Insight into the functional organization of nuclear lamins in health and disease.

Abstract excerpt

Lamins are the main component of the nuclear lamina, a protein meshwork at the inner nuclear membrane which primarily provide mechanical stability to the nucleus. Lamins, type V intermediate filament proteins, are also involved in many nuclear activities. Structural analysis of nuclei revealed that lamins form 3.5nm thick filaments often interact with nuclear pore complexes. Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding...
