Genes with mechanisms that we do not understand in relation to ADHD

2.24. CFTR, gene of the ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor, CNFTR (chromosome 9p13.3)

Other names: CF Transmembrane Conductance Regulator; DJ760C5.1; TNR-CFTR; CFTR/MRP; ABC35; ABCC7; MRP7; Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator; Channel Conductance-Controlling ATPase; CAMP-Dependent Chloride Channel; CF; Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator, ATP-Binding Cassette (Sub-Family C, Member 7); Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (ATP-Binding Cassette Sub-Family C, Member 7); Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulating; ATP-Binding Cassette Sub-Family C, Member 7; ATP-Binding Cassette Sub-Family C Member 7; EC 3.6.3.49; EC 5.6.1.6; EC 3.6.3

The protein CFTR encodes a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) superfamily. CFTR functions as a chloride channel, making it unique among members of this protein family, and controls the secretion and absorption of ions and water in epithelial tissues. Channel activation is mediated by cycles of regulatory domain phosphorylation, ATP binding by the nucleotide-binding domains and ATP hydrolysis. The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) is a protein that is fixed on the surface of cells, a so-called chloride channel. Mutations in the CFTR gene in humans lead to the absence or impaired function of the channel, which can cause cystic fibrosis and congenital aplasia of the vas deferens (CAVD).CFTR is therefore an epithelial ion channel that plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial ion and water transport, fluid homeostasis (including the respiratory tract). CFTR mediates the transport of chloride ions across the cell membrane. Chloride channels are a family of anion-selective channels involved in a variety of biological processes, including regulation of neuronal, skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle excitability, regulation of cell volume, transepithelial salt transport and acidification of intracellular and extracellular compartments. CFTR channel activity is coupled to ATP hydrolysis. The ion channel is also permeable to HCO(3)(-); the selectivity depends on the extracellular chloride concentration. CFTR also exerts its function by modulating the activity of other ion channels and transporters. CFTR contributes to the regulation of the pH and ionic content of the surface fluid layer of the airways and thus plays an important role in the defense against pathogens. CFTR modulates the activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) complex, in part by regulating the cell surface expression of the ENaC complex. CFTR inhibits the activity of the ENaC channel containing the subunits SCNN1A, SCNN1B and SCNN1G, as well as the activity of the ENaC channel containing the subunits SCNN1D, SCNN1B and SCNN1G, but not the ENaC channel containing the subunits SCNN1A, SCNN1B and SCNN1G. CFTR can regulate bicarbonate secretion and recycling in epithelial cells by regulating the transporter SLC4A7. CFTR can inhibit the chloride channel activity of ANO1. CFTR plays a role in chloride and bicarbonate homeostasis during epididymal maturation and capacitation of spermatozoa.1
CFTR is associated with

  • Cystic fibrosis
    • Cystic fibrosis correlates with increased L-dopa levels in blood and urine.2 This is an indication of a link between cystic fibrosis and the dopamine balance. However, cystic fibrosis can have various genetic (co-)causes, so that a conclusion about CFTR is not necessarily given.
  • Congenital bilateral aplasia of the vas deferens
  • Cystic fibrosis
    • Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic Disorder in populations of Northern European descent.
    • The most common mutation in cystic fibrosis, DeltaF508, leads to impaired folding and transport of the encoded protein. Several pseudogenes have been identified in the human genome.

2.48. FADS2, FATTY ACID DESATURASE 2 (chromosome 11q12.2)

Other names: D6D; SLL0262; FADSD6; TU13; DES6; Acyl-CoA 6-Desaturase; Delta-6-Desaturase; LLCDL2; Linoleoyl-CoA Desaturase (Delta-6-Desaturase)-Like 2; Delta(6) Fatty Acid Desaturase; Delta-6 Fatty Acid Desaturase; Delta(6) Desaturase; Delta-6 Desaturase; EC 1.14.19.3; EC 1.14.19

