Core component of LINC complexes which are composed of inner nuclear membrane SUN domain-containing proteins coupled to outer nuclear membrane KASH domain-containing nesprins. SUN and KASH domain-containing proteins seem to bind each other promiscuously; however, some LINC complex constituents are tissue- or cell type-specific. At least SUN1/2-containing core LINC complexes are proposed to be hexameric composed of three protomers of each KASH and SUN domain-containing protein. The SUN2:SYNE2/KASH2 complex is a heterohexamer; the homotrimeric cloverleave-like conformation of the SUN domain is a prerequisite for LINC complex formation in which three separate SYNE2/KASH2 peptides bind at the interface of adjacent SUN domains. Interacts with EMD, LMNA, MKS3 and F-actin via its N-terminal domain. Interacts with DCTN1 and DYNC1I1/2; suggesting the association with the dynein-dynactin motor complex. Associates with kinesin motor complexes. Interacts with TMEM67. Interacts (via KASH domain) with TMEM258 (PubMed:28716842).
