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.

Lamins and lamin-associated proteins

open access: yesCurrent 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.

A novel role of lamins from genetic disease to cancer biomarkers

open access: yesOncology Reviews, 2016
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

open access: yesAPL Bioengineering, 2022
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.

Pushing the (nuclear) envelope into meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A recent study shows that a short isoform of a mammalian nuclear lamin is important for homologous chromosome interactions during meiotic prophase in ...

Nuclear lamins and diabetes mellitus

open access: yesSTEMedicine, 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 ...

Myopathic lamin mutations cause reductive stress and activate the nrf2/keap-1 pathway. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
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

open access: yesCells, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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 ...

Recent advances in understanding the role of lamins in health and disease [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
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 ...
