Pushing the envelope - How the genome interacts with the nuclear envelope in health and disease.

Adv Protein Chem Struct Biol

January 2025

Genome Organisation and Dynamics Cluster, Center for Genome Engineering and Maintenance, Division of Biosciences, College of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Brunel University London, Uxbridge, London, United Kingdom. Electronic address:

The nuclear envelope has for long been considered more than just the physical border between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm, emerging as a crucial player in genome organisation and regulation within the 3D nucleus. Consequently, its study has become a valuable topic in the research of cancer, ageing and several other diseases where chromatin organisation is compromised. In this chapter, we will delve into its several sub-elements, such as the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and nuclear envelope proteins, and their diverse roles in nuclear function and maintenance.

Role of lamins in cellular physiology and cancer.

Adv Protein Chem Struct Biol

Lamins, which are crucial type V intermediate filament proteins found in the nuclear lamina, are essential for maintaining the stability and function of the nucleus in higher vertebrates. They are classified into A- and B-types, and their distinct expression patterns contribute to cellular survival, development, and functionality. Lamins emerged during the transition from open to closed mitosis, with their complexity increasing alongside organism evolution.

Protein homeostasis is crucial for maintaining cardiomyocyte (CM) function. Disruption of proteostasis results in accumulation of protein aggregates causing cardiac pathologies such as hypertrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and heart failure. Here, we identify ubiquitin-specific peptidase 5 (USP5) as a critical determinant of protein quality control (PQC) in CM.

Angiopoietin-2: A Therapeutic Target for Vascular Protection in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.

Int J Mol Sci

December 2024

Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA.

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a pediatric condition characterized by clinical features that resemble accelerated aging. The abnormal accumulation of a toxic form of the lamin A protein known as progerin disrupts cellular functions, leading to various complications, including growth retardation, loss of subcutaneous fat, abnormal skin, alopecia, osteoporosis, and progressive joint contractures. Death primarily occurs as the result of complications from progressive atherosclerosis, especially from cardiac disease, such as myocardial infarction or heart failure, or cerebrovascular disease like stroke.

Laminopathies represent a wide range of genetic disorders caused by mutations in gene-encoding proteins of the nuclear lamina. Altered nuclear mechanics have been associated with laminopathies, given the key role of nuclear lamins as mechanosensitive proteins involved in the mechanotransduction process. To shed light on the nuclear partners cooperating with altered lamins, we focused on Src tyrosine kinase, known to phosphorylate proteins of the nuclear lamina.
