The Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy phenotype arises from aberrant targeting and binding of emerin at the inner nuclear membrane.

Abstract excerpt

The product of the X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy gene is a single-membrane-spanning protein called emerin, which is localized to the inner nuclear membrane of all tissues studied. To examine whether a number of the mutant forms of emerin expressed in patients are mislocalized, we transfected GFP-emerin cDNA constructs reflecting these mutations into undifferentiated C2C12 myoblasts and showed that...