The enzyme FADS2 removes two hydrogen atoms from a fatty acid, creating a carbon-carbon double bond.
FADS2 belongs to the family of fatty acid desaturase (FADS) genes. Desaturase enzymes regulate the unsaturation of fatty acids by introducing double bonds between certain carbons of the fatty acyl chain. FADS family members are considered fusion products consisting of an N-terminal cytochrome b5-like domain and a C-terminal membrane-spanning desaturase portion, both characterized by conserved histidine motifs. This gene is clustered with family members on 11q12-q13.1; due to the similar exon/intron organization, this cluster is thought to have arisen evolutionarily through gene duplication. FADS2 is involved in the biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) from the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) linoleic acid (LA) (18:2n-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) (18:3n-3), acting as a fatty acid acyl coenzyme A (CoA) desaturase that introduces a cis-double bond at carbon 6 of the fatty acyl chain. FADS2 catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in this metabolic pathway, namely the desaturation of LA (18:2n-6) and ALA (18:3n-3) to gamma-linolate (GLA) (18:3n-6) and stearidonate (18:4n-3), respectively (PubMed:12713571). Subsequently, FADS2 desaturates tetracosapentaenoate (24:5n-3) to tetracosahexaenoate (24:6n-3) in the biosynthetic pathway of the n-3 HUFA series, which is then converted to docosahexaenoate (DHA) (22:6n-3), an important lipid for the function of the nervous system. FADS2 desaturates hexadecanate (palmitate) to generate 6Z-hexadecenoate (sapienate), a fatty acid that is unique to humans and is the main component of human sebum. It is associated with the development of acne and may have a strong antibacterial effect. FADS2 can desaturate (11E)-octadecenoate (trans-vaccenoate, the predominant trans fatty acid in human milk) at carbon 6, resulting in (6Z,11E)-octadecadienoate. In addition to delta-6 activity, FADS2 exhibits delta-8 activity with a slight propensity for n-3 fatty acyl-CoA substrates.6
FADS2 is associated with:

  • Fetal Akinesia Deformation Sequence 4
  • Hyperlipoproteinemia, type V

Related metabolic and signaling pathways:

  • Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
  • Arachidonate biosynthesis III (6-desaturase, mammals)
  • Iron ion binding
  • Oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors, whereby the oxidation of a donor pair leads to the reduction of molecular oxygen to two water molecules

Paralog: FADS3

OMIM: FATTY ACID DESATURASE 2; FADS2

The FADS2 gene was identified as a candidate gene for ADHD in a 2006 study with p = 0.039.7

2.52. MTA3, METASTASIS-ASSOCIATED GENE 3 (chromosome 2)

Other names: Metastasis Associated 1 Family Member 3; KIAA1266; Metastasis Associated Gene Family, Member 3; Metastasis-Associated Protein MTA3

The protein MTA3 appears to be associated with the cell cycle.
MTA3 is thought to activate histone deacetylase binding activity, transcriptional coactivator activity and transcriptional corepressor activity. MTA3 is involved in the negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. MTA3 is found in the nucleoplasm and is part of the NuRD complex. MTA3 plays a role in the maintenance of normal epithelial architecture by repressing SNAI1 transcription in a histone deacetylase-dependent manner, thereby regulating E-cadherin levels. MTA3 contributes to transcriptional repression by BCL6.8
MTA3 is associated with

  • Pyloric stenosis
    • Narrowing of the gastric outlet
  • Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
    • massive ageing process (progeria) of the skin, skeleton and blood vessels, which begins in early childhood

Related metabolic pathways:

    p: 1.67E-06
    Associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity

2.68. FHIT, FRAGILE HISTIDINE TRIAD GENE (chromosome 3p14.2)

Other names: Fragile Histidine Triad Diadenosine Triphosphatase; AP3Aase; Bis(5’-Adenosyl)-Triphosphatase; FRA3B; Diadenosine 5’,5’’’-P1,P3-Triphosphate Hydrolase; Adenylylsulfate-Ammonia Adenylyltransferase; Adenosine 5’-monophosphoramidase FHIT; Dinucleosidetriphosphatase; Adenylylsulfatase; AP3A Hydrolase; Fragile Histidine Triad Protein; Fragile Histidine Triad Gene; Fragile Histidine Triad; EC 3.6.1.29; EC 2.7.7.51; EC 3.9.1.-; EC 3.6.2.1

