Cell type-specific expression of nuclear lamina proteins during development of Xenopus laevis 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
The cell type-specific expression of the major nuclear lamina polypeptides ("lamins") during development of Xenopus was studied using two monoclonal antibodies (L(0)46F7: specific for LIII, the single lamin of oocytes; PKB8: specific for LI and LII of some somatic cells). In the oocyte, LIII localizes in the nuclear polymer, but upon nuclear envelope breakdown it is solubilized to a form sedimenting at 9 S. In early embryos, LIII contributes to nuclear lamina formation until its depletion. Correspondingly, LI and LII begin to be expressed at a specific point in embryogenesis and appear to be integrated with LIII into a common lamina structure. Later in development, LIII reappears as a prominent nuclear lamina protein but only in certain cells (neurons, muscle cells, and diplotene oocytes). We conclude that amphibian lamins represent a family of proteins expressed in relation to certain programs of cell differentiation. 相似文献

We have been able to demonstrate that a fraction of DNA becomes crosslinked to nuclear lamina shells isolated from Ehrlich ascites tumour cells irradiated with UV light. Terminal labeling of short DNA fragments covalently attached to proteins reveals that DNA has become crosslinked to all three lamins and to a protein comigrating with vimentin. 相似文献

We obtained a monoclonal antibody (RL13) that identifies three integral membrane proteins specific to the nuclear envelope of rat liver, a major 75-kD polypeptide and two more minor components of 68 and 55 kD. Immunogold labeling of isolated nuclear envelopes demonstrates that these antigens are localized specifically to the inner nuclear membrane, and that the RL13 epitope occurs on the inner membrane's nucleoplasmic surface where the nuclear lamina is found. When nuclear envelopes are extracted with solutions containing nonionic detergent and high salt to solubilize nuclear membranes and pore complexes, most of these integral proteins remain associated with the insoluble lamina. Since the polypeptides recognized by RL13 are relatively abundant, they may function as lamina attachment sites in the inner nuclear membrane. Major cross-reacting antigens are found by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence microscopy in all rat cells examined. Therefore, these integral proteins are biochemical markers for the inner nuclear membrane and will be useful models for studying nuclear membrane biogenesis. 相似文献

Phasor-assisted Metal Induced Energy Transfer–Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (MIET-FLIM) nanoscopy is introduced as a powerful tool for functional cell biology research. Thin metal substrates can be used to obtain axial super-resolution via nanoscale distance-dependent MIET from fluorescent dyes towards a nearby metal layer, thereby creating fluorescence lifetime contrast between dyes located at different nanoscale distance from the metal. Such data can be used to achieve axially super-resolved microscopy images, a process known as MIET-FLIM nanoscopy. Suitability of the phasor approach in MIET-FLIM nanoscopy is first demonstrated using nanopatterned substrates, and furthermore applied to characterize the distance distribution of the epithelial basal membrane of a biological cell from the gold substrate. The phasor plot of an entire cell can be used to characterize the full Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) trajectory as a large distance heterogeneity within the sensing range of about 100 nm from the metal surface is present due to the extended shape of cell with curvatures. In contrast, the different proteins of nuclear lamina show strong confinement close to the nuclear envelope in nanoscale. We find the lamin B layer resides in average at shorter distances from the gold surface compared to the lamin A/C layer located in more extended ranges. This and the observed heterogeneity of the protein layer thicknesses suggests that A- and B-type lamins form distinct networks in the nuclear lamina. Our results provide detailed insights for the study of the different roles of lamin proteins in chromatin tethering and nuclear mechanics. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody against nuclear lamina proteins reveals cell type-specificity in Xenopus laevis 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Immunofluorescence microscopy shows that the monoclonal murine antibody PKB8 stains the nuclear lamina of various somatic cells from vertebrates as diverse as mammals, birds and amphibia. It also decorates the nuclear periphery of oocytes from rat and chicken but does not react with spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoa. Immunoblotting experiments demonstrate reaction with lamina polypeptides A, B and C of rat, with lamina polypeptide A of chicken, and with lamina polypeptides LI and LII of erythrocytes of the frog, Xenopus laevis. Antibody PKB8 does, however, not bind, on blotted polypeptides and on sections through ovaries, to the pore complex-lamina polypeptide of Mr 68000 present in Xenopus oocytes. These results reveal the existence of a common antigenic determinant in all three lamina polypeptides of mammals, in one lamina polypeptide of chicken and in two amphibian lamina polypeptides. The immunological data also indicate that, in Xenopus laevis, pore complex-lamina polypeptides of somatic cells and oocytes are distinct. The Mr 68000 protein of Xenopus oocytes is also different from polypeptides LI and LII of somatic Xenopus cells by tryptic peptide mapping. The results suggest that nuclear pore complex-lamina polypeptides represent a family of related polypeptides containing regions highly conserved during evolution and that these polypeptides can be differentially expressed in cells of at least one species, Xenopus laevis. 相似文献

