The inner nuclear membrane protein NEMP1 is required for nuclear envelope openings and enucleation of erythroblasts during erythropoiesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Nuclear Envelope Membrane Proteins (NEMP) are a conserved family of nuclear envelope proteins that reside within the inner nuclear membrane. Even though Nemp1 knockout (KO) mice are overtly normal, they display a pronounced splenomegaly. This phenotype and recent reports describing a requirement for nuclear envelope openings during erythroblasts terminal maturation led us to examine a potential role for Nemp1 in erythropoiesis. Here, we report that Nemp1 knockout (KO) mice show peripheral blood defects, anemia in neonates, ineffective erythropoiesis, splenomegaly and stress erythropoiesis. The erythroid lineage of Nemp1 KO mice is overrepresented until the pronounced apoptosis of polychromatophilic erythroblasts. We show that NEMP1 localizes to the nuclear envelope of erythroblasts and their progenitors. Mechanistically, we discovered that NEMP1 accumulates into aggregates that localize near or at the edge of nuclear envelope openings and Nemp1 deficiency leads to a marked decrease of both nuclear envelope openings and ensuing enucleation. Together, our results for the first time demonstrate that NEMP1 is essential for nuclear envelope openings and erythropoietic maturation in vivo and provide the first mouse model of defective erythropoiesis directly linked to the loss of an inner nuclear membrane protein.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