The FHIT protein is a P1-P3-bis(5’-adenosyl)-triphosphate hydrolase that is involved in purine metabolism.
Aberrant transcripts of this gene were found in around half of all oesophageal, gastric and colon cancers. FHIT acts as a tumor suppressor, also synergistically with the tumor suppressor VHL, and protects against chemically induced lung cancer and HER2/neu-induced breast cancer. This gene encompasses the common fragile site FRA3B on chromosome 3, where carcinogen-induced damage can lead to translocations and aberrant transcripts. In fact, aberrant transcripts of this gene have been found in about half of all esophageal, gastric and colon cancers. FHIT has dinucleoside triphosphate hydrolase activity. FHIT cleaves P(1)-P(3)-bis(5’-adenosyl)-triphosphate (Ap3A) to AMP and ADP. FHIT can hydrolyze P(1)-P(4)-bis(5’-adenosyl) tetraphosphate (Ap4A), but has extremely low activity with ATP. FHIT exhibits adenylyl sulfatase activity and hydrolyzes adenosine 5’-phosphosulfate to yield AMP and sulfate. FHIT exhibits adenosine 5’-monophosphoramidase activity, hydrolyzes purine nucleotide phosphoramidates with a single phosphate group such as adenosine 5’-monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH2) to yield AMP and NH2. FHIT displays adenylyl sulfate ammonia adenylyltransferase, which catalyzes the ammonolysis of adenosine 5’-phosphosulfate, resulting in the formation of adenosine 5’-phosphoramidate. FHIT catalyzes the ammonolysis of adenosine 5’-phosphorfluoridate and diadenosine triphosphate. FHIT modulates transcriptional activation by CTNNB1 and thereby contributes to the regulation of expression of genes important for cell proliferation and survival, such as CCND1 and BIRC5. FHIT plays a role in the induction of apoptosis via SRC and AKT1 signaling pathways. FHIT inhibits MDM2-mediated proteasomal degradation of p53/TP53 and thereby plays a role in p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis. Induction of apoptosis depends on the ability of FHIT to bind P(1)-P(3)-bis(5’-adenosyl) triphosphate or related compounds, but does not require its catalytic activity. It may derive in part from the mitochondrial form, which sensitizes low-affinity Ca(2+) transporters and promotes mitochondrial calcium uptake. FHIT acts as a tumor suppressor.10
FHIT is associated with

  • Renal cell carcinoma, non-papillary
  • sporadic breast cancer

Related signal paths:

  • Endometrial cancer
  • small cell lung cancer

2.88. B4GALT2, UDP-GAL:BETA-GlcNAc BETA-1,4-GALACTOSYLTRANSFERASE, POLYPEPTIDE 2

The B4GALT2 protein is one of seven beta-1,4-galactosyltransferases (beta4GalT). These are membrane-bound type II glycoproteins that appear to be specific exclusively for the donor substrate UDP-galactose. All of them transfer galactose in a beta1,4-bond to similar acceptor sugars: GlcNAc, Glc, and Xyl.
B4GalT2 serves

  • Metabolism and transport to the Golgi and subsequent modification.
  • Galactosyltransferase activity
  • Synthesis of complex N-linked oligosaccharides in many glycoproteins and the carbohydrate components of glycolipids
  • N-acetyllactosamine synthase activity
    Its substrate specificity is influenced by alpha-lactalbumin, but it is not expressed in lactating breast tissue.

Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms were found for this gene.

This gene was identified as an ADHD candidate gene in a large GWAS.19

2.92. TRIO, Trio Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor

Other names: ARHGEF23; Triple Functional Domain (PTPRF Interacting); Triple Functional Domain Protein; PTPRF-Interacting Protein; EC 2.7.11.1; MEBAS; RD44; MRD63; Tgat; TRIPLE FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN

Some isoforms of Kalirin and Trio are colocalized in neuroendocrine cells of mice and rats with immature secretory granules and modulate their cargo secretion.
Overexpression of their N-terminal GEF domains enhanced secretion from the immature granules so that the cells lost their secretory cargo in the absence of the secretagogue (the agent that caused their secretion). This response required GEF activity and was mimicked by the calirin/trio substrates Rac1 and RhoG. Selective pharmacologic inhibition of endogenous GEF activity reduced secretagogue-independent release of hormone precursors and led to accumulation of the product peptide in mature secretory granules. Modulation of cargo secretion from immature granules by calirin/TRIO provides secretory cells with additional control over the amounts of peptide released and expands the range of physiological responses that can be triggered. .
TRIO (amino acids 1227-1407) catalyzes the nucleotide exchange for Rac1. The all-alpha-helical protein has a very different structure to other exchange factors. Based on site-directed mutagenesis, the authors identified functionally important residues of the DH domain. They are all highly conserved and located in close proximity on 2 alpha helices. In addition, Liu et al. (1998) discovered a unique ability of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to enhance nucleotide exchange in DH domain-containing proteins.20

