ID:EMD_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Emerin; FUNCTION: Stabilizes and promotes the formation of a nuclear actin cortical network. Stimulates actin polymerization in vitro by binding and stabilizing the pointed end of growing filaments. Inhibits beta-catenin activity by preventing its accumulation in the nucleus. Acts by influencing the nuclear accumulation of beta- catenin through a CRM1-dependent export pathway. Links centrosomes to the nuclear envelope via a microtubule association. EMD and BAF are cooperative cofactors of HIV-1 infection. Association of EMD with the viral DNA requires the presence of BAF and viral integrase. The association of viral DNA with chromatin requires the presence of BAF and EMD. Required for proper localization of non-farnesylated prelamin-A/C. SUBUNIT: Interacts with lamins A and C, BANF1, GMCL, BCLAF1 and YTHDC1/YT521. Interacts with TMEM43; the interaction retains emerin in the nuclear inner membrane. Interacts with SUN1 and SUN2 (By similarity). Interacts with ACTB, SPTAN1, F-actin, CTNNB1 and beta-tubulin. INTERACTION: Q9NYF8:BCLAF1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-489887, EBI-437804; Q99962:SH3GL2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-489887, EBI-77938; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Nucleoplasmic side. Nucleus outer membrane. Note=Colocalized with BANF1 at the central region of the assembling nuclear rim, near spindle-attachment sites. The accumulation of different intermediates of prelamin-A/C (non- farnesylated or carboxymethylated farnesylated prelamin-A/C) in fibroblasts modify its localization in the nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Skeletal muscle, heart, colon, testis, ovary and pancreas. PTM: Found in four different phosphorylated forms, three of which appear to be associated with the cell cycle. DISEASE: Defects in EMD are the cause of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 1 (EDMD1) [MIM:310300]. A degenerative myopathy characterized by weakness and atrophy of muscle without involvement of the nervous system, early contractures of the elbows Achilles tendons and spine, and cardiomyopathy associated with cardiac conduction defects. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 LEM domain.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
