...Sarah R. Barger; Lauren Penfield; Shirin Bahmanyar ABSTRACT Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) protein is a DNA-binding protein that crosslinks chromatin to allow mitotic nuclear envelope (NE) assembly. The LAP2-emerin-MAN1 (LEM)-domain protein LEMD2 and ESCRT-II/III hybrid protein CHMP7 close...

...Rhiannon M. Sears; Kyle J. Roux ABSTRACT Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF; encoded by BANF1 ) is a small highly conserved, ubiquitous and self-associating protein that coordinates with numerous binding partners to accomplish several key cellular processes. By interacting with double-stranded...

...Tokuko Haraguchi; Takako Koujin; Hiroko Osakada; Tomoko Kojidani; Chie Mori; Hirohisa Masuda; Yasushi Hiraoka Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) is a conserved metazoan protein that plays a critical role in retrovirus infection. To elucidate its role in uninfected cells, we first examined...

... acids which turns out to be a rat homolog of mouse and human BAF ( B arrier-to- A utointegration F actor). L2BP1 is distributed diffusely throughout the nucleus in interphase cells. It is, however, highly concentrated at the chromosomes during the M-phase. Further, the L2BP1 binding domain of LAP2...
