Table 2. Subcellular localisations of nesprins
Protein Tissue/cell Localisation
Nesprin-1 Fibroblasts, COS7 (Ref. 23) NE, nucleus, nucleolus, stress fibres, focal adhesions
MDBK (Ref. 51) Golgi, centrosome
Mitotic HeLa and NRK (Ref. 62) Centrioles, spindle, midbody
VSMCs (Ref. 12) NE, nucleus
Mouse C2C12 (Ref. 12) NE, nucleolus, heterochromatin
Cardiac muscle (Refs 16, 22) NE, Golgi, muscle sarcomere, intercalated disc
Skeletal muscle (Refs 16, 22) NE, Golgi, muscle sarcomere (Z-line, M-line), synaptic nuclei
Nesprin-2 Fibroblasts, COS7 (Ref. 17) NE, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, plasma membrane, lamellipodia, filopodia, stress fibres
VSMCs (Ref. 14) NE, nucleus, plasma membrane