OMIM: TRIO, TRIPLE FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN

In TRIO, a study found a change in expression in ADHD.18

2.94. SYNE1, SPECTRIN REPEAT-CONTAINING NUCLEAR ENVELOPE PROTEIN 1

Other names: Nesprin-1; Enaptin; MYNE1; Myocyte Nuclear Envelope Protein 1; KIAA0796; DJ45H2; C6orf98; SCAR8; ARCA1; Nesp1; CPG2; 8B; Spectrin Repeat Containing, Nuclear Envelope 1; Synaptic Nuclear Envelope Protein 1; KASH Domain-Containing Protein 1; SYNE-1B; KASH1; Nuclear Envelope Spectrin Repeat Protein 1; Nuclear Envelope Spectrin Repeat-1; Chromosome 6 Open Reading Frame 98; Synaptic Nuclei Expressed Gene 1; CPG2 Full Length; EC 4.2.1.49; EC 4.3.1.3; Nesprin 1; KIAA1262; KIAA1756; Myne-1; Syne-1; EDMD4; AMC3; AMCM

SYNE1 is one of the largest genes in the human genome and is therefore particularly susceptible to mutations or genetic defects. Its longest isoform comprises 146 exons, which code for the synaptic nuclear envelope protein 1 with 8797 amino acids. Synaptic nuclear envelope protein 1 (Nesprin 1, nuclear envelope spectrin 1) belongs to the spectrin family of structural proteins whose common function is to connect the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton. SYNE1 encodes a protein that is important for the maintenance of the cerebellum - the part of the brain that coordinates complex body movements. Truncated recessive mutations in SYNE1 result in a slowly progressive, relatively pure cerebellar ataxia with few extra-cerebellar symptoms (spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 8; SCAR8/autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1, ARCA1)22

SYNE1 is a spectrin repeat-containing protein that is expressed in skeletal and smooth muscle and peripheral blood lymphocytes and is localized to the nuclear membrane. SYNE1 forms a connecting network between organelles and the actin cytoskeleton to maintain subcellular spatial organization. As a component of the LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex, SYNE1 is involved in the connection between the nuclear lamina and the cytoskeleton. The nucleocytoplasmic interactions established by the LINC complex play an important role in the transmission of mechanical forces to the nuclear envelope and in the movement and positioning of the nucleus. SYNE1 may be involved in nuclear-centrosome attachment and nuclear migration in neural precursors, implying an association of the LINC complex with SUN1/2 and probably an association with cytoplasmic dynein-dynactin motor complexes. SYNE1 and SYNE2 may act redundantly. SYNE1 is required for centrosome migration to the apical cell surface during early ciliogenesis. SYNE1 may be involved in nuclear remodeling during sperm head formation in spermatogenesis.23
SYNE1 is associated with

  • Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 8
    • also known as autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1 or recessive ataxia of Beauce

2.96. BMPR1B; Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-1B

Other names: CDw293; ALK6; Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor, Type IB; Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Type-1B; BMP Type-1B Receptor; EC 2.7.11.30; BMPR-1B; Serine/Threonine Receptor Kinase; Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 6; CDw293 Antigen; EC 2.7.11; ALK-6; BDA1D; AMD3; AMDD; BDA2; CDw293, Cluster of differentiation w293

BMPR1B is a member of the transmembrane serine/threonine kinase family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptors. The ligands of this receptor are BMPs of the TGF-beta superfamily. BMPs are involved in endochondral bone formation and embryogenesis. These proteins transmit their signals by forming heteromeric complexes of two different types of serine (threonine) kinase receptors: type I receptors of about 50-55 kD and type II receptors of about 70-80 kD. Type II receptors bind ligands in the absence of type I receptors, but require their respective type I receptors for signaling, while type I receptors require their respective type II receptors for ligand binding.
The BMPR1B receptor plays a role in the formation of the middle and proximal phalanges.26
BMPR1B is found in prepartilaginar compactions (in the chick embryo). BMPR1B is the most important signal transmitter in these compactions. BMPR1B transmits GDF5 more effectively than BMPR1A. While BMPR1A-KO mice die at an early embryonic stage, BMPR1B-KO mice are viable.27
BMP signaling is involved in the formation of the prebellar mossy fiber nuclei from which the cerebellar mossy fibers arise.28
BMPR1B is associated with

  • primary pulmonary hypertension
  • Brachydactyly293031
  • Breast cancer32

2.285. HAS3, Hyaluronan Synthase 3

Other names: Hyaluronic Acid Synthase 3; Hyaluronate Synthase 3; HA Synthase 3; EC 2.4.1.212

