Molecular insights into LINC complex architecture through the crystal structure of a luminal trimeric coiled-coil domain of SUN1

The LINC complex, consisting of interacting SUN and KASH proteins, mechanically couples nuclear contents to the cytoskeleton. In meiosis, the LINC complex transmits microtubule-generated forces to chromosome ends, driving the rapid chromosome movements that are necessary for synapsis and crossing ov...
