Nuclear envelope assembly relies on CHMP-7 in the absence of BAF-LEM-mediated hole closure

S. R. Barger, L. Penfield, S. Bahmanyar

The paper investigates NE hole closure during meiosis II in C. elegans oocytes, showing distinct roles for BAF-LEM and LEM-2-CHMP-7 in sealing NE holes around spindle MTs.

Nuclei function as wedges to pry open spaces and promotecollective, confined cell migration in vivo

L. Penfield, D. Montell

The paper shows that nuclei act as wedges to enable collective cell migration in vivo by stabilizing protrusions during Drosophila border cell movement.

Local regulation of lipid synthesis controls ER sheet insertion into nuclear envelope holes to complete nuclear closure

L. Penfield, R. Shankar, E. Szentgyörgyi, A. Laffitte, M. Mauro, A. Audhya, T. Müller-Reicher, S. Bahmanyar

The paper shows that CNEP-1 regulates ER sheet insertion into nuclear envelope holes during meiosis, ensuring closure without ESCRT-III.