The enzyme HAS3 is involved in the synthesis of the unbranched glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan or hyaluronic acid, which is a major component of the extracellular matrix. HAS3 is one of three isoenzymes responsible for cellular hyaluronan synthesis. HAS3 catalyzes the attachment of GlcNAc or GlcUA monosaccharides to the nascent hyaluronan polymer. Hyaluronan is a major component of most extracellular matrices, plays a structural role in tissue structure and regulates cell adhesion, migration and differentiation.35
Related signal paths:

  • Glycosaminoglycan metabolism
  • Glycosaminoglycan metabolism
  • Hyaluronan synthase activity

Paralog: HAS2

Like dopamine and serotonin, hyaluronan is elevated in the blood during neonatal hyperoxia, and dopamine is also elevated in the urine. Hyperoxia increased the mRNA expression in the dorsal brainstem of HAS3 serotonin 1A receptor, dopamine D1 receptor and dopsmin D2 receptor.3637
Extracellular hyaluronate pressure, formed by cellular links, drives tissue morphogenesis.38
Extra- and intracellular hyaluronan binds to hyaluronan-binding proteins such as CD44, RHAMM, CDC37 and USP17 and thus influences cell behavior. Intracellular hyaluronan appears to have important regulatory functions during the cell cycle, cell motility, RNA translation and splicing, and autophagy.39
Oxidative stress caused by tobacco smoke leads to inflammation and the depolymerization of hyaluronan.40

One study found HAS3 to be one of the 51 most likely gene candidates for ADHD.25

2.103. ITIH3, Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy Chain 3

Other names: Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy Chain H3, H3P, Inter-Alpha (Globulin) Inhibitor, H3 Polypeptide, Pre-Alpha (Globulin) Inhibitor, H3 Polypeptide

The protein ITIH3 is a subunit of the heavy chain of the pre-alpha-trypsin inhibitor complex. By binding hyaluronic acid, this complex can stabilize the extracellular matrix. It appears to form cell-matrix glycoconjugates in response to increased platelet cytosolic Ca2+ and cell adhesion_. It is associated with serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and endopeptidase inhibitor activity.41

ITIH3 is associated with

2.113. ATP2C2, ATPase Secretory Pathway Ca2+ Transporting 2

Other names: SPCA2, KIAA0703, Secretory Pathway Ca(2+)-Transporting ATPase Type 2, ATPase, Ca++ Transporting, Type 2C, Member 2, Calcium-Transporting ATPase Type 2C Member 2

The ATP2C2 protein enables the activity of the P-type calcium transporter and the P-type manganese transporter and is thus involved in the transmembrane transport of calcium ions, in cellular calcium ion homeostasis and in manganese ion transport. ATP2C2 is an ATP-driven pump that supplies the Golgi apparatus with Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) ions, both of which are essential cofactors for the processing and transport of newly synthesized proteins in the secretory pathway. Within a catalytic cycle, ATP2C2 takes up Ca(2+) or Mn(2+) ions on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane and releases them to the lumenal side. The transfer of ions across the membrane is coupled to ATP hydrolysis and is accompanied by a transient phosphorylation that shifts the conformation of the pump from an inward-facing state to an outward-facing state ATP2C2 induces Ca(2+) influx independently of its ATP-driven pump function. ATP2C2 interacts with the Ca(2+) channel ORAI1 at the basolateral membrane of mammary epithelial cells and mediates Ca(2+) influx independent of the Ca(2+) content of the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi stores. ATP2C2 can facilitate transepithelial transport of large amounts of Ca(2+) for milk secretion by activating Ca(2+) influx channels at the plasma membrane and active Ca(2+) transport at the Golgi apparatus.47

ATP2C2 is associated with

  • specific speech disorders
    • A rare missense variant (chr16:84405221, GRCh38.p12) in the ATP2C2 gene is elevated in speech disorders. This rare variant appears to influence the ATPase activity of SPCA2.48 Another study identifies c.2465C>T49
  • Dyslexia50
    • ATP2C2 rs11860694 modulates phonological short-term memory in speech disorders51

One study found ATP2C2 to be one of the 51 most likely gene candidates for ADHD.25 Another study found it among 96 candidate genes.52 One review considers ATP2C2 to be part of a neurological network involved in the directional growth of neurites, which appears to have a strong involvement in ADHD.53

