High impact information on LamC

 

Biological context of LamC

 

Anatomical context of LamC

  • The antibodies decorate the nuclear envelope in Drosophila Kc tissue culture cells as well as in salivary and accessory glands demonstrating that pG-IF encodes a nuclear lamin (lamin C) [3].
  • In addition, we analyzed the polymer formation of two Drosophila lamin C mutants and found that a segment in the carboxy-terminal tail domain is required for assembly of lamin C paracrystals at the nuclear lamina [8].
 

Regulatory relationships of LamC

  • 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 [9].
  • A null mutation of the dcp-1 gene, one of the two known Drosophila caspase genes, also results in development of melanotic tumors and larval death, suggesting that the ectopically expressed lamin C inhibits apoptosis through competitive inhibition of caspase activity [6].
 

Other interactions of LamC

  • 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 [3].
