Energy- and temperature-dependent transport of integral proteins to the inner nuclear membrane via the nuclear pore [PDF]
, 2004 Resident integral proteins of the inner nuclear membrane (INM) are synthesized as membrane-integrated proteins on the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are transported to the INM throughout interphase using an unknown trafficking mechanism.

Protein sub-nuclear localization prediction using SVM and Pfam domain information. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The nucleus is the largest and the highly organized organelle of eukaryotic cells. Within nucleus exist a number of pseudo-compartments, which are not separated by any membrane, yet each of them contains only a specific set of proteins.

Specific nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins can promote the location of chromosomes to and from the nuclear periphery [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Different cell types have distinctive patterns of chromosome positioning in the nucleus. Although ectopic affinity-tethering of specific loci can be used to relocate chromosomes to the nuclear periphery, endogenous nuclear envelope proteins ...

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1997 The defining feature of eukaryotic organisms is the cell nucleus. All nuclear proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm and need to be imported through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) into the nucleus. Import can be directed by various signals, of which the classical nuclear localization signal (NLS) and the M9 import signal are the best ...

Protein phosphatases at the nuclear envelope [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2018 The nuclear envelope (NE) is a unique topological structure formed by lipid membranes (Inner and Outer Membrane: IM and OM) interrupted by open channels (Nuclear Pore complexes). Besides its well-established structural role in providing a physical separation between the genome and the cytoplasm and regulating the exchanges between the two cellular ...

Involvement of the lamin rod domain in heterotypic lamin interactions important for nuclear organization [PDF]
, 2001 The nuclear lamina is a meshwork of intermediate-type filament proteins (lamins) that lines the inner nuclear membrane. The lamina is proposed to be an important determinant of nuclear structure, but there has been little direct testing of this idea.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome—Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Cells, 2019 Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is one of the most severe disorders among laminopathies—a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases with a molecular background based on mutations in the LMNA gene and genes coding for interacting proteins.