FGFR3 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family. A representative full-length protein consists of an extracellular region composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular part of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors and initiates a cascade of downstream signaling that ultimately influences mitogenesis and differentiation.
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are mitogenic signaling molecules that play a role in angiogenesis, wound healing, cell migration, neuronal growth and embryonic development. FGF receptors (FGFRs) are transmembrane catalytic receptors with intracellular tyrosine kinase activity.
FGFR3 binds acidic and basic fibroblast growth hormone and plays a role in the development and maintenance of bones.
FGFR3 is a tyrosine protein kinase that acts as a cell surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Plays an essential role in the regulation of chondrocyte differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis and is required for normal skeletal development. Regulates both osteogenesis and postnatal bone mineralization by osteoblasts. Required for normal development of the inner ear. Phosphorylates PLCG1, CBL and FRS2. Ligand binding leads to activation of multiple signaling cascades. Activation of PLCG1 leads to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Phosphorylation of FRS2 triggers the recruitment of GRB2, GAB1, PIK3R1 and SOS1 and mediates the activation of RAS, MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1 and the MAP kinase signaling pathway as well as the AKT1 signaling pathway.
Plays a role in the regulation of vitamin D metabolism.
Mutations that lead to constitutive kinase activation or impair the normal maturation, internalization and degradation of FGFR3 result in impaired signal transduction. Overexpressed or constitutively activated FGFR3 promotes the activation of PTPN11/SHP2, STAT1, STAT5A and STAT5B.

BMP2 initiates the canonical BMP signaling cascade by associating with the type I receptor BMPR1A and the type II receptor BMPR2. BMP2 can also act through non-canonical signaling pathways such as the ERK/MAP kinase signaling cascade, which regulates osteoblast differentiation. BMP2 stimulates the differentiation of myoblasts into osteoblasts via the EIF2AK3-EIF2A-ATF4 signaling pathway by stimulating EIF2A phosphorylation, which leads to increased expression of ATF4, which plays a central role in osteoblast differentiation128

The BCR protein has a unique structure with two opposing regulatory activities towards small GTP-binding proteins:

  • The C-terminus is a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) domain that stimulates GTP hydrolysis by RAC1, RAC2 and CDC42. It accelerates the intrinsic rate of GTP hydrolysis by RAC1 or CDC42, resulting in downregulation of the active GTP-bound form. The central Dbl homology (DH) domain functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that modulates the GTPases CDC42, RHOA and RAC1. BCR promotes the conversion of CDC42, RHOA and RAC1 from the GDP-bound to the GTP-bound form.
  • The amino terminus contains an intrinsic kinase activity. BCR functions as an important negative regulator of neuronal RAC1 activity, regulates macrophage functions such as CSF1-driven motility and phagocytosis by modulating RAC1 activity, plays an important role as RHOA-GEF in keratinocytes and is involved in the formation of focal adhesions and keratinocyte differentiation.

A reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 22 and 9 creates the Philadelphia chromosome, which is often found in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. The breakpoint on chromosome 22 for this translocation is located within the BCR gene. The translocation leads to the formation of a fusion protein that is encoded by sequences from both BCR and ABL, the gene at the chromosome 9 breakpoint. The unregulated tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL1 contributes to the immortality of leukemic cells. The BCR protein has serine/threonine kinase activity and is a GTPase-activating protein for p21rac and other kinases.132

TG acts as a substrate for the production of the iodinated thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The synthesis of T3 and T4 involves the iodination of selected tyrosine residues of TG/thyroglobulin, followed by their oxidative coupling in the lumen of the thyroid follicle. After reinternalization of TG and lysosomal-mediated proteolysis, T3 and T4 are released from the polypeptide scaffold, leading to their secretion into the bloodstream. One dimer produces 7 thyroid hormone molecules.148

Other names: RANBP8; RAN Binding Protein 8; Ran-Binding Protein 8; Importin-8; IMP8; Imp8; RanBP8; VISS

IPO8 is a protein. The importin-alpha/beta complex and the GTPase Ran mediate the nuclear import of proteins with a classical nuclear localization signal. IPO8 belongs to a class of about 20 potential Ran targets that share a sequence motif with the Ran binding site of importin-beta. IPO8 binds to the nuclear pore complex and, together with RanGTP and RANBP1, inhibits GAP stimulation of the Ran GTPase. IPO8 is involved in nuclear protein import, either as an autonomous nuclear transport receptor or as an adapter-like protein in conjunction with the importin-beta subunit KPNB1. IPO8 acts autonomously, can serve as a receptor for nuclear localization signals (NLS) and promotes the translocation of import substrates through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) by an energy-consuming, Ran-dependent mechanism. At the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC, Ran binds to importin, the importin/substrate complex dissociates and importin is re-exported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where GTP hydrolysis releases Ran.153

