Loss of a DNA binding site within the tail of prelamin A contributes to altered heterochromatin anchorage by progerin

Abstract: a b s t r a c tMutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene that cause Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) lead to expression of a protein called progerin with 50 amino acids deleted from the tail of prelamin A. In cells from patients with HGPS, both the amount and distribution of heterochromatin are altered. We designed in vitro assays to ask whether such alterations might reflect changes in chromatin, DNA and/or histone binding properties of progerin compared to wild-type lamin C-terminal tails. We show th… Show more

“…Several groups have shown that A-type and B-type lamins form distinct but connected networks [24,3335]. These different subdomains of the lamina have specific roles in nuclear structure, anchorage of partners, binding to chromatin, chromatin organization and gene regulation [36,37]. Our findings complement these previous studies by illustrating the specificity of functions played by Atype and B-type lamins.…”

“…In fact, modulation of chromatin remodelling by prelamin A could be a fine tool to modify expression of large groups of genes, as occurs during development, cell differentiation or aging. This hypothesis is strongly supported by data obtained in the study of syndromic laminopathies and lipodystrophies, which are characterized by prelamin A accumulation [18,[40][41][42].…”

“…Receptor for Wnt7 Frizzled7 (Fzd7) is expressed in hypaxial part of the somite while Fzd1 and Fzd6 (receptors for Wnt1/6) are expressed in epaxial domain. Wnt1 in epaxial domain acts through canonical pathway which leads to expression of Myf5 while Wnt7 (Fzd7) signaling induces MyoD expression through PKC pathway [34]. Thus the differentiation of muscle progenitor cells in hypaxial domain and epaxial domain is regulated diifferently, via different muscle-specific transcription factors.…”
