GAP activity, but not subcellular targeting, is required for Arabidopsis RanGAP cellular and developmental functions [PDF]
The Ran GTPase activating protein (RanGAP) is important to Ran signaling involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport, spindle organization, and postmitotic nuclear assembly.

Nuclear envelope remnants: fluid membranes enriched in sterols and polyphosphoinositides.
BackgroundThe cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is a highly dynamic compartment where membranes readily undergo fission and fusion to reorganize the cytoplasmic architecture, and to import, export and transport various cargos within the cell.

Diseases of the Nuclear Envelope [PDF]
In the past decade, a wide range of fascinating monogenic diseases have been linked to mutations in the LMNA gene, which encodes the A-type nuclear lamins, intermediate filament proteins of the nuclear envelope. These diseases include dilated cardiomyopathy with variable muscular dystrophy, Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy, a Charcot-Marie ...

Remodeling of the Nuclear Envelope and Lamina during Bovine Preimplantation Development and Its Functional Implications. [PDF]
The present study demonstrates a major remodeling of the nuclear envelope and its underlying lamina during bovine preimplantation development. Up to the onset of major embryonic genome activation (MGA) at the 8-cell stage nuclei showed a non-uniform ...

Nuclear envelope assembly defects link mitotic errors to chromothripsis
Defects in the architecture or integrity of the nuclear envelope are associated with a variety of human diseases1. Micronuclei, one common nuclear aberration, are an origin for chromothripsis2, a catastrophic mutational process that is commonly observed ...

Deformation of the nucleus by TGFβ1 via the remodeling of nuclear envelope and histone isoforms
The cause of nuclear shape abnormalities which are often seen in pre-neoplastic and malignant tissues is not clear. In this study we report that deformation of the nucleus can be induced by TGFβ1 stimulation in several cell lines including Huh7.

Viruses and the nuclear envelope
Viruses encounter and manipulate almost all aspects of cell structure and metabolism. The nuclear envelope (NE), with central roles in cell structure and genome function, acts and is usurped in diverse ways by different viruses. It can act as a physical barrier to infection that must be overcome, as a functional barrier that restricts infection by ...

Nuclear Envelope Regulation of Oncogenic Processes: Roles in Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive and intractable malignancy with high mortality. This is due in part to a high resistance to chemotherapeutics and radiation treatment conferred by diverse regulatory mechanisms.

Nuclear envelope mechanobiology: linking the nuclear structure and function
The nucleus, central to cellular activity, relies on both direct mechanical input as well as its molecular transducers to sense external stimuli and respond by regulating intra-nuclear chromatin organization that determines cell function and fate.
