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

Lamins and lamin-associated proteins
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.

A novel role of lamins from genetic disease to cancer biomarkers
Lamins are the key components of the nuclear lamina and by virtue of their interactions with chromatin and binding partners act as regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation.

Nuclear lamins: Structure and function in mechanobiology
Nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filament proteins that polymerize into complex filamentous meshworks at the nuclear periphery and in less structured forms throughout the nucleoplasm.

Nuclear lamins and diabetes mellitus
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 ...

Myopathic lamin mutations cause reductive stress and activate the nrf2/keap-1 pathway. [PDF]
Mutations in the human LMNA gene cause muscular dystrophy by mechanisms that are incompletely understood. The LMNA gene encodes A-type lamins, intermediate filaments that form a network underlying the inner nuclear membrane, providing structural support ...

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

The laminA/NF-Y protein complex reveals an unknown transcriptional mechanism on cell proliferation [PDF]
Lamin A is a component of the nuclear matrix that also controls proliferation by largely unknown mechanisms. NF-Y is a ubiquitous protein involved in cell proliferation composed of three subunits (-YA -YB -YC) all required for the DNA ...

Lamins are major components of the nuclear lamina, a network of proteins that supports the nuclear envelope in metazoan cells. Over the past decade, biochemical studies have provided support for the view that lamins are not passive bystanders providing ...
