Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 A-type lamins are the main structural components of the nucleus, which are mainly localized at the nucleus periphery. First of all, A-type lamins, together with B-type lamins and proteins of the inner nuclear membrane, form a stiff structure—the nuclear ...

Nuclear lamina strain states revealed by intermolecular force biosensor
Nature Communications, 2023 Nuclear lamins have been considered an important structural element of the nucleus. The nuclear lamina is thought both to shield DNA from excessive mechanical forces and to transmit mechanical forces onto the DNA.

Nuclear lamins: building blocks of nuclear architecture [PDF]
Genes & Development, 2002 Nuclear lamins were initially identified as the major components of the nuclear lamina, a proteinaceous layer found at the interface between chromatin and the inner nuclear membrane (Fawcett 1966). Due to their position at the periphery of the nucleus, lamins were originally proposed to support the nuclear envelope and provide anchorage sites for ...

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.

Chromosome positioning is largely unaffected in lymphoblastoid cell lines containing emerin or A-type lamin mutations [PDF]
, 2005 Gene-poor human chromosomes are reproducibly found at the nuclear periphery in proliferating cells. There are a number of inner nuclear envelope proteins that may have roles in chromosome location and anchorage, e.g. emerin and A-type lamins.

Nuclear lamin functions and disease [PDF]
Trends in Genetics, 2012 Recent studies have shown that premature cellular senescence and normal organ development and function depend on the type V intermediate filament proteins, the lamins, which are major structural proteins of the nucleus. This review presents an up-to-date summary of the literature describing new findings on lamin functions in various cellular processes ...

The telomeric protein AKTIP interacts with A- and B-type lamins and is involved in regulation of cellular senescence [PDF]
, 2016 AKTIP is a shelterin-interacting protein required for replication of telomeric DNA. Here, we show that AKTIP biochemically interacts with A- and B-type lamins and affects lamin A, but not lamin C or B, expression.

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.

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 ...

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.
