Abstract excerpt
Lamins are nuclear intermediate filaments that, together with lamin-associated proteins, maintain nuclear shape and provide a structural support for chromosomes and replicating DNA. We have determined the solution structure of the human lamin A/C C-terminal globular domain which contains specific mutations causing four different heritable diseases. This domain encompasses residues 430-545 and adopts an Ig-like...
