Scaffold, mechanics and functions of nuclear lamins

open access: yes, 2023
Nuclear lamins are type-V intermediate filaments that are involved in many nuclear processes. In mammals, A- and B-type lamins assemble into separate physical meshwork underneath the inner nuclear membrane, the nuclear lamina, with some residual fraction

Lamins: the structure and protein complexes

open access: yes, 2015
Lamins are nuclear intermediate filament (IF) proteins. They assemble to fibrous structures that are positioned between the inner nuclear membrane and the peripheral chromatin. A small fraction of lamins is also present in the nucleoplasm.

B-type lamins in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
For over two decades, B-type lamins were thought to have roles in fundamental processes including correct assembly of nuclear envelopes, DNA replication, transcription and cell survival.

Lamin chromatin binding is modulated by interactions of different LAP2α domains with lamins and chromatin

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Lamins A and C are components of the lamina at the nuclear periphery and associate with heterochromatin. A distinct, relatively mobile pool of lamin A/C in the nuclear interior associates with euchromatic regions and with lamin-associated ...

Clinical and genetic characteristics of hereditary laminopathies

open access: yesАнналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017
Naminopathies belong to a wide allelic series of diseases caused by mutations of one gene, LMNA, encoding for protein lamin A/C. Different mutations in the LMNA gene cause autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive EmeryDreifuss muscular dystrophy ...

Video6_Effects of mutant lamins on nucleo-cytoskeletal coupling in Drosophila models of LMNA muscular dystrophy.AVI

open access: yes, 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 ...

Microtubular and Nuclear Functions of γ-Tubulin: Are They LINCed?

open access: yesCells, 2019
γ-Tubulin is a conserved member of the tubulin superfamily with a function in microtubule nucleation. Proteins of γ-tubulin complexes serve as nucleation templates as well as a majority of other proteins contributing to centrosomal and non ...

Novel Roles for A-Type Lamins in Maintaining Genomic Stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A-type lamins, key structural components of the nucleus, have been implicated in the maintenance of nuclear architecture and chromatin organization. Mutations in A-type lamins have been associated with defects in a number of nuclear processes, including ...

Nuclear Mechanics and Nuclear Mechanotransduction in Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion

open access: yesBiomolecules
Nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction are involved in the migration and invasion process, such as those in which the cells need to deform themselves to pass through constrictions.
