Effect of pathogenic mis-sense mutations in lamin A on its interaction with emerin in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in lamin A/C can cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) or a related cardiomyopathy (CMD1A). Using transfection of lamin-A/C-deficient fibroblasts, we have studied the effects of nine pathogenic mutations on the ability of lamin A to assemble normally and to localize emerin normally at the nuclear rim. Five mutations in the rod domain (L85R, N195K, E358K, M371K and R386K) affected the assembly...
