text
  • accumulation of progerin, a truncated form of farnesylated and carboxymethylated prelamin A identified in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome cells, induces BANF1 recruitment in the nucleus
  • essential component of the nuclear lamina
  • nuclear periphery proteins LMNA, TMPO and BANF1 relocate to the spindle and the cell cortex in mitosis
  • presence of the EMD fraction which associates with mitotic spindle microtubules and centrosomes during mitosis and colocalizes during early mitosis with LMNA, BANF1, and membranes at the mitotic spindle
  • basic FUNCTION
  • protect retroviral DNA from autointegration
  • required for the integrity of the nuclear lamina and normal progression of S phase in human cells
  • BANF1 and emerin have dynamic roles in genome integrity and might help couple DNA damage responses to the nuclear lamina network
  • DNA-binding protein that interacts directly with histones, lamins and LEM-domain proteins and has roles in chromatin structure, mitosis and gene regulation
  • could mediate prelamin A-induced chromatin effects
  • required to maintain the self-renewal of both mouse and human embryonic stem cells
  • prelamin A involvement in BANF1 nuclear recruitment, suggesting BANF1-prelamin A complex as a protein platform usually activated in prelamin A-accumulating diseases
  • is an essential player of nuclear reformation at the end of mitosis
  • essential component of the nuclear lamina
  • possible roles of BANF1 in regulation of keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation
  • new role for BANF1: remodeling intracellular membranes upon detection of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in mammalian cells
  • abundant, highly conserved DNA binding protein
  • LMNA, TMPO and BANF1 are assembled into a protein complex during mitosis in order to regulate assembly and positioning of the mitotic spindle
  • is involved in multiple pathways including mitosis, nuclear assembly, viral infection, chromatin and gene regulation and the DNA damage response
  • contributes to multiple aspects of genome maintenance and intercepts retrovirus, poxvirus, and herpesvirus genomes during infection
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, chromatin organization, remodeling

    protein
  • lamina-associated polypeptide 2
  • assembled first at the distinct core' region of the telophase chromosome and formed an immobile complex by directly binding with other core-localizing nuclear envelope proteins, such as lamin A and emerin (
  • ANKLE2 is required for BANF1 dephosphorylation
  • VRK1 is the major kinase responsible for phosphorylation of BANF1
  • BANF1 interaction with LMNA plays an essential role, and mutations associated with progeroid syndromes leads to a dysregulation of BANF1-mediated chromatin organization and gene expression
  • LMNA domain both directly binds self-assembled EMD and interacts with monomeric EMD LEM domain through the dimeric BANF1 protein
  • TMEM201 binds EMD, which in turn binds to the chromatin protein barrier-to-autointergration factor (BANF1)
  • through its N-terminal LAP2-emerin-MAN1 (LEM)-domain, EMD interacts with the DNA-binding protein barrier-to-autointegration BANF1
