Membrane lipid biosynthesis is a complex process that occurs in various intracellular compartments. In , phosphatidylinositol glycan-B (PIG-B), which catalyzes addition of the third mannose in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), localizes to the nuclear envelope (NE). Although this NE localization is essential for development, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. To elucidate this mechanism, we identified PIG-B-interacting proteins by performing immunoprecipitation followed by proteomic analysis. We then examined which of these proteins are required for the NE localization of PIG-B. Knockdown of Lamin Dm0, a B-type lamin, led to mislocalization of PIG-B from the NE to the endoplasmic reticulum. Lamin Dm0 associated with PIG-B at the inner nuclear membrane, a process that required the tail domain of Lamin Dm0. Furthermore, GPI moieties were distributed abnormally in the mutant. These data indicate that Lamin Dm0 is involved in the NE localization of PIG-B and is required for proper GPI-anchor modification of proteins.

Background: The Keap1-Nrf2 pathway serves as a central regulator that mediates transcriptional responses to xenobiotic and oxidative stimuli. Recent studies have shown that Keap1 and Nrf2 can regulate transcripts beyond antioxidant and detoxifying genes, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research has uncovered that Drosophila Keap1 (dKeap1) and Nrf2 (CncC) proteins can control high-order chromatin structure, including heterochromatin.

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) can provide nanoscale resolution in thin samples but has rarely been applied to tissues because of high background from out-of-focus emitters and optical aberrations. Here, we describe a line scanning microscope that provides optical sectioning for SMLM in tissues. Imaging endogenously-tagged nucleoporins and F-actin on this system using DNA- and peptide-point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (PAINT) routinely gives 30 nm resolution or better at depths greater than 20 µm.

Leukodystrophies are a heterogeneous group of rare inherited disorders that mostly involve the white matter of the CNS. These conditions are characterized by primary glial cell and myelin sheath pathology of variable aetiology, which causes secondary axonal degeneration, generally emerging with disease progression. Whole exome sequencing performed in five large consanguineous nuclear families allowed us to identify homozygosity for two recurrent missense variants affecting highly conserved residues of RNF220 as the causative event underlying a novel form of leukodystrophy with ataxia and sensorineural deafness.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated how the removal of the CaaX motif from Lamin B affects its connection to the nuclear membrane and the distribution of chromatin.
- The study used homozygous mutants lacking the CaaX box and found that mutant Lamin B was scattered throughout the nuclear interior, associating with chromosomes rather than being confined to the nuclear edge.
- While the positioning of Lamin C and other chromatin-related proteins remained unaffected, the fluorescence intensity changes indicated significant alterations in chromatin distribution, especially in proventriculus nuclei, although salivary gland nuclei showed little impact.
