lamin-A

Function: - lamins are components of the nuclear lamina (see lamin) - lamin A & lamin C filaments cross-link into an orthogonal lattice (nuclear lamina), which is attached via lamin B to the inner nuclear membrane through interactions with a lamin B receptor - increased phosphorylation of the lamins occurs before nuclear envelope disintegration & probably plays a role in regulating lamin associations - the C-terminal 18 residues are removed by proteolytic cleavage of lamin A; cleavage requires prior farnesylation - proteolytically processed Lamin A interacts with NARF Structure: - belongs to the intermediate filament family - a 2-3 kD fragment is cleaved from the C-terminus - farnesylated Compartment: - nuclear lamina Pathology: - truncation of Lamin A associated with: [3] Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome - unprocessed prelamin A & truncated lamin A act dominant negatively to perturb cell cycle checkpoint control, DNA damage response & DNA repair, resulting in genomic instability [3]