Members of the Notch family play a role in a variety of developmental processes by controlling cell fate decisions. The Notch signaling network is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway that regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells. In Drosophilia, Notch interaction with its cell-bound ligands (Delta, Serrate) establishes an intercellular signaling pathway that plays a key role in development. Homologs of Notch ligands have also been identified in humans. NOTCH2 is cleaved in the trans-Golgi network and presented as a heterodimer at the cell surface. NOTCH2 functions as a receptor for membrane-bound ligands and may play a role in vascular, kidney and liver development. NOTCH2 functions as a receptor for the membrane-bound ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1), Jagged-2 (JAG2) and Delta-1 (DLL1) and regulates cell fate determination.

The protein ACAA2 catalyzes the final step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation spiral, an aerobic process in which fatty acids are degraded to acetyl-CoA. ACAA2, using free coenzyme A/CoA, probably catalyzes the thiolytic cleavage of medium- to long-chain unbranched 3-oxoacyl-CoAs into acetyl-CoA and a fatty acyl-CoA shortened by two carbon atoms. ACAA2 probably also catalyzes the condensation of two acetyl-CoA molecules to acetoacetyl-CoA and may be involved in the production of ketone bodies. ACAA2 exhibits hydrolase activity on various fatty acyl-CoAs and may thus be responsible for the production of acetate in a side reaction to beta-oxidation. ACAA2 prevents BNIP3-mediated apoptosis and mitochondrial damage. In contrast to most mitochondrial matrix proteins, ACAA2 contains a non-cleavable amino-terminal targeting signal.163

Diphthamide is a post-translationally modified histidine residue in elongation factor 2 (EF2), which is the target of ADP-ribosylation by diphtheria toxin. DPH2 is required for the first step of diphthamide biosynthesis, a post-translational modification of histidine that occurs in elongation factor 2. DPH1 and DPH2 transfer a 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl (ACP) group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to a histidine residue. The reaction is supported by a reduction system comprising DPH3 and an NADH-dependent reductase. DPH2 facilitates the reduction of the catalytic iron-sulfur cluster in the DPH1 subunit.164

The protein MTRR is a member of the ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase (FNR) family of electron transferases. MTRR is a key enzyme of methionine and folate homeostasis, responsible for the reactivation of methionine synthase (MTR/MS) activity by catalyzing the reductive methylation of MTR-bound cob(II)alamin. Since methionine synthesis requires methyl group transfer by a folate donor, the activity of the encoded enzyme is important for folate metabolism and cellular methylation. Cobalamin (vitamin B12) forms a complex with MTR and serves as an intermediate in methyl transfer reactions that cycle between MTR-bound methylcob(III)alamin and MTR-bound cob(I)alamin forms. Occasional oxidative escape of the cob(I)alamin intermediate during the catalytic cycle presumably leads to the inactive cob(II)alamin species. Processing of cobalamin in the cytosol occurs in a multiprotein complex consisting of at least MMACHC, MMADHC, MTRR and MTR, which may contribute to the safe and efficient transport of cobalamin to MTR to produce methionine. MTRR is necessary for the utilization of methyl groups from the folate cycle, thereby influencing transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. MTRR acts as a molecular chaperone for methionine synthase by stabilizing apoMTR and incorporating methylcob(III)alamin into apoMTR to form the holoenzyme. MTRR serves as an aquacob(III)alamin reductase by reducing aquacob(III)alamin to cob(II)alamin; this reduction leads to stimulation of the conversion of apoMTR and aquacob(III)alamin to MTR holoenzyme170
Mutations in this gene can cause homocystinuria-megaloblastic anemia, type cbl E. Alternative splicing of this gene leads to several transcript variants.

The protein ACSL3 is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty acid coenzyme A ligase family. Although all isozymes of this family differ in terms of substrate specificity, subcellular localization and tissue distribution, they convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, both for the synthesis of cellular lipids and for degradation by beta-oxidation. Fatty acid coenzyme A ligases thus play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation.

