A tailless Drosophila lamin Dm0 fragment reveals lateral associations of dimers.

Abstract excerpt

An early step in nuclear lamin polymerization is the longitudinal, head-to-tail association of lamin dimers through the highly conserved end segments of their rod domains. Lamin fragments lacking the carboxy-terminal tail domain (tailless lamins) form long, thin protofilaments more readily than full-length lamins do. By morphology alone it cannot be ascertained whether tailless lamin protofilaments also arise...
