NSL complex acetylates Lamin A/C

Nature Cell Biology volume 21, pages 1177–1178 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

The non-specific lethal (NSL) complex is a highly conserved MOF acetyltransferase-containing complex. A recent study now shows that the NSL complex acetylates a new non-histone target, Lamin A/C and reveals the NSL complex as a crucial factor in maintaining nuclear architecture and genome integrity.
