PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a N terminal head domain
	a central rod domain
	a nuclear localization signal (NLS)
	a C terminal tail with a CAAX doamin (a farnesyl group is attached to the cystein residue of the &
	8722;CAAX box by a farnesyltransferase)Dechat 2008)

mono polymer

homomer , heteromer , tetramer

HOMOLOGY

interspecies	homolog to rattus Lmnb2 (84.58 pc)
	homolog to murine Lmnb2 (83.53 pc)

Homologene

FAMILY

intermediate filament family, type V

CATEGORY

structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,intermed filament
	intracellular,nuclear envelope,int
	intracellular,nuclear envelope,lamina

basic FUNCTION	involved in nuclear stability, chromatin structure and gene expression
	responsible of DNA replication origin
	LMNA, LMNB1, LMNB2 not only constitute a scaffold for nuclear shape, rigidity and resistance to stress but also contribute to the organization of chromatin and chromosomal domains
	LMNB2 interaction with MCM7 promotes non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

coiled coil dimers associated to form a tetrameric subunit from which IFs assemble

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with TOP1, TOP2A in a cell cycle-modulated manner
	lamin B2 binds to the C-terminus of MCM7, and competes with the binding of the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma (RB1) protein

cell & other

REGULATION

Other

diassembly at the start and reassembly at the end of mitosis mediated by phosphorylation,dephosphorylation

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

corresponding disease(s)
