SUN domain-containing protein 1

UniProtKB accession:  Q9D666

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  As a component of the LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex involved in the connection between the nuclear lamina and the cytoskeleton (PubMed:20711465, PubMed:16380439, PubMed:24062341, PubMed:25892231, PubMed:26842404). The nucleocytoplasmic interactions established by the LINC complex play an important role in the transmission of mechanical forces across the nuclear envelope and in nuclear movement and positioning (PubMed:19874786). Required for interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) and essential for nucleokinesis and centrosome-nucleus coupling during radial neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex and during glial migration (PubMed:19874786). Involved in telomere attachment to nuclear envelope in the prophase of meiosis implicating a SUN1/2:KASH5 LINC complex in which SUN1 and SUN2 seem to act at least partial redundantly (PubMed:17543860, PubMed:19211677, PubMed:19509342, PubMed:24062341, PubMed:25892231, PubMed:26842404). Required for gametogenesis and involved in selective gene expression of coding and non-coding RNAs needed for gametogenesis (PubMed:17543860). Helps to define the distribution of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) (PubMed:17724119). Required for efficient localization of SYNE4 in the nuclear envelope (PubMed:23348741). May be involved in nuclear remodeling during sperm head formation in spermatogenesis (PubMed:20711465). May play a role in DNA repair by suppressing non-homologous end joining repair to facilitate the repair of DNA cross-links (By similarity).
