Abstract excerpt
The role of nuclear lamins in DNA replication is unclear. To address this, nuclei were assembled in Xenopus extracts containing AraC, a reversible inhibitor that blocks near the onset of the elongation phase of replication. Dominant-negative lamin mutants lacking their NH(2)-terminal domains were added to assembled nuclei to disrupt lamin organization. This prevented the resumption of DNA replication after the...