The KDM4A protein from the Jumonji domain 2 (JMJD2) family contains a JmjN domain, a JmjC domain, a JD2H domain, two TUDOR domains and two PHD-type zinc fingers. This core protein functions as a trimethylation-specific demethylase, which converts specific trimethylated histone residues into the dimethylated form, and as a transcriptional repressor.KDM4A is a histone demethylase that specifically demethylates ‘Lys-9’ and ‘Lys-36’ residues of histone H3 and thus plays a central role in the histone code. KDM4A does not demethylate histone H3 ‘Lys-4’, H3 ‘Lys-27’ and H4 ‘Lys-20’, but demethylates trimethylated H3 ‘Lys-9’ and H3 ‘Lys-36’ residues, whereas it has no effect on mono- and dimethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residues produces formaldehyde and succinate. KDM4A is involved in the transcriptional repression of ASCL2- and E2F-responsive promoters through the recruitment of histone deacetylases and NCOR1, respectively.

The protein PTPRF belongs to the family of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). PTPs are signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle and oncogenic transformation. PTPRF has an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, making it a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region contains three Ig-like domains and nine non-Ig-like domains similar to those of the Neural-Cell Adhesion Molecule. PTPRF plays a role in the regulation of epithelial cell contacts at adhesion sites and in the control of beta-catenin signaling. PTPRF may be a cell adhesion receptor. PTPRF possesses intrinsic protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity and dephosphorylates EPHA2, thereby regulating its activity. The first PTPase domain has enzymatic activity, while the second domain appears to influence the substrate specificity of the first.187

The protein IPO13 is a member of the importin-beta family of nuclear transport proteins. IPO13 mediates the import of specific cargo proteins from the cytoplasm into the nucleus and is dependent on the Ras-related nuclear protein GTPase system. IPO13 is also involved in the nuclear export of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1A. IPO13 serves as a receptor for nuclear localization signals (NLS) in cargo substrates. IPO13 presumably mediates the docking of the importin/substrate complex to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) by binding to nucleoporin, whereupon the complex is translocated through the pore by an energy-consuming, Ran-dependent mechanism. At the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC, Ran binds to importin, the importin/substrate complex dissociates and importin is re-exported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where GTP hydrolysis releases Ran. The directionality of nuclear import appears to be due to an asymmetric distribution of GTP- and GDP-bound forms of Ran between cytoplasm and nucleus. IPO13 mediates nuclear import of UBC9, the RBM8A/MAGOH complex, PAX6 and probably other members of the paired-homeobox family. IPO13 mediates nuclear export of eIF-1A, and cytoplasmic release of eIF-1A is triggered by loading of import substrates onto IPO13.190
IPO13 is associated with:

  • Partington’s syndrome
  • Corpus Callosum, Agenesis of, With Abnormal Genitalia
    • Agenesis of the corpus callosum, severe mental retardation, seizures and spasticity. Males are severely affected, while females may be unaffected or have a milder phenotype.

Other names: Hsa-Mir-4255; MIMAT0016885; Hsa-MiR-4255; MI0015863

MIR4255 is an RNA gene from the miRNA class.215

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs), which can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the enzyme Drosha ribonuclease III to generate an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which in turn is cleaved by the cytoplasmic ribonuclease Dicer to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star products (miRNA*). The mature miRNA is incorporated into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs by incomplete base pairing with the miRNA and in most cases leads to translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. RefSeq represents the probable microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

LINC00461 is an RNA gene and belongs to the lncRNA class (mir-9/mir-79 microRNA precursor family RF00237). LINC00461 is an evolutionarily conserved gene that produces alternatively spliced long non-coding RNAs that can be expressed primarily in the brain and visual cortex. These transcripts may be involved in tumorigenesis, as depletion by siRNA suppresses glioma cell division. The transcripts can bind to miR-411-5p and Argonaut 2 and regulate their activity, thereby altering the expression of genes involved in tumor growth.219
LINC00461 is associated with

  • Glioma
  • Cataract 24.

MIR9-2 is an RNA gene belonging to the class of miRNAs (mir-9/mir-79 microRNA precursor family RF00237). microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs), which can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the enzyme Drosha ribonuclease III to generate an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which in turn is cleaved by the cytoplasmic ribonuclease Dicer to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star products (miRNA*). The mature miRNA is incorporated into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs by incomplete base pairing with the miRNA and in most cases leads to translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the probable microRNA stem-loop.220
