	a short domain that resides within the lumen between the inner and outer nuclear membrane (Puckelwartz 2009)

text	sarcomeric Z-line of skeletal and cardiac muscle
	at the nuclear envelope of synaptic nuclei
	outer nuclear membrane protein that is thought to link the nucleus to the actin cytoskeleton (Zhang 2010)
	localizes to processing bodies (PBs), where it acts as a microtubule-associated protein capable of linking mRNP complexes to microtubules

basic FUNCTION	playing an important role in muscle function
	functioning at both the Golgi and the nuclear envelope, perhaps linking the two organelles during muscle differentiation
	having an important function in muscle development and maintenance (Attali 2009)
	playing a role in anchoring nuclei at the neuromuscular junction
	multi-isomeric, spectrin-repeat proteins that bind both emerin and lamins A/C and form a network in muscle linking the nucleoskeleton to the inner nuclear membrane, the outer nuclear membrane, membraneous organelles, the sarcomere and the actin cytoskeleton
	in combination with two SUN-domain proteins, UNC84A and UNC84B, form a linking complex that couples the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeleton
	participate in the LINC complex that links the cytoplasm to the nucleus (Puckelwartz 2009)
	involved in anchoring specialized myonuclei underneath neuromuscular junctions (Attali 2009)
	essential for normal positioning and anchorage of nuclei in skeletal muscle
	may be forming the critical link between the nucleus and the myofibers, without which nuclear attachment to myofibers is completely abolished
	is not a structural component of the nucleus, but is rather a coupling element that mediates interactions between F-actin and the nucleus
	SYNE1, SYNE2 act as highly versatile tissue specific intracellular protein scaffolds
	plays an important role in the proliferation and apoptosis of mesenchymal stem cells
	SUN1, SUN2, SYNE1 (LINC complex) have emerged as a key regulators of actin cytoskeletal organisation
	LINC complex exists in a mechanical feedback circuit with RHOA to regulate Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) actomyosin activity and morphology
	mislocalization of LINC complex proteins (SUN1, SUN2, LMNA, EMD, SYNE1) is a significant characteristic of cellular senescence phenotypes and may influence complex events at the nuclear membrane, including trafficking and heterochromatin attachment

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	part of the LINC complex with the nesprin and SUN proteins (Puckelwartz 2009)
	SUN2 must form a trimer to bind to SYNE1, SYNE2, and this trimerization is mediated through two predicted coiled-coil regions of the protein, CC1 and CC2, which precede the SUN domain

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	emerin and lamin A
	interacting with TOR1A through the KASH domain (role for torsinA in dynamic interactions between the KASH domains of nesprins and their protein partners in the lumen of the nuclear envelope, with torsinA influencing the localization of nesprins and associated cytoskeletal elements and affecting their role in nuclear and cell movement) (Nery 2008)
	F-actin bound to SYNE1 and the actin cortical layer are considered to be involved in mechanical interaction with the nucleus

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	mice with deletion of the C-terminus of nesprin-1 (homozygous for this mutation) exhibit lethality with approximately half dying at or near birth from respiratory failure; surviving mice display hindlimb weakness and an abnormal gait (Puckelwartz 2009)
	young Nesprin 1–/– mice of both sexes experienced growth retardation, increased variability in body weight and decreased exercise tolerance compared with wild-type animals (Zhang 2010)
