TorsinA regulates the LINC to moving nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
How LINC complexes are regulated to connect nuclei to the cytoskeleton during nuclear migration is unknown. Saunders et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201507113) show that the AAA+ ATPase torsinA and its partner LAP1 are required for nuclear migration during fibroblast polarization by mediating the dynamics of LINC complexes.

A role for cerebellum in the hereditary dystonia DYT1
DYT1 is a debilitating movement disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in torsinA. How these mutations cause dystonia remains unknown. Mouse models which have embryonically targeted torsinA have failed to recapitulate the dystonia seen in patients, possibly due to differential developmental compensation between rodents and humans. To address this issue, torsinA was acutely knocked down i...
متن کاملThe Molecular Basis of LINC Complex Formation
The nucleus is the hallmark of the eukaryotic cell. It contains most of the genetic material and it separates the processes of replication and transcription from that of translation. Communication between the nucleus and the cytoplasm occurs mostly through openings in the nuclear envelope composed of nuclear pore complexes. These massive assemblies allow for regulated transport of macromolecule...
متن کاملLINC Complexes Mediate the Positioning of Cone Photoreceptor Nuclei in Mouse Retina
It has long been observed that many neuronal types position their nuclei within restricted cytoplasmic boundaries. A striking example is the apical localization of cone photoreceptors nuclei at the outer edge of the outer nuclear layer of mammalian retinas. Yet, little is known about how such nuclear spatial confinement is achieved and further maintained. Linkers of the Nucleoskeleton to the Cy...
متن کاملLinc-ROR and its spliced variants 2 and 4 are significantly up-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Objective(s): Similar characteristics of molecular pathways between cellular reprogramming events and tumorigenesis have been accentuated in recent years. Reprogramming-related transcription factors, also known as Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC), are also well-known oncogenes promoting cancer initiation, progression, and cellular transformation into cancer stem cells. Long non-co...
متن کاملNuclear migration events throughout development.
Moving the nucleus to a specific position within the cell is an important event during many cell and developmental processes. Several different molecular mechanisms exist to position nuclei in various cell types. In this Commentary, we review the recent progress made in elucidating mechanisms of nuclear migration in a variety of important developmental models. Genetic approaches to identify mut...
