Disease relevance of Lam

 

High impact information on Lam

  • Consistently, proximity of genomic regions to the nuclear lamina is partly conserved between cell types, and induction of gene expression or active histone marks reduces Lam binding [6].
  • Lam target genes cluster in the genome, and these clusters are coordinately expressed during development [6].
  • Antibodies directed against nuclear envelope lamin proteins have been used in conjunction with three-dimensional light and electron microscope methodologies to determine the spatial organization of lamins in diploid interphase nuclei and to relate this organization to the positions of chromatin in the nuclear periphery [7].
  • Using Drosophila early embryos, Drosophila Kc cells, and human HeLa cells, it is qualitatively and quantitatively observed that lamins are organized as a highly discontinuous, apparently fibrillar network that leaves large voids in the nuclear periphery containing little or no lamin [7].
  • The sequence organization and positions of the tRNA genes in a tRNA gene cluster at chromosomal region 42A of the D. melanogaster (Dm) genome have been studied by recombinant DNA methods [8].
 

Biological context of Lam

  • These transgenic animals display a nuclear lamin aggregation phenotype remarkably similar to that observed when human mutant A-type lamins are expressed in mammalian cells [9].
  • Substituting either of the threonine residues in the TRAT sequence with negatively charged residues decreases the binding of lamin Dm(0) to chromatin, indicating that this binding could be regulated by phosphorylation [10].
  • Taken together, these results suggest that specific residues in lamin Dm(0) and histone H2A mediate the attachment of the nuclear lamina to chromosomes in vivo, which could have implications on the understanding of laminopathic diseases [10].
  • Thus, our results suggest that the JIL-1 kinase is required to maintain nuclear morphology and integrity of nurse cells during oogenesis and that this function may be linked to molecular interactions with lamin Dm0 [11].
  • Two isoforms of a single nuclear lamin, distinguishable on one-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gels, have previously been identified in Drosophila nuclei during interphase [12].
 

Anatomical context of Lam

 

Associations of Lam with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Lam

  • The JIL-1 kinase interacts with lamin Dm0 and regulates nuclear lamina morphology of Drosophila nurse cells [11].
  • Here, we show that C-terminal lamin-interacting region of YA is sufficient to target the heterologous soluble protein GFP-NLS to the nuclear periphery in Drosophila tissue culture cells [21].
  • Fourth, the N-terminal domain of dLBR is sufficient for in vitro binding to sperm chromatin and lamin Dm0 [22].
  • Interactions between coiled-coil proteins: Drosophila lamin Dm0 binds to the bicaudal-D protein [23].
  • We show that the polymerized alpha-helical rod domain of lamin Dm0 provides by itself the specific binding to the ftz M/SAR [24].
 

Co-localisations of Lam

 

Regulatory relationships of Lam

  • Kc cells contain products of both lamin genes, the lamin Dm0 gene encoding constitutive polypeptides expressed in almost all cell types and the developmentally regulated lamin C gene [27].
  • Third, we mutated tailless lamin using two point mutations known to inhibit head-to-tail association of full-length lamin [28].
 

Other interactions of Lam

  • The Klarsicht/lamin interaction provides a framework for understanding the mechanistic basis of human laminopathies [14].
  • Expression of Drosophila lamin C is similar to that of vertebrate lamin A (plus C), which loses its CaaX motif during incorporation into the lamina [15].
  • They also suggest that the need for both otefin and lamin in mediating association of vesicles with chromatin might reflect the function of a protein complex that includes these two proteins [13].
  • The two-hybrid system was further used to map the domains of interaction among lamin, otefin, and YA [13].
  • In contrast, when lamin DmO was reduced by RNAi the distribution of Bocksbeutel and otefin in the nuclear envelope of Kc167 cells was significantly altered [29].
