PKC-mediated phosphorylation of nuclear lamins at a single serine residue regulates interphase nuclear size in Xenopus and mammalian cells
How nuclear size is regulated is a fundamental cell-biological question with relevance to cancers, which often exhibit enlarged nuclei. We previously reported that conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) contributes to nuclear size reductions that occur during early Xenopus development. Here we report that PKC-mediated phosphorylation of lamin B3 (LB3) contributes to this mechanism of nuclear size...
متن کاملNuclear lamins in cancer.
Dysmorphic nuclei are commonly seen in cancers and provide strong motivation for studying the main structural proteins of nuclei, the lamins, in cancer. Past studies have also demonstrated the significance of microenvironment mechanics to cancer progression, which is extremely interesting because the lamina was recently shown to be mechanosensitive. Here, we review current knowledge relating ca...
متن کاملNuclear Lamins a and B1
At the end of mitosis, the nuclear lamins assemble to form the nuclear lamina during nuclear envelope formation in daughter cells. We have fused A- and B-type nuclear lamins to the green fluorescent protein to study this process in living cells. The results reveal that the A- and B-type lamins exhibit different pathways of assembly. In the early stages of mitosis, both lamins are distributed th...
متن کاملExpression of nuclear lamins in mammalian somatic cells lacking cytoplasmic intermediate filament proteins.
Using immunofluorescence and immunoblotting techniques, we have examined the composition of the nuclear lamina in murine plasmacytoma cells, MPC-11, exposed to the phorbol ester TPA as well as in two cell lines devoid of cytoplasmic intermediate filament proteins, the human adrenal cortex carcinoma-derived cells SW-13 and the clone C6-M-D4 derived from the rat glial cell line C6. Our results sh...
متن کاملNuclear lamins: key regulators of nuclear structure and activities
The nuclear lamina is a proteinaceous structure located underneath the inner nuclear membrane (INM), where it associates with the peripheral chromatin. It contains lamins and lamin-associated proteins, including many integral proteins of the INM, chromatin modifying proteins, transcriptional repressors and structural proteins. A fraction of lamins is also present in the nucleoplasm, where it fo...
