins
Redox Biology, 2021 Mutations in the human LMNA gene cause a collection of diseases called laminopathies, which includes muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. The LMNA gene encodes lamins, filamentous proteins that form a meshwork on the inner side of the nuclear ...

Drosophila as a Model for Studying the Roles of Lamins in Normal Tissues and Laminopathies [PDF]
CellsNuclear 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 ...

Nuclear Mechanics and Nuclear Mechanotransduction in Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion [PDF]
BiomoleculesNuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction are involved in the migration and invasion process, such as those in which the cells need to deform themselves to pass through constrictions.

The relationship of lamins with epigenetic factors during aging
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2022 The key factor of genome instability during aging is transposon dysregulation. This may be due to senile changes in the expression of lamins, which epigenetically modulate transposons. Lamins directly physically interact with transposons.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 A-type lamins are the main structural components of the nucleus, which are mainly localized at the nucleus periphery. First of all, A-type lamins, together with B-type lamins and proteins of the inner nuclear membrane, form a stiff structure—the nuclear ...

A comparative study of Drosophila and human A-type lamins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Nuclear intermediate filament proteins, called lamins, form a meshwork that lines the inner surface of the nuclear envelope. Lamins contain three domains: an N-terminal head, a central rod and a C-terminal tail domain possessing an Ig-fold structural ...

Cells, 2022 Mutations in the genes LMNA and BANF1 can lead to accelerated aging syndromes called progeria. The protein products of these genes, A-type lamins and BAF, respectively, are nuclear envelope (NE) proteins that interact and participate in various cellular ...

Nuclear Lamins: Key Proteins for Embryonic Development
Biology, 2022 Lamins are essential components of the nuclear envelope and have been studied for decades due to their involvement in several devastating human diseases, the laminopathies.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Lamins A and C are nuclear intermediate filament proteins that form a proteinaceous meshwork called lamina beneath the inner nuclear membrane. Mutations in the LMNA gene encoding lamins A and C cause a heterogenous group of inherited degenerative ...
