Distinct functional domains in emerin bind lamin A and DNA-bridging protein BAF.

TL;DR: The demonstration that emerin binds directly to barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), a DNA-bridging protein, provides proof in principle that all LEM-domain nuclear proteins can interact with BAF, with interesting implications for chromatin attachment to the nuclear envelope.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAF is required for emerin assembly into the reforming nuclear envelope.

TL;DR: It is concluded that BAF is required for the assembly of emerin and A-type lamins at the reforming NE during telophase, and may mediate their stability in the subsequent interphase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Live fluorescence imaging reveals early recruitment of emerin, LBR, RanBP2, and Nup153 to reforming functional nuclear envelopes

TL;DR: Results showed that emerin, LBR, and several NPC components, but not Tpr, reconstitute around chromosomes very early in telophase prior to the recovery of nuclear import activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerin binding to Btf, a death-promoting transcriptional repressor, is disrupted by a missense mutation that causes Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Btf localization is regulated by apoptotic signals, and that loss of emerin binding to Btf may be relevant to muscle wasting in Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
