In human, synonymous nucleotide change results in use of an upstream cryptic splice, producing a transcript with a 150-nt deletion within the coding region.
Expression of Hsap\LMNAprogerin.Scer\UAS.A under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU results in lethality during the larval-pupal transition.
Considerable nuclear breakdown is seen in central nervous system and salivary gland cells in larvae expressing Hsap\LMNAprogerin.Scer\UAS.A under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU. Herniations and invaginations are seen at the nuclear periphery and severe fragmentation of the nuclei is seen. The defects are more pronounced in the salivary gland cells than in the central nervous system.
Expression of Hsap\LMNAprogerin.Scer\UAS.A under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR during the adult stage (using the presence of RU286 to control the timing of expression) results in a 71% decrease in median lifespan compared to controls.
