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.

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.

Involvement of the lamin rod domain in heterotypic lamin interactions important for nuclear organization [PDF]
, 2001 The nuclear lamina is a meshwork of intermediate-type filament proteins (lamins) that lines the inner nuclear membrane. The lamina is proposed to be an important determinant of nuclear structure, but there has been little direct testing of this idea.

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

Intermediate filaments in the heart: The dynamic duo of desmin and lamins orchestrates mechanical force transmission [PDF]
, 2023 The intermediate filament (IF) cytoskeleton supports cellular structural integrity, particularly in response to mechanical stress. The most abundant IF proteins in mature cardiomyocytes are desmin and lamins.

Unweaving the role of nuclear Lamins in neural circuit integrity [PDF]
, 2018 Lamins are type-V intermediate filament proteins that comprise the nuclear lamina. Although once considered static structural components that provide physical support to the inner nuclear envelope, recent studies are revealing additional functional and ...

The innate immunity adaptor SARM translocates to the nucleus to stabilize lamins and prevent DNA fragmentation in response to pro-apoptotic signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sterile alpha and armadillo-motif containing protein (SARM), a highly conserved and structurally unique member of the MyD88 family of Toll-like receptor adaptors, plays an important role in innate immunity signaling and apoptosis.

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.
