| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although the stability of nuclear membrane is correlated with the cellular aging process, the molecular mechanism is still unknown. In this study, the relationship between cellular metabolism and the nuclear membrane abnormality was investigated. When expressed in cell, the progerin protein, the dominant negative mutant of lamin A, did not influence a major energy-generating metabolism including glycolysis and TCA cycle. Rather, the the protein increased the quantity of N-formylmethionine, which resides in mitochondria and play roles in translation process. These results raise the possibility of previously undescribed crosstalk between nuclear stability and mitochondrial physiology.
