Disease relevance of LMNB2

 

High impact information on LMNB2

 

Biological context of LMNB2

  • Mitotic reorganization correlates with phosphorylation of the chicken lamin B2 protein by a mitosis-specific yeast lamin kinase with similarities to the mitotic lamin kinase of higher eukaryotes [5].
  • Moreover, phorbol ester treatment of intact cells leads to a substantial reduction of the rate of nuclear import of newly synthesized lamin B2 in vivo [2].
  • Quantitatively, we found that all large endoplasmic reticulum-like membranes present in metaphase cells were decorated with lamin B2-specific antibodies [6].
  • Lamin B2 was expressed in fairly constant amounts in all cell types investigated (except for pachytene-stage germ cells) [7].
 

Anatomical context of LMNB2

 

Other interactions of LMNB2

  • Furthermore, we show that in vitro translation of transcripts derived from lamin A and lamin B2 cDNAs yielded polypeptides that were indistinguishable, by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, from the putative in vivo precursors of lamins A and B2 respectively [8].
  • From these results we conclude that both chicken lamins B1 and B2 may functionally resemble mammalian lamin B. Interestingly, immunolabeling of mitotic cells revealed an association of lamin B2 with extended membrane cisternae that resembled elements of the endoplasmic reticulum [6].
  • At its first level of structural organization, lamin B2 formed "myosin-like" 3.1S dimers consisting of a 52-nm-long tail flanked at one end by two globular heads [1].
