Lamins A and C is required to anchor emerin at the nuclear envelope, and mutations in these proteins cause devastating diseases such as Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD). In work now available in #JBiolChem at www.jbc.org/article/S002..., we identify a novel lamin A/C-emerin binding site.

Very exciting work from @maggieutgaard.bsky.social in the Beach & Oakes labs pointing to a novel mechanoresponsive roles of septins in protecting the nucleus from mechanical stress. Enjoy the science, and the beautiful movies!
So excited to share the preprint with the bulk of my PhD work in the Beach @myosincity.bsky.social and Oakes @pwoakes.bsky.social Labs at Loyola University Chicago! We investigate the structure, recruitment, and function of septin networks around the nucleus. A thread:

It’s been a pleasure working with @apdaria.bsky.social, Julie Heffler, and the Prosser Lab on this study, supported by the Leducq Foundation and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This research is one step to get us closer to an effective treatment for cardiac #laminopathies and #LMNA-DCM.
It is finally out! Updated with exciting in-vivo microtubule disruption results to protect Lmna deficient nuclei from damage. My final postdoc project with Prosser Lab and a great collaboration with @lammerdinglab.bsky.social, Shenoy Lab, and Jain lab.
Research | Amiad Pavlov, Heffler et al. demonstrate that stress transmitted to the cardiomyocyte nucleus by the microtubule cage drives LMNA-associated cardiomyopathy and may represent a promising therapeutic target.

How do LMNA mutations cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and other #laminopathies? In our latest preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2024...), led by the amazing Noam Zuela-Sopilniak and Julien Morival, we show that cardiomyocyte-specific lamin A/C depletion causes severe DCM, consistent with other studies.
