A- and C-type lamins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for the maintenance of nuclear shape and most likely nuclear architecture. Here, we propose that pronounced invaginations of A/C-type lamins into the nuclear interior represent channels for the transport of regulatory molecules to and from nuclear and nucleolar regions. Using fluorescent protein technology and immunofluorescence, we show that A-type lamin channels interact with several nuclear components, including fibrillarin- and UBF-positive regions of nucleoli, foci of heterochromatin protein 1 , polycomb group bodies, and genomic regions associated with DNA repair. Similar associations were observed between A/C-type lamin channels and nuclear pores, lamin-associated protein LAP2, and promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies. Interestingly, regions with high levels of A/C-type lamins had low levels of B-type lamins, and vice versa.
