ABSTRACT The LMNA gene encodes the A-type lamins, which polymerize into ∼3.5-nm-thick filaments and, together with B-type lamins and associated proteins, form the nuclear lamina. Mutations in LMNA cause a wide variety of pathologies. In this study, we analyzed the nuclear lamina of embryonic fibroblasts from LmnaH222P/H222P mice, which develop cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy. Although the organization of the lamina appeared unaltered, there were changes in chromatin and B-type lamin expression. An increase in nuclear size and consequently a relative reduction in heterochromatin near the lamina allowed for a higher resolution structural analysis of lamin filaments using cryo-electron tomography. This was most apparent when visualizing lamin filaments in situ and using a nuclear extraction protocol. Averaging of individual segments of filaments in LmnaH222P/H222P mouse fibroblasts resolved two polymers that constitute the mature filaments. Our findings provide better views of the organization of lamin filaments and the effect of a striated muscle disease-causing mutation on nuclear structure. Highlighted Article: The lamin A/C H222P laminopathy mutation provides insights into lamin substructure organization.
