PRR14 organizes H3K9me3-modified heterochromatin at the nuclear lamina [PDF]
The eukaryotic genome is organized in three dimensions within the nucleus. Transcriptionally active chromatin is spatially separated from silent heterochromatin, a large fraction of which is located at the nuclear periphery.

Biology and Model Predictions of the Dynamics and Heterogeneity of Chromatin-Nuclear Lamina Interactions [PDF]
Associations of chromatin with the nuclear lamina, at the nuclear periphery, help shape the genome in 3 dimensions. The genomic landscape of lamina-associated domains (LADs) is well characterized, but much remains unknown on the physical and mechanistic ...

Nuclear shapes are geometrically determined by the excess surface area of the nuclear lamina [PDF]
Introduction: Nuclei have characteristic shapes dependent on cell type, which are critical for proper cell function, and nuclei lose their distinct shapes in multiple diseases including cancer, laminopathies, and progeria.

Baculoviruses exploit the mitotic kinase CDK1 to disrupt the nuclear lamina. [PDF]
The nuclear lamina is disassembled during mitosis, and certain DNA viruses exploit this process to facilitate replication. While we previously showed that baculoviruses disrupt the exogenously integrated lamina, their impact on the endogenous structure ...

Mapping the micro-proteome of the nuclear lamina and lamina-associated domains [PDF]
The nuclear lamina provides structure to the nucleus and serves as an interface between the cytoskeleton and large heterochromatin domains called LADs. This study describes the microproteome of this LAD/lamina interface.

Extreme wrinkling of the nuclear lamina is a morphological marker of cancer [PDF]
Nuclear atypia is a hallmark of cancer. A recent model posits that excess surface area, visible as folds/wrinkles in the lamina of a rounded nucleus, allows the nucleus to take on diverse shapes with little mechanical resistance.

The nuclear lamina binds the EBV genome during latency and regulates viral gene expression [PDF]
The Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infects almost 95% of the population worldwide. While typically asymptomatic, EBV latent infection is associated with several malignancies of epithelial and lymphoid origin in immunocompromised individuals.

3D Single Molecule Super-Resolution Microscopy of Whole Nuclear Lamina [PDF]
Single molecule (SM) super-resolution microscopies bypass the diffraction limit of conventional optical techniques and provide excellent spatial resolutions in the tens of nanometers without overly complex microscope hardware.

The Prolyl Isomerase Pin1 Promotes the Herpesvirus-Induced Phosphorylation-Dependent Disassembly of the Nuclear Lamina Required for Nucleocytoplasmic Egress. [PDF]
The nuclear lamina lines the inner nuclear membrane providing a structural framework for the nucleus. Cellular processes, such as nuclear envelope breakdown during mitosis or nuclear export of large ribonucleoprotein complexes, are functionally linked to

Actin assembly ruptures the nuclear envelope by prying the lamina away from nuclear pores and nuclear membranes in starfish oocytes. [PDF]
The nucleus of oocytes (germinal vesicle) is unusually large and its nuclear envelope (NE) is densely packed with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) stockpiled for embryonic development. We showed that breakdown of this specialized NE is mediated by an Arp2/3-
