The nuclear lamina is a network of lamin intermediate-filament proteins associated with the inner face of the nuclear envelope in many animal cells. It supports nuclear architecture and connects the envelope with chromatin. During typical open mitosis, regulated phosphorylation promotes lamina disassembly, allowing nuclear-envelope breakdown; reassembly accompanies formation of daughter nuclei. The nuclear lamina is therefore a dynamic structural system rather than an inert shell. [ref]
