Abstract

Lamins are key structural components of the nuclear lamina, an intermediate filament meshwork that lies beneath the inner nuclear membrane. Lamins play a role in nuclear architecture, DNA replication, and gene expression. Mutations affecting A-type lamins have been associated with a variety of human diseases, including muscular dystrophy, cardiomyopathy, lipodystrophy, and progeria, but mutations in B-type lamins have never been identified in humans or in experimental animals. To investigate the in vivo function of lamin B1, the major B-type lamin, we generated mice with an insertional mutation in Lmnb1. The mutation resulted in the synthesis of a mutant lamin B1 protein lacking several key functional domains, including a portion of the rod domain, the nuclear localization signal, and the CAAX motif (the carboxyl-terminal signal for farnesylation). Homozygous Lmnb1 mutant mice survived embryonic development but died at birth with defects in lung and bone. Fibroblasts from mutant embryos grew under standard cell-culture conditions but displayed grossly misshapen nuclei, impaired differentiation, increased polyploidy, and premature senescence. Thus, the lamin B1 mutant mice provide evidence for a broad and nonredundant function o...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
