A Perspective on the Experimental Techniques for Studying Lamins [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 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

A-type lamins involvement in transport and implications in cancer?

open access: yesNucleus, 2022
Nuclear lamins and transport are intrinsically linked, but their relationship is yet to be fully unraveled. A multitude of complex, coupled interactions between lamins and nucleoporins (Nups), which mediate active transport into and out of the nucleus ...

Effects of mutant lamins on nucleo-cytoskeletal coupling in Drosophila models of LMNA muscular dystrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The nuclei of multinucleated skeletal muscles experience substantial external force during development and muscle contraction. Protection from such forces is partly provided by lamins, intermediate filaments that form a scaffold lining the inner nuclear ...

LAP2alpha maintains a mobile and low assembly state of A-type lamins in the nuclear interior

open access: yeseLife, 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).

Unicritical laminations

open access: yesFundamenta 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 ...

Nuclear Lamins [PDF]

open access: yesCold 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.

Physiological and pathological ageing affects chromatin dynamics, structure and function at the nuclear edge

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesNucleus, 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.

The telomeric protein AKTIP interacts with A- and B-type lamins and is involved in regulation of cellular senescence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.
