Nesprin-2G, a Component of the Nuclear LINC Complex, Is Subject to Myosin-Dependent Tension

The nucleus of a cell has long been considered to be subject to mechanical force. Despite the observation that mechanical forces affect nuclear geometry and movement, how forces are applied onto the nucleus is not well understood. The nuclear LINC (linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complex...
