Cleavage Site Specificity for Processing of Farnesylated Prelamin A by the Zinc Metalloprotease ZMPSTE24
2020-08-17
Abstract excerpt
The integral membrane zinc metalloprotease ZMPSTE24 is important for human health and longevity. ZMPSTE24 performs a key proteolytic step in maturation of prelamin A, the precursor of the nuclear scaffold protein lamin A. Mutations in the genes encoding either prelamin A or ZMPSTE24 that prevent cleavage cause the premature aging disease Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and related progeroid disorders....
