The intricate interplay between lamins and chromatin underpins the structural integrity and functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus. Lamins, type V intermediate filament proteins, form a robust meshwork beneath the inner nuclear membrane that is crucial for sustaining nuclear architecture through interactions with lamin-associated domains (LADs). LADs are predominantly heterochromatic regions in which compacted chromatin is enriched at the nuclear periphery, interacting with lamins and lamin-associated proteins. Disruptions of these interactions are implicated in a spectrum of diseases, including laminopathies, cancer, and age-related pathologies, highlighting the importance of lamin-LAD interactions. Thus, a detailed understanding of lamin-chromatin interactions may provide new insights into chromatin organization and shed light on the mechanism behind certain disease states. Here, we discuss the current state of knowledge of lamin-chromatin interactions from a biochemical and structural point of view.
