Abstract The nuclear envelope (NE) is a permeable barrier that maintains nuclear–cytoplasmic compartmentalization and ensures nuclear function; however, it ruptures in various situations such as mechanical stress and mitosis. Although the protein components for sealing a ruptured NE have been identified, the mechanism by which lipid components are involved in this process remains to be elucidated.
