Recombinant Human CAAX prenyl protease 1 homolog (ZMPSTE24)

1. ZMPSTE24-dependent cleavage of prelamin A and the eight known disease-associated ZMPSTE24 missense mutations, were examined. PMID: 29794150
2. ZMPSTE24 is a downstream effector of IFITM3 and is important for interferon-induced transmembrane antiviral activity. PMID: 28594571
3. ZMPSTE24 is an important element for innate host defense against a broad spectrum of pathogenic viruses. PMID: 28246125
4. This case demonstrates that accumulation of prelamin A, independent of the loss of function of ZMPSTE24 metallopeptidase that catalyzes processing of prelamin A, can cause a progeroid disorder and that a cell biology assay could be used in precision medicine to identify a potential therapy. PMID: 27034136
5. used a fluorogenic assay of the activity of purified ZMPSTE24 to demonstrate that HIV protease inhibitors directly inhibit the human enzyme in a manner indicative of a competitive mechanism PMID: 27774687
6. the present study suggests that inhibition of ZMPSTE24 by both mutational and expressional pathways might together play a role in tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer and gastric cancer harboring microsatellite instability phenotype. PMID: 27729169
7. results establish that the substrate profile of Ste24p is broader than anticipated, being more similar to that of the M16A protease family than that of the Rce1p CAAX protease with which it has been functionally associated PMID: 27129777
8. ZMPSTE24 downregulation is a major contributor in VSMC dysfunctions resulting from LMNA mutations or PI treatments that could translate in early atherosclerosis at the clinical level. PMID: 26724531
9. Here, we report on a familial c.50delA (p.Lys17Serfs*21) mutation of the ZMPSTE24 gene, causing RD in two siblings. PMID: 26379196
10. complete loss-of-function of ZMPSTE24 leads to RD, whereas other less severe phenotypes are associated with at least one haploinsufficient allele. PMID: 24169522
11. miR-141-3p, which is overexpressed during senescence as a result of epigenetic regulation, is able to decrease ZMPSTE24 expression levels, and leads to an upregulation of prelamin A in human mesenchymal stem cells. PMID: 24101728
12. These data implicate copper as an important factor in promoting prostate cancer cell invasion and indicate that the selective posttranslational activation of ZMP-mediated protein shedding might play a role in this process. PMID: 22936788
13. Laminopathy-associated mutations predicted to reduce ZMPSTE24 activity map to the zinc metalloprotease peptide-binding site and to the bottom of the chamber. PMID: 23539603
14. Characterization of disease causing mutations in the ZMPSTE24 gene, residual proteolytic activity correlates with disease severity. PMID: 22718200
15. A report of a novel and a previously reported homozygous null mutation in ZMPSTE24 in two newborns with restrictive dermopathy. PMID: 21108632
16. Three of 87 patients with metabolic syndrome carry a heterozygous mutation in LMNA or in ZMPSTE24. PMID: 21724554
17. In patients with mandibuloacral dysplasia due to ZMPSTE24 mutations, the onset of disease manifestations such as thin skin and micrognathia occurs as early as 5 months of age. PMID: 20814950
18. Data show that mandibuloacral dysplasia associated with ZMPSTE24 mutations has a more severe phenotype than that associated with lamin A mutations. PMID: 20550970
19. ZMPSTE24 mutations are associated with dermopathy. PMID: 20635340
20. study reports on two brothers affected with restrictive dermopathy; compound heterozygous frameshifting mutations were identified in exon 1 (c.50delA) and exon 5 (c.584_585delAT) of the ZMPSTE24 gene PMID: 20101687
21. results suggest that LMNA, ZMPSTE24, and LBR sequence variations are not major genetic determinants involved in scleroderma pathogenesis PMID: 19645629
22. A premature termination codon mutation in the gene ZMPSTE24 leads to loss of expression of Lamin A as well as abnormal patterns of nuclear sizes and shapes. PMID: 15317753
23. RNA interference of FACE1 protease results in a halt of cell division and accumulation of prelamin A. PMID: 15671064
24. loss causes autosomal recessive restrictive dermopathy PMID: 15843403
25. Restrictive dermopathy is an autosomal recessive laminopathy caused by inactivating ZMPSTE24 mutations that result in defective processing and nuclear accumulation of prelamin A. PMID: 16297189
26. Accumulation of multiple forms of lamin A with down-regulation of FACE-1 suppresses growth in senescent cells. PMID: 17352743
27. darunavir does not inhibit the biochemical activity of ZMPSTE24, nor does it lead to an accumulation of farnesyl-prelamin A in cells. PMID: 18230615
28. ZMPSTE24 deficiency results in accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A, which may be responsible for cellular toxicity and the MAD phenotype. PMID: 18435794
29. inhibition of the prelamin A endoprotease ZMPSTE24 mostly elicits accumulation of full-length prelamin A in its farnesylated form, while loss of the prelamin A cleavage site causes accumulation of carboxymethylated prelamin A in progeria cells. PMID: 19351612
30. glu231X mutation of ZMPSTE24 found in unrelated families with diagnosis of restrictive dermopathy and perhaps specific to India PMID: 19383993
31. ZMPSTE24 performs a critical endoproteolytic cleavage step that removes the hydrophobic farnesyl-modified tail of prelamin A. we discuss the discovery of mammalian ZMPSTE24 & review the unexpected connection between ZMPSTE24 and premature aging[review] PMID: 19453269
