Structural and physiological phenotypes of disease-linked lamin mutations in C. elegans.

Abstract excerpt

The nuclear lamina is a major structural element of the nucleus and is predominately composed of the intermediate filament lamin proteins. Missense mutations in the human lamins A/C cause a family of laminopathic diseases, with no known mechanistic link between the position of the mutation and the resulting disease phenotypes. The Caenorhabditis elegans lamin (Ce-lamin) is structurally and functionally homologous...
