Caenorhabditis elegans RNAi downregulation of lpin-1 down

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction RNAi downregulation of lpin-1 for 48 hours or longer results in 100% embryonic lethality on N2 worms. Inactivation of lpin-1 promotes bi-nucleation. Co-depletion of lpin-1 and lamin significantly rescues the effect of lpin-1 depletion on nuclear envelope breakdown Caenorhabditis elegans
physiological function lpin-1 affects dynamics of the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme has no detectable effect on nuclear envelope assembly and expansion, but is crucially required for nuclear envelope breakdown and lamin depolymerization during mitosis. Lpin-1 acts independently of nuclear pore complexes and the transmembrane nucleoporin gp210 Caenorhabditis elegans
