Nuclear membrane

Ever since Robert Brown's discovery of the nucleus in 1833 it has been known that the nucleus is surrounded by a membranous structure. The nuclear membrane consists of two lipid bilayers enclosing the nucleus and physically isolating it from the rest of the cell, which enables important molecular processes to occur in the nucleus without interference from the cytoplasm. Example images of proteins localized to the nuclear membrane can be seen in Figure 1.

In the subcellular section, 280 genes (1% of all protein-coding human genes) have been shown to encode proteins that localize to the nuclear membrane (Figure 2). A Gene Ontology (GO)-based functional enrichment analysis of the nuclear membrane proteins show enrichment of terms for biological processes mainly related to structural organization of the nucleus and nucleocytoplasmic transport. About 86% (n=242) of the nuclear membrane proteins localize to other cellular compartments in addition to the nuclear membrane, with 28% (n=78) also localizing to other substructures within the nuclear meta compartment.

Figure 1. Examples of proteins localized to the nuclear membrane. TPR is part of the nuclear pore complex required in nuclear trafficking, and is specifically involved in nuclear export of mRNAs (detected in A-431 cells). LMNB1 is a part of the nuclear lamina, and is a type of intermediate filament protein (detected in MCF7 cells). SUN2 is known to be part of the LINC protein complexes that enables connection of the cytoskeleton to the nuclear membrane (detected in A-431 cells).

The structure of the nuclear membrane

The nuclear membrane, also known as the nuclear envelope, consists of two lipid bilayers. The outermost membrane is contiguous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), while the innermost membrane is lined by a fibrillar network consisting of nuclear intermediate filament proteins, known as nuclear lamins. The nuclear lamina provides structural support and acts as an anchoring point for chromatin, thus playing an important role in nuclear organization. It has been suggested that lamins may also participate in DNA repair, as well as regulation of DNA replication and transcription (Dechat T et al. (2008)). Lamins are classified as A- or B-type lamins, and exhibit different biochemical and functional properties in terms of isoelectric points and behavior during mitosis. During the mitotic phase of cell division, B-type lamins will remain associated to membranes, whereas A-type lamins are solubilized and dispersed (Gruenbaum Y et al. (2005); Stuurman N et al. (1998)). A selection of proteins suitable as markers for the nuclear lamina and the nuclear membrane can be found in Table 1. A list of highly expressed nuclear membrane proteins, including lamins, are summarized in Table 2.

Table 1. Selection of proteins suitable as markers for the nuclear membrane.

Table 2. Highly expressed single localized nuclear membrane proteins across different cell lines.

The space between the inner and the outer membrane is called the perinuclear space. The membranes are connected to each other by large protein complexes, known as nuclear pore complexes, forming a large number of channels that allows for transport in and out of the nucleus. Each nuclear pore complex consists of 100-200 proteins that form a characteristic eight-fold ring symmetry (Paine PL et al. (1975); Reichelt R et al. (1990); CALLAN HG et al. (1950)). When imaging an intersection of the cell, the nuclear membrane is visible as a thin circle along the outer rim of the nucleus, which is consistent between cell lines (Figure 3). The membrane is however not perfectly smooth and the membranous cavities can appear as small circles or dots inside the nucleus, not to be confused with nuclear bodies.

The function of the nuclear membrane

The nuclear membrane serves as a barrier between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, separating gene regulation and transcription in the nucleus from translation in the cytoplasm (CALLAN HG et al. (1950); WATSON ML. (1955)). The nuclear pores allow for diffusion of small molecules, but also active transport of larger molecules like RNA and proteins, across the nuclear membrane (Paine PL et al. (1975); BAHR GF et al. (1954)). In that sense, the nuclear membrane creates a barrier, but also a linkage, between the nucleus and the rest of the cell. The nuclear membrane is a highly dynamic structure, with a composition that is altered throughout the cell cycle. After replication in S phase, the nuclear membrane expands in G2, but then breaks down upon entry into mitosis to enable connection of the spindle apparatus to the sister chromatids. The breakdown mechanism involves disassembly of the nuclear pore complexes and depolymerization of the nuclear lamina. Reassembly of the nuclear membrane occurs after the completion of mitosis (Terasaki M et al. (2001); Dultz E et al. (2008); Salina D et al. (2002); Beaudouin J et al. (2002); Gerace L et al. (1980); Ellenberg J et al. (1997); Yang L et al. (1997)). Mutations in genes encoding nuclear lamina associated proteins give rise to several diseases, collectively called laminopathies. One example is the protein emerin that mediates anchoring of the nuclear membrane to the cytoskeleton (Figure 6). Mutations in the EMD gene causes Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD); an X chromosome linked disease characterized by contractures and in many cases also cardiomyopathy (Bione S et al. (1994)).

Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of genes encoding proteins mainly localized to the nuclear membrane reveal enrichment of GO terms describing functions that are well in line with known functions of the nuclear membrane. The enriched terms for the GO domain Biological Process are mostly related to molecular transport (Figure 5a). Enrichment analysis of the GO domain Molecular Function gives top hits for terms related to lamins, nuclear pore complexes and nuclear trafficking (Figure 5b).

Nuclear membrane proteins with multiple locations

Among the nuclear membrane proteins identified in the subcellular section, approximately 86% (n=242) also localize to other cellular compartments (Figure 6). 28% (n=78) of them only localize to other nuclear substructures. The network plot shows that the most common locations shared with nuclear membrane are nucleoplasm and vesicles. Multilocalization between nuclear membrane and nucleus, or between nuclear membrane and ER, are overrepresented, while colocalization to nuclear memberane and cytosol are underrepresented. Localization to both the nuclear membrane and the nucleoplasm could highlight proteins that localize to the nucleoplasm and are enriched at the inner surface of the nuclear membrane or nuclear lamina, perhaps depending on cell type or state. Localization to the nuclear membrane and ER likely refkcts their interconnectivity. Examples of multilocalizing proteins within the nuclear membrane proteome can be seen in Figure 7.

Figure 6. Interactive network plot of nuclear membrane proteins with multiple localizations. The numbers in the connecting nodes show the proteins that are localized to the nuclear membrane and to one or more additional locations. Only connecting nodes containing more than one protein and at least 1% of proteins in the nuclear membrane proteome are shown. The circle sizes are related to the number of proteins. The cyan colored nodes show combinations that are significantly overrepresented, while magenta colored nodes show combinations that are significantly underrepresented as compared to the probability of observing that combination based on the frequency of each annotation and a hypergeometric test (p≤0.05). Note that this calculation is only done for proteins with dual localizations. Each node is clickable and results in a list of all proteins that are found in the connected organelles.

MX1 - U2OS
TOR1A - MCF-7

Figure 7. Examples of multilocalizing proteins in the nuclear membrane proteome. The examples show common or overrepresented combinations for multilocalizing proteins in the nuclear membrane proteome. EMD is known to be involved in multiple processes, for example actin formation and stabilization. EMD is localized to the nuclear membrane and the ER (detected in U-251 cells). MX1 inhibits virus replication by preventing nuclear import of viral compartments, and is a peripheral membrane protein. MX1 is localized to the nuclear membrane and the cytosol (detected in U2OS cells). TOR1A performs a variety of tasks such as protein folding and cell movement control. It is localized to the nuclear membrane and vesicles (detected in MCF7 cells).

Expression levels of nuclear membrane proteins in tissue

Transcriptome analysis and classification of genes into tissue distribution categories (Figure 8) show that genes encoding nuclear membrane proteins have a similar distribution between these classes as do all genes presented in the subcellular section.
