Abstract:Anomalies in nuclear morphology have been linked to aging-related diseases and malignant transformation, although the mechanism responsible for this connection remains unclear. By expressing dominant-negative TER94 (TER94K2A) mutants in Drosophila photoreceptors, we show disruption of VCP (valosin-containing protein, TER94 ortholog in human), an AAA (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) ATPase essential for ubiquitin-dependent segregation or degradation of proteins, causes an age-dependent nucle… Show more
