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 ...

Mechanosensing in Dendritic Cells. [PDF]
Immunol RevABSTRACT Since their discovery, dendritic cells have been recognized for their unusual capacity to sense and respond to physical stimuli within their environment. However, it took nearly two decades—and the advent of mechanobiology—to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and functional implications of this mechanical hypersensitivity. In this review, we

LAP2alpha maintains a mobile and low assembly state of A-type lamins in the nuclear interior
eLife, 2021 Lamins form stable filaments at the nuclear periphery in metazoans. Unlike B-type lamins, lamins A and C localize also in the nuclear interior, where they interact with lamin-associated polypeptide 2 alpha (LAP2α).

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 ...

Fundamenta Mathematicae, 2022 Thurston introduced \emph{invariant (quadratic) laminations} in his 1984 preprint as a vehicle for understanding the connected Julia sets and the parameter space of quadratic polynomials. Important ingredients of his analysis of the angle doubling map $ _2$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{S}^1$ were the Central Strip Lemma, non-existence of wandering ...

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-

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 The nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filament proteins that are critically important for the structural properties of the nucleus. In addition, they are involved in the regulation of numerous nuclear processes, including DNA replication, transcription and chromatin organization.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2016 Lamins are intermediate filaments that form a complex meshwork at the inner nuclear membrane. Mammalian cells express two types of Lamins, Lamins A/C and Lamins B, encoded by three different genes, LMNA, LMNB1 and LMNB2.

Mammalian telomeres and their partnership with lamins [PDF]
, 2016 Chromosome ends are complex structures, which require a panel of factors for their elongation, replication, and protection. We describe here the mechanics of mammalian telomeres, dynamics and maintainance in relation to lamins.

Nuclear lamin phosphorylation: an emerging role in gene regulation and pathogenesis of laminopathies
Nucleus, 2020 Decades of studies have established that nuclear lamin polymers form the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork that supports the nuclear envelope structure and tethers heterochromatin to the nuclear periphery.
