Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of BAF-Lamin A\/C-nucleosome complexes. Wefind that the BAF dimer complexed with the Lamin A\/C IgF domain occupiesthe nucleosomal dyad position, forminga tripartite nucleosomal DNA bindingstructure. We also show that the LaminA\/C Lys486 and His506 residues, whichare reportedly mutated in lipodystrophy patients, directly contact the DNA atthe nucleosomal dyad. Excess BAF-Lamin A\/C complexes symmetrically bindother nucleosomal DNA sites and connect two BAF-Lamin A\/C-nucleosomecomplexes. Although the linker histone H1 competes with BAF-Lamin A\/Cbinding at the nucleosomal dyad region, the two BAF-Lamin A\/C molecules stillbridge two nucleosomes. Thesefindings provide insights into the mechanismby which BAF, Lamin A\/C, and\/or histone H1 bind nucleosomes and influence chromatin organization within the nucleus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Nature Communications<\/em><\/strong>, doi: 10.1038\/s41467-025-56823-9.
