Emerin

Emerin, together with MAN1, is a LEM domain-containing integral membrane protein of the nuclear membrane in vertebrates. The function of MAN1 is not extensively known, but emerin is known to interact with nuclear lamins, barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), nesprin-1alpha , and a transcription repressor.

PBB_Summary
section_title =
summary_text = Emerin is a serine-rich nuclear membrane protein and a member of the nuclear lamina-associated protein family. It mediates membrane anchorage to the cytoskeleton. Dreifuss-Emery muscular dystrophy is an X-linked inherited degenerative myopathy resulting from mutation in the emerin gene.cite web | title = Entrez Gene: EMD emerin (Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy)| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=2010| accessdate = ]

Clinical significance

Mutations in emerin cause X-linked recessive Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Moreover, recent research have found that the absence of functional emerin may decrease the infectivity of HIV-1. Thus, it is speculated that patients suffering from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy may have immunity to or show an irregular infection pattern to HIV-1 [Jacque JM, Stevenson M.: "The inner-nuclear-envelope protein emerin regulates HIV-1 infectivity.", "Nature.", 2006 Jun 1;441(7093):581-2.] .
