High impact information on baf-1

We analyzed the in vivo function of BAF in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos using both RNA interference and a temperature-sensitive baf-1 gene mutation and found that BAF is directly involved in nuclear envelope (NE) formation [1].
Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) binds dsDNA, LEM-domain proteins, and lamins [2].
Barrier-to-autointegration factor is required to segregate and enclose chromosomes within the nuclear envelope and assemble the nuclear lamina [2].
Barrier-to-autointegration factor plays crucial roles in cell cycle progression and nuclear organization in Drosophila [3].
