Abstract excerpt
Nuclear lamins provide structural integrity to the nuclear envelope through coiled-coil dimer meshworks. Lamin A contains a C-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain and a cysteine-rich unstructured tail, whereas lamin C lacks the latter, retaining only 1 cysteine within the Ig-like domain. Mutations R435C and R471C in the Ig-like domain are linked to progeroid syndromes, fatal disorders characterized by...
