Function

Lamin-A/C. Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that assemble into a filamentous meshwork, and which constitute the major components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10580070, PubMed:10587585, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:12075506, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:2188730, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:2344612, PubMed:23666920, PubMed:24741066, PubMed:31434876, PubMed:31548606, PubMed:37788673, PubMed:37832547). Lamins provide a framework for the nuclear envelope, bridging the nuclear envelope and chromatin, thereby playing an important role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, nuclear membrane and telomere dynamics (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10580070, PubMed:10587585, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:12075506, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:23666920, PubMed:24741066, PubMed:31548606, PubMed:37788673, PubMed:37832547). Lamin A and C also regulate matrix stiffness by conferring nuclear mechanical properties (PubMed:23990565, PubMed:25127216). The structural integrity of the lamina is strictly controlled by the cell cycle, as seen by the disintegration and formation of the nuclear envelope in prophase and telophase, respectively (PubMed:2188730, PubMed:2344612). Lamin A and C are present in equal amounts in the lamina of mammals (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10580070, PubMed:10587585, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:12075506, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:22431096, PubMed:23666920, PubMed:31548606). Also invoved in DNA repair: recruited by DNA repair proteins XRCC4 and IFFO1 to the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to prevent chromosome translocation by immobilizing broken DNA ends (PubMed:31548606). Required for normal development of peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle and for muscle satellite cell proliferation (PubMed:10080180, PubMed:10814726, PubMed:11799477, PubMed:18551513, PubMed:22431096). Required for osteoblastogenesis and bone formation (PubMed:12075506, PubMed:15317753, PubMed:18611980). Also prevents fat infiltration of muscle and bone marrow, helping to maintain the volume and strength of skeletal muscle and bone (PubMed:10587585). Required for cardiac homeostasis (PubMed:10580070, PubMed:12927431, PubMed:18611980, PubMed:23666920). Prelamin-A/C. Prelamin-A/C can accelerate smooth muscle cell senescence (PubMed:20458013). It acts to disrupt mitosis and induce DNA damage in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to mitotic failure, genomic instability, and premature senescence (PubMed:20458013).

Activity summary

Lamin C also known as LMNA forms part of the nuclear lamina which provides structural support to the cell nucleus. It has a molecular weight of approximately 65 kDa. Lamin C is expressed in various cell types especially in differentiated cells within tissues such as muscle cardiac and certain epithelial cells. It helps to maintain nuclear stability and influences gene expression by interacting with chromatin.

Biological function summary

Lamin C contributes to the architecture of the nuclear envelope as part of the lamina complex. This structural role influences the mechanical properties of cells which affects how cells respond to mechanical stress. Lamin C associates with proteins from the inner nuclear membrane and chromatin playing an essential role in nuclear organization. Disruptions in Lamin C function can affect the physical properties of nuclei impacting gene regulation and cell function.

Pathways

Multiple processes integrate Lamin C including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway. In these pathways Lamin C can interact with proteins like MAPK and Akt which are important for transmitting signals that regulate cell growth survival and differentiation. In these processes Lamin C ensures proper cell cycle progression and nuclear structural integrity highlighting its significant involvement in cellular dynamics.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations and malfunctions in Lamin C are connected to muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. These diseases highlight the importance of Lamin C in maintaining muscle tissue integrity and proper cardiac function. Lamin C mutations often co-occur with dysfunctions in Lamin A as both arise from the same precursor protein leading to overlapping symptoms in conditions like Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy.
