Lamin A in mechanosignaling. Increasing tension causes partial unfolding and dephosphorylation of lamin A as well as assembly of soluble lamin A into the lamina. These structural and biochemical changes of the protein may affect chromatin organization and cell signaling, thereby activating the reinforcement response, including increased lamin A expression and remodeling of the cytoskeleton and the ECM.
