Consequences of Lmna Exon 4 Mutations in Myoblast Function
Laminopathies are causally associated with mutations on the Lamin A/C gene (LMNA). To date, more than 400 mutations in LMNA have been reported in patients.

Dialing Down SUN1 for Laminopathies [PDF]
Laminopathies, caused by mutations in A-type nuclear lamins, encompass a range of diseases, including forms of progeria and muscular dystrophy. In this issue, Chen et al. provide evidence that elevated expression of the nuclear inner membrane protein SUN1 drives pathology in multiple laminopathies.

Genomic instability in laminopathy-based premature aging
Premature aging syndromes often result from mutations in nuclear proteins involved in the maintenance of genomic integrity. Lamin A is a major component of the nuclear lamina and nuclear skeleton. Truncation in lamin A causes Hutchinson-Gilford progerial

Nuclear lamins and laminopathies [PDF]
AbstractNuclear lamins are intermediate filament proteins that polymerize to form the nuclear lamina on the inner aspect of the inner nuclear membrane. Long known to be essential for maintaining nuclear structure and disassembling/reassembling during mitosis in metazoans, research over the past dozen years has shown that mutations in genes encoding ...

Prelamin A undergoes multistep processing to yield lamin A, a structural protein of the nuclear lamina. Prelamin A terminates with a CAAX motif, which triggers farnesylation of a C-terminal cysteine (the C of the CAAX motif), endoproteolytic release of ...

Structural and Mechanical Aberrations of the Nuclear Lamina in Disease
The nuclear lamins are the major components of the nuclear lamina in the nuclear envelope. Lamins are involved in numerous functions, including a role in providing structural support to the cell and the mechanosensing of the cell.

Soft substrates normalize nuclear morphology and prevent nuclear rupture in fibroblasts from a laminopathy patient with compound heterozygous LMNA mutations [PDF]
Laminopathies, mainly caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, are a group of inherited diseases with a highly variable penetrance; i.e., the disease spectrum in persons with identical LMNA mutations range from symptom-free conditions to severe ...
