Possible receptor for attachment of lamin filaments to the inner nuclear membrane. May be involved in the control of initiation of DNA replication through its interaction with NAKAP95. TP and TP5 may play a role in T-cell development and function. TP5 is an immunomodulating pentapeptide. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed BACKGROUND: Integral membrane proteins of the inner nuclear membrane are involved in chromatin organization and postmitotic reassembly of the nucleus. The discovery that mutations in the gene encoding emerin causes X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy has enhanced interest in such proteins. A common structural domain of 50 residues, called the LEM domain, has been identified in emerin MAN1, and lamina-associated polypeptide (LAP) 2. In particular, all LAP2 isoforms share an N-terminal segment composed of such a LEM domain that is connected to a highly divergent LEM-like domain by a linker that is probably unstructured. RESULTS: We have determined the three-dimensional structures of the LEM and LEM-like domains of LAP2 using nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular modeling. Both domains adopt the same fold, mainly composed of two large parallel alpha helices. CONCLUSIONS: The structural LEM motif is found in human inner nuclear membrane proteins and in protein-protein interaction domains from bacterial multienzyme complexes. This suggests that LEM and LEM-like domains are protein-protein interaction domains. A region conserved in all LEM domains, at the surface of helix 2, could mediate interaction between LEM domains and a common protein partner.
