LINCing complex functions at the nuclear envelope
Linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes span the double membrane of the nuclear envelope (NE) and physically connect nuclear structures to cytoskeletal elements. LINC complexes are envisioned as force transducers in the NE, which facilitate processes like nuclear anchorage and migration, or chromosome movements. The complexes are built from members of two evolutionary conserv...
متن کاملDynein at the nuclear envelope.
Most cellular organelles are posi tioned through active transport by motor proteins. this is espe cially important during cell division, a time when the organelles and genetic content need to be divided equally between the two daughter cells. although individual proteins can attain their correct location by diffusion, larger structures are usually posi tioned through active transport by moto...
متن کاملThe COPI complex functions in nuclear envelope breakdown and is recruited by the nucleoporin Nup153.
Nuclear envelope breakdown is a critical step in the cell cycle of higher eukaryotes. Although integral membrane proteins associated with the nuclear membrane have been observed to disperse into the endoplasmic reticulum at mitosis, the mechanisms involved in this reorganization remain to be fully elucidated. Here, using Xenopus extracts, we report a role for the COPI coatomer complex in nuclea...

متن کاملProtein phosphatases at the nuclear envelope
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 compartments, it has become quite evident in re...
