Molecular Force Gates Regulate Mechanical Transmission Across the Nuclear Envelope

The LINC (linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton) complex is a central mechanotransductive apparatus that physically couples cytoskeletal forces to the nuclear interior, thereby regulating nuclear architecture, chromatin organization, and downstream signaling. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we identify and characterize force gates within the LINC complex, structural…
