“…CTDNEP1 regulates nuclear membrane amount and lipid composition through activation of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase, lipin1 67,74,83,84,86,90 , which has downstream effects on chromosome segregation, post-mitotic nuclear assembly, nuclear pore insertion, and protein stability 65,67,80,87,91 . CTDNEP1 may also regulate major signaling pathways, including myc, BMP and WNT, that can affect actin organization through lipin-independent mechanisms [92][93][94][95][96][97][98] . Our analysis of nuclear features after CTDNEP1 depletion demonstrates that the increase in membrane rupture is due to a new mechanism not linked to nuclear lamina organization, actin bundle organization, or nuclear pore insertion defects.…”
