Product Specs

Introduction
Lamin-A, a major component of the nuclear lamina, is encoded by the lamin A/C gene (LMNA). The nuclear lamina is a dynamic meshwork situated beneath the nuclear envelope. Synthesized as Prelamin A, Lamin-A undergoes a series of post-translational modifications in vivo, resulting in mature Lamin A. Mutations in the Lamin A/C gene are linked to various diseases collectively known as laminopathies. These include Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

Lamin A/C belongs to the lamin family of proteins, which are intermediate filament proteins. These proteins are highly conserved across species, indicating their fundamental role in cellular biology . Lamin A and Lamin C are produced from the same gene (LMNA) through alternative splicing. They share a common structure, including a central rod domain flanked by a head and a tail domain .

During mitosis, the nuclear lamina disassembles as lamin proteins are phosphorylated. This disassembly is crucial for the breakdown of the nuclear envelope, allowing chromosome segregation . Lamin A/C is also involved in maintaining nuclear stability and regulating gene expression .

Role in Apoptosis

Lamin A/C is cleaved by caspase-6 during apoptosis, serving as a marker for caspase-6 activation . The cleavage results in nuclear dysregulation and cell death . This process highlights the role of Lamin A/C in programmed cell death and its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Phosphorylation and Cell Cycle

Phosphorylation of Lamin A/C at specific sites, such as Ser22, has been identified in vivo in several cell lines . This phosphorylation is part of a typical MAPK/CDK phosphorylation motif, implicating a role in the cell cycle and mitosis . The phosphorylation state of Lamin A/C can influence its function and interactions with other nuclear components.

Recombinant Lamin A/C

Recombinant Lamin A/C proteins, such as those derived from rats, are used in various research applications. These recombinant proteins are valuable tools for studying the structure and function of Lamin A/C in different cellular contexts. They are also used in assays to investigate the role of Lamin A/C in diseases and to develop potential therapeutic interventions.
