The nuclear envelope is a membrane system which surrounds the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is composed of the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and two nuclear membranes. The space between the two membranes is called the nuclear intermembrane space.
The nuclear lamina is a meshwork of intermediate filament proteins called lamins and lamin-binding proteins that are embedded in the inner nuclear membrane.
Architectural component of nuclear structure that plays different roles in controlling nuclear size and morphology (Probable). Involved in the modification of chromatin accessibility by interacting with SWI3C, a component of the chromatin-remodeling complex, to thus reduce the suppression effect of the complex (PubMed:32129897). Acts as positive regulator of drought resistance and modulates root growth (PubMed:32129897). Positively regulates the expression of genes related to root growth and drought resistance (PubMed:32129897). {Experimental EvidencePubMed:32129897, Curator InferencePubMed:32129897}.
