Chain reaction: LINC complexes and nuclear positioning
Open accessAbstract
Nuclear positioning plays an essential role in defining cell architecture and behaviour in both development and disease, and nuclear location frequently adjusts according to internal and external cues. For instance, during periods of migration in many cell types, the nucleus may be actively repositioned behind the microtubule-organising centre. Nuclear movement, for the most part, is dependent upon coupling of the cytoskeleton to the nuclear periphery. This is accomplished largely through SUN and KASH domain proteins, which together assemble to form LINC (linker of the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complexes spanning the nuclear envelope. SUN proteins of the inner nuclear membrane provide a connection to nuclear structures while acting as a tether for outer nuclear membrane KASH proteins. The latter contain binding sites for diverse cytoskeletal components. Recent publications highlight new aspects of LINC complex regulation revealing that the interplay between SUN and KASH partners can strongly influence how the nucleus functionally engages with different branches of the cytoskeleton.

The osteoclast cytoskeleton is made of four categories of filamentous structures and fulfills essential functions including cell adhesion, migration, contractility, division, vesicular transport, and bone resorption.
“The osteoclast cytoskeleton is made of filamentous structures that belong to one of four categories: polarized actin filaments; polarized microtubules; non-polarized intermediate filaments; or non-polarized septin filaments. The cytoskeleton fulfills essential functions including cell adhesion, migration, contractility, division, vesicular transport, and bone resorption [2,3,4,5,6].”
From Osteoclasts and Microgravity (2020) · cites this paper as [6]
The LINC diversity section discusses actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments as cytoskeletal systems. It does not identify four categories, mention septin filaments, or establish the listed functions for osteoclasts, including bone resorption. Page numbers are not available in our copy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
