<i>ZMPSTE24</i> Missense Mutations that Cause Progeroid Diseases Decrease Prelamin A Cleavage Activity and/or Protein Stability
2017-10-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The human zinc metalloprotease ZMPSTE24 is an integral membrane protein critical for the final step in the biogenesis of the nuclear scaffold protein lamin A, encoded by LMNA . After farnesylation and carboxyl methylation of its C-terminal CAAX motif, the lamin A precursor, prelamin A, undergoes proteolytic removal of its modified C-terminal 15 amino acids by ZMPSTE24. Mutations in LMNA or ZM...
