ABSTRACT The functional organization of the plant nuclear envelope is gaining increasing attention through new connections made between nuclear envelope-associated proteins and important plant biological processes. Animal nuclear envelope proteins play roles in nuclear morphology, nuclear anchoring and movement, chromatin tethering and mechanical signaling. However, how these roles translate to functionality in a broader biological context is often not well understood. A surprising number of plant nuclear envelope-associated proteins are plant-unique, suggesting that separate functionalities evolved after the split of Opisthokonta and Streptophyta. Significant progress has now been made in discovering broader biological roles of plant nuclear envelope proteins, increasing the number of known plant nuclear envelope proteins, and connecting known proteins to chromatin organization, gene expression, and the regulation of nuclear calcium. The interaction of viruses with the plant nuclear envelope is another emerging theme. Here, we survey the recent developments in this still relatively new, yet rapidly advancing field.

了解植物核膜生物学作用的最新进展

摘要：通过核膜相关蛋白与重要植物生物过程之间建立的新联系，植物核膜的功能组织越来越受到关注。动物核膜蛋白在核形态、核锚定和运动、染色质束缚和机械信号传导中发挥作用。然而，这些角色如何在更广泛的生物学背景下转化为功能通常还没有被很好地理解。数量惊人的植物核膜相关蛋白是植物特有的，这表明后康塔门和链球菌门分裂后进化出了不同的功能。目前，在发现植物核膜蛋白更广泛的生物学作用、增加已知植物核膜蛋白的数量以及将已知蛋白与染色质组织、基因表达和核钙调节联系起来方面已经取得了重大进展。病毒与植物核膜的相互作用是另一个新兴主题。在这里，我们调查了这个相对较新但发展迅速的领域的最新发展。
