The nuclear envelope proteome differs notably between tissues

چکیده
One hypothesis to explain how mutations in the same nuclear envelope proteins yield pathologies focused in distinct tissues is that as yet unidentified tissue-specific partners mediate the disease pathologies. The nuclear envelope proteome was recently determined from leukocytes and muscle. Here the same methodology is applied to liver and a direct comparison of the liver, muscle and leukocyte data sets is presented. At least 74 novel transmembrane proteins identified in these studies have been directly confirmed at the nuclear envelope. Within this set, RT-PCR, western blot and staining of tissue cryosections confirms that the protein complement of the nuclear envelope is clearly distinct from one tissue to another. Bioinformatics reveals similar divergence between tissues across the larger data sets. For proteins acting in complexes according to interactome data, the whole complex often exhibited the same tissue-specificity. Other tissue-specific nuclear envelope proteins identified were known proteins with functions in signaling and gene regulation. The high tissue specificity in the nuclear envelope likely underlies the complex disease pathologies and argues that all organelle proteomes warrant re-examination in multiple tissues.

The nuclear membrane proteome: extending the envelope.
The marriage of proteomics with cell biology has produced extensive inventories of the proteins that inhabit several subcellular organelles. Recent proteomic analysis has identified many new putative transmembrane proteins in the nuclear envelope, and transcriptome profiling suggests that the nuclear-membrane proteome exhibits some significant variations among different tissues. Cell-type-speci...

The discovery that many inherited diseases are linked to interacting nuclear envelope proteins has raised the possibility that human genetic studies could be assisted by a fusion with proteomics. Two principles could be applied. In the first, the proteome of an organelle associated with a genetically variable disease is determined. The chromosomal locations of the genes encoding the organellar ...
متن کاملTissue specificity in the nuclear envelope supports its functional complexity
Nuclear envelope links to inherited disease gave the conundrum of how mutations in near-ubiquitous proteins can yield many distinct pathologies, each focused in different tissues. One conundrum-resolving hypothesis is that tissue-specific partner proteins mediate these pathologies. Such partner proteins may have now been identified with recent proteome studies determining nuclear envelope compo...
متن کاملPurification of nuclei and preparation of nuclear envelopes from skeletal muscle.
The nuclear envelope is a complex membrane-protein system that is notoriously difficult to purify because it has many connections to both nuclear and cytoplasmic components. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that the nature of these connections vary in different cell types, and so methods must be significantly adapted according to the cell type from which nuclear envelopes are being pur...
