    text integral membrane zinc metalloprotease (Barrowman (2009)
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the proteolytic processing of farnesylated proteins
  • catalyzing the first step of the proteolytic processing of farnesylated proteins, including Ras, and also involved in NH2 terminal processing
  • endoprotease essential for the post-translational cleavage of the Lamin A precursor and the production of mature LMNA
  • key protease involved in human progeroid disorder (Barrowman 2009)
  • performs a critical endoproteolytic cleavage step that removes the hydrophobic farnesyl-modified tail of prelamin A (Barrowman 2009)

    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • prelamin A : cleavage of C terminal AAX tripeptide (AA 662 to 664) of farnesylated prelamin A, methylation of the prenylated cystein and cleavage of the last 15 AA (647 to 661) to form mature lamin A
  • only one identified mammalian substrate, the precursor of the nuclear scaffold protein lamin A (Barrowman 2009)