Recently, progress in the study of lamins has been made in three areas: signals required for targetting newly synthesized lamins to the correct subnuclear compartment have been identified; information on lamina assembly has been obtained from in vitro studies using bacterially expressed proteins; and a mechanistic explanation for how the nuclear lamina is diassembled at the onset of mitosis is emerging. 相似文献

The nuclear lamina comes of age 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Many nuclear proteins form lamin-dependent complexes, including LEM-domain proteins, nesprins and SUN-domain proteins. These complexes have roles in chromatin organization, gene regulation and signal transduction. Some link the nucleoskeleton to cytoskeletal structures, ensuring that the nucleus and centrosome assume appropriate intracellular positions. These complexes provide new insights into cell architecture, as well as a foundation for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the human laminopathies - clinical disorders that range from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy to the accelerated ageing seen in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. 相似文献

Immunological relationship between oocyte nuclear proteins of Xenopus laevis and X. borealis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Monoclonal antibodies (mABs) have been raised against oocyte nuclear proteins of Xenopus laevis and X. borealis and have been screened for species specificity. Although about 40% of all germinal vesicle polypeptides differ between the two species as judged by two-dimensional gel analysis, most mABs react with polypeptides of both species. Biochemical analysis of the antigens by immunoblotting revealed that a homologue of each antigen of one species could be detected in the other species, despite frequent differences in molecular structure. Nevertheless, five strictly species-specific mABs have been identified. All five are directed against the same acidic polypeptide B3 of X. borealis, which is a structurally altered homologue of the protein N1, previously described in X. laevis germinal vesicles. In oocyte nuclei of hybrids between X. laevis females and X. borealis males, polypeptide of both species appear to be accumulated equivalently. Exceptions to this rule are most easily explained by differences between individuals and by the loss of certain alleles resulting from the cross. 相似文献

Xenopus laevis egg extracts cell-free nuclear assembly system was used as an experimental model to study the process of nuclear lamina assembly in nuclear reconstitutionin vitro. The experimental results showed that lamin was involved in the nuclear assemblyin vitro. The assembly of nuclear lamina was preceded by the assembly of nuclear matrix, and probably, inner nuclear matrix assembly provided the basis for nuclear lamina assembly. Inhibition of normal assembly of nuclear Iknina, by preincubating egg extracts cell-free system with anti-lamin antibodies, resulted in abnormal assembly of nuclear envelope, suggesting that nuclear envelope assembly is closely associated with nuclear lamina assembly. 相似文献

The nuclear lamina and inherited disease 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Inherited disorders of the nuclear lamina present some of the most intriguing puzzles in cell biology. Mutations in lamin A and lamin C – nuclear intermediate filament proteins that are expressed in nearly all somatic cells – cause tissue-specific diseases that affect striated muscle, adipose tissue and peripheral nerve or skeletal development. Recent studies provide clues about how different mutations in these proteins cause either muscle disease or partial lipodystrophy. Although the precise pathogenic mechanisms are currently unknown, the involvement of lamins in several different disorders shows that research on the nuclear lamina will shed light on common human pathologies. 相似文献

1. Two sets of polyclonal antibodies to two highly purified prey-derived snake-attractive proteins, a low molecular weight (3000) protein and a 20,000 mol. wt protein, were generated in rabbits. 2. They are immunospecific for their respective purified immunogens and do not cross-react with each other. 3. Eight prey-derived proteins that elicit attack by garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) from earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) were analyzed with these antibodies, and can be assigned to three distinct groups on the basis of their antigenic properties. 4. Unfolding or denaturation of the low molecular weight protein did not alter its antigenic activity to its polyclonal antibodies, suggesting the antigenic epitopes contain contiguous amino acid sequences. 5. In contrast, unfolding of the 20,000 mol. wt protein resulted in a loss of its binding with antibodies, suggesting that the epitope of this protein contains noncontiguous amino acid sequences. 6. The snake-attractivity of the 20,000 mol. wt protein could not be neutralized by reacting it with its antiserum, suggesting that the antigenic determinant (the epitope) of the antigen is not an integral part of the attractive domain of the ES20 protein. 7. In contrast, the attractivity of the purified low molecular weight protein could be neutralized by the polyclonal antibodies. 相似文献
