The zinc metalloprotease ZMPSTE24 is an integral membrane protein critical for the biogenesis of the nuclear scaffold protein lamin A (encoded by theLMNAgene). Lamin A is synthesized as a precursor, prelamin A, that undergoes posttranslational modification of its C-terminal CAAX motif, including farnesylation and carboxyl methylation, followed by proteolytic removal of the modified C-terminal 15 amino acids by ZMPSTE24. Mutations inLMNAorZMPSTE24that impede prelamin A cleavage cause a spectrum of related progeroid diseases, including the premature aging disorder Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), mandibuloacral dysplasia type B (MAD-B), and restrictive dermopathy (RD), due to the accumulation of a permanently farnesylated form(s) of prelamin A. Here, we have developed anin vivoassay to examine the ZMPSTE24-dependent cleavage of prelamin A in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae, an organism that lacks a nuclear lamina. We demonstrate that prelamin A processing has the same requirements in yeast as in mammalian cells, including farnesylation of the CAAX motif cysteine, an intact substrate cleavage site, and ZMPSTE24 enzymatic activity. Using this “ humanized yeast” system to examine the eight known disease-associatedZMPSTE24missense mutations, all show diminished prelamin A processing and fall into three classes, with defects in activity (Class I), stability (Class II), or both (Class III). Class II ZMPSTE24 mutants can be rescued by deleting the E3 ubiquitin ligase Doa10, a key factor in ER-associated protein degradation of many misfolded membrane proteins, which may have therapeutic implications. We also show that ZMPSTE24-mediated prelamin A cleavage can be uncoupled from the recently discovered role of ZMPSTE24 in the clearance of ER membrane translocon-clogged substrates. Together with the crystal structure of ZMPSTE24, our “ humanized yeast system” can guide structure-function studies to uncover the mechanisms of prelamin A cleavage, translocon unclogging, and membrane protein folding and stability.
