Abstract
AbstractThe linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex provides a multi‐functional bridge across the nuclear envelope, connecting nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton. This article considers the evidence for a LINC complex in higher plants and describes its key components, their functions, and interactions. Evidence is presented that the complex is based on two families of Sad1/UNC84 homology (SUN) domain proteins in the inner nuclear envelope (C‐ter SUNs and mid‐SUNs) and three major groups of Klarsicht/ANC‐1/Syne homology (KASH) domain proteins, WPP‐domain‐interacting proteins (WIPs), SUN‐interacting nuclear envelope proteins (SINEs), and Toll Interleukin Receptor domain KASH protein (TIK). Recent advances in analyzing the function of the complex in establishing nuclear shape and size, nuclear movement, and connecting nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton are described, together with its role in mitosis and meiosis.
