Characterization of NE81, the first lamin-like nucleoskeleton protein in a unicellular organism

Dictyostelium NE81 is the first protein found in a lower eukaryote with properties justifying its denomination as a lamin-like protein. Knockout and overexpression mutants revealed an important role for NE81 in nuclear integrity, chromatin organization, and mechanical stability of cells
