Expression of Nup98 fusions perturbs the nuclear distribution of lamina-associated polypeptide 2α (LAP2α).HeLa cells were transiently transfected with GFP constructs and fixed and stained after 24 hours for immunofluorescence microscopy. (A) Lamin A/C (LA/C, red) concentrates at the nuclear envelope in HeLa control cells and in Nup98 expressing cells (green), while LAP2α (magenta) is found throughout the nucleoplasm. In HeLa cells expressing Nup98-HOXA9 (A) and Nup98-HHEX (B), LAP2α diminished from the nucleoplasm and aggregates at the nuclear periphery. Disruption of the homeodomain in HOXA9 (A) and HHEX (B) and the FG domain of Nup98 (A and B) prevent the relocation of the lamina proteins. DAPI was used to visualize DNA (merge). (B) Fluorescence intensity of LAP2α staining was determined along the axis shown as line in the fluorescence images and plotted as a graph. (D) Quantification of cells with altered LA/C and LAP2α distribution. About 400 cells were analyzed for each sample. (E) Western blot analysis of the expression levels of LA/C, LAP2α, and LB1.

Supplementary information

Lamina-associated polypeptide 2 alpha (LAP2 alpha) also known as LAP2A is part of the LAP2 protein family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 76 kDa. This protein connects with the nuclear lamina and is prominently expressed in the nucleus of most cell types. LAP2 alpha interacts with chromatin and its mechanical role involves regulating interactions between chromatin and nuclear structures.
Biological function summary

LAP2 alpha contributes to processes like nuclear stability and chromatin organization. It is involved in the formation of a complex with lamin A/C facilitating the association of this nuclear lamina protein. This interaction plays a significant role in dynamically organizing the nuclear architecture throughout the cell cycle influencing cell differentiation and proliferation.

Pathways

The interaction of LAP2 alpha with lamin A/C places it in the context of the nuclear envelope dynamics. Key pathways include the regulation of genome stability and DNA repair pathways. The interaction with lamin A/C influences how cells manage genome maintenance making LAP2 alpha important for cellular homeostasis.

LAP2 alpha shows relevance to muscular dystrophy and progeria. LAP2 alpha’s interaction with lamin A/C is important because mutations in lamin A/C are known to cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Additionally LAP2 alpha's role in nuclear architecture is significant in the context of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome where abnormalities in nuclear shape are evident. In these diseases LAP2 alpha's interaction or malfunction can lead to or exacerbate pathology.
