Protein Function Barrier-to-Autointegration Factor (BAF), a DNA-binding protein involved in post-mitotic NE reformation and cytosolic viral regulation, as an essential protein for nuclear rupture repair. 
Biochemical Properties BAF forms obligate dimers, with each monomer binding to dsDNA (hereafter referred to simply as DNA) in a sequence-independent manner, allowing for the looping and condensation of DNA through intramolecular cross-bridging. Along with DNA, BAF also binds to the LAP2-Emerin-MAN1 (LEM) domain, a motif found in a family of proteins known collectively as the LEM-domain proteins of the INM, ER, and nucleoplasm.

Significance of PTMs Phosphorylation on Thr-2; Thr-3 and Ser-4 disrupts its ability to bind DNA and reduces its ability to bind LEM domain-containing proteins.
