Summary

The nucleoskeletal protein lamina-associated polypeptide 2(α) (LAP2*) contains a large, unique C terminus and differs significantly from its alternatively spliced, mostly membrane-integrated isoforms, such as LAP2beta. Unlike lamin B-binding LAP2beta, LAP2alpha was found by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy to colocalize preferentially with A-type lamins in the newly formed nuclei assembled after mitosis. While only a subfraction of lamins A and C (lamin A/C) was associated with the predominantly nuclear LAP2alpha in telophase, the majority of lamin A/C colocalized with LAP2alpha in G(1)-phase nuclei. Furthermore, selective disruption of A-type lamin structures by overexpression of lamin mutants in HeLa cells caused a redistribution of LAP2alpha. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed that a fraction of lamin A/C formed a stable, SDS-resistant complex with LAP2alpha in interphase cells and in postmetaphase cell extracts. Blot overlay binding studies revealed a direct binding of LAP2alpha to exclusively A-type lamins and located the interaction domains to the C-terminal 78 amino acids of LAP2alpha and to residues 319–566 in lamin A/C, which include the C terminus of the rod and the entire tail common to lamin A/C. These findings suggest that LAP2alpha and A-type lamins cooperate in the organization of internal nuclear structures.

2020 at The Company of Biologists

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.

Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.

Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
