Dynein at the nuclear envelope [PDF]
Most cellular organelles are positioned through active transport by motor proteins. The authors discuss the evidence that dynein has important cell cycle-regulated functions in this context at the nuclear envelope.

Recent advances in understanding the biological roles of the plant nuclear envelope
The functional organization of the plant nuclear envelope is gaining increasing attention through new connections made between nuclear envelope-associated proteins and important plant biological processes.

Cell migration in dense microenvironments
The nucleus has been viewed as a passenger during cell migration that functions merely to protect the genome. However, increasing evidence shows that the nucleus is an active organelle, constantly sensing the surrounding environment and translating ...

Dystonia and the Nuclear Envelope [PDF]
Mutations in torsinA cause dominantly inherited early-onset torsion dystonia in humans. In this issue of Neuron, Goodchild et al. show that torsinA knockout and knockin mice have similar phenotypes, which suggests that the mutant torsinA allele causes disease because it has decreased function. The experiments also highlight the possible role of nuclear

Interplay of the nuclear envelope with chromatin in physiology and pathology
The nuclear envelope compartmentalizes chromatin in eukaryotic cells. The main nuclear envelope components are lamins that associate with a panoply of factors, including the LEM domain proteins.

Nuclear envelope budding and its cellular functions
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) has long been assumed to be the sole route across the nuclear envelope, and under normal homeostatic conditions it is indeed the main mechanism of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport.

TorsinA in the nuclear envelope [PDF]
Early-onset torsion dystonia, a CNS-based movement disorder, is usually associated with a single amino acid deletion (ΔE302/303) in the protein torsinA. TorsinA is an AAA+ ATPase in the endoplasmic reticulum, but what it does is unknown. Here, we use torsinA mutants with defects in ATP hydrolysis (E171Q, ATP-bound) and ATP binding (K108A, ATP-free) to ...

The Plant Nuclear Envelope and Its Role in Gene Transcription
Chromosomes are dynamic entities in the eukaryotic nucleus. During cell development and in response to biotic and abiotic change, individual sections as well as entire chromosomes re-organise and reposition within the nuclear space.

The nuclear envelope at a glance [PDF]
The cell nucleus is the ‘mothership’ that organizes, protects and regulates the genome. The inner and outer nuclear membranes (INM and ONM, respectively) of the nuclear envelope (NE) have over 60 distinct membrane proteins, whose roles and functional sophistication might rival the cell surface.

The nuclear envelope (NE) is a highly regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. It contains a large number of different proteins that have been implicated in chromatin organization and gene regulation.
