The nuclear lamina consists of two components, lamins and nuclear lamin-associated membrane proteins. The lamins are type V intermediate filaments which can be categorized as either A-type (lamin A, C) or B-type (lamin B 1, B 2) according to homology of their DNA sequences, biochemical properties and cellular localization during the cell cycle.
They are attached to the nuclear envelope membrane via farnesyl anchors and interaction with inner nuclear membrane proteins such as lamin B receptor and emerin. The nuclear lamina appears to be an adaptation to mobility in animals as sessile organisms such as plants or fungi do not have lamins [11] and the symptoms of many laminopathies ...
The injection of laminin-111, however, helps with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a neuromuscular disease in which the connection between the extracellular matrix and cell cytoskeleton is lost. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Increased levels of laminin-111 triggered an increase in the expression of α7-integrin receptor and this prevented onset of the disease. [ 7 ]
Lamin A and C are the most common A-type lamins and are splice variants of the LMNA gene found at 1q21. These proteins localize to two regions of the nuclear compartment, the nuclear lamina—a proteinaceous structure layer subjacent to the inner surface of the nuclear envelope and throughout the nucleoplasm in the nucleoplasmic veil.
During mitosis, the lamina matrix is reversibly disassembled as the lamin proteins are phosphorylated. Lamin proteins are thought to be involved in nuclear stability, chromatin structure and gene expression. Vertebrate lamins consist of two types, A and B. Through alternate splicing, this gene encodes three type A lamin isoforms. [10]
Once doctors realized something was wrong with Caper, he was given an MRI. That’s when they discovered that he had a brain malformation on his left side called a hemimegalencephaly, or HME.
Within the perinuclear space (between inner and outer nuclear membranes) are SUN-1 and -2 which form connections with the KASH domain proteins on nesprin and the nuclear envelope lumen. [3] Interestingly, the removal of either SUN -1 or -2 individually will not disrupt LINC complex connectivity, indicating the similarity between the two proteins.
This effect has led some to describe the post-injection look as “reptilian.” Person undergoing a beauty treatment, highlighting a controversial trend warned by doctors. Image credits: doctoryoun
