A Perspective on the Experimental Techniques for Studying Lamins [PDF]
Cells, 2017 Lamins are type V intermediate filaments that collectively form a meshwork underneath the inner nuclear membrane, called nuclear lamina. Furthermore, they are also present in the nucleoplasm. Lamins are experiencing a growing interest, since a wide range

Post-Translational Modification of Lamins: Mechanisms and Functions
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Lamins are the ancient type V intermediate filament proteins contributing to diverse biological functions, such as the maintenance of nuclear morphology, stabilization of chromatin architecture, regulation of cell cycle progression, regulation of spatial-

Nuclear lamina strain states revealed by intermolecular force biosensor
Nature Communications, 2023 Nuclear lamins have been considered an important structural element of the nucleus. The nuclear lamina is thought both to shield DNA from excessive mechanical forces and to transmit mechanical forces onto the DNA.

Lamins and lamin-associated proteins
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1994 A variety of morphological and biochemical studies have established that the nuclear lamins play an important role in nuclear structure and dynamics. Recent work reveals the existence of specialized lamin isotypes and novel pathways of modulation of lamin import into the nucleus via phosphorylation by protein kinase C.

Nuclear lamins and diabetes mellitus
STEMedicine, 2020 In metazoans, a thin filamentous network referred to as the nuclear lamina plays an essential role in providing mechanical support to the nucleus. The major constituent of the nuclear lamina is type V intermediate filament proteins that are collectively ...

Drosophila Models Reveal Properties of Mutant Lamins That Give Rise to Distinct Diseases
Cells, 2023 Mutations in the LMNA gene cause a collection of diseases known as laminopathies, including muscular dystrophies, lipodystrophies, and early-onset aging syndromes.

Regulation of Lipid Metabolism by Lamin in Mutation-Related Diseases
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 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.

Genome organization in cardiomyocytes expressing mutated A-type lamins
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cardiomyopathy is a myocardial disorder, in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal, often leading to heart failure. Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by a compromised left ventricular function and contributes significantly
