Disease relevance of UTS2R

 

Psychiatry related information on UTS2R

  • In vitro RNA binding experiments demonstrated that Hel-N1 can bind to the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of Id mRNA, a transcript that encodes a helix-loop-helix transcriptional repressor that is abundantly expressed in undifferentiated neural precursors [6].
  • The fragile X syndrome is an X linked, semidominant mental retardation disorder caused by the amplification of a CGG repeat in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene [7].
  • Association between the 5' UTR variant C178T of the serotonin receptor gene HTR3A and bipolar affective disorder [8].
  • No evidence was found for the involvement of variants within the CUX2 coding, or 5' UTR sequence in producing susceptibility to bipolar disorder [9].
  • However, differences in allele frequencies of the 3' UTR single nucleotide polymorphism between the present population and that of Wassink et al. may account for the inability to detect association between WNT2 and autistic disorder in the present data set [10].
 

High impact information on UTS2R

  • A functional polymorphism in the 5' UTR of GDF5 is associated with susceptibility to osteoarthritis [11].
  • A SNP in the 5' UTR of GDF5 (+104T/C; rs143383) showed significant association (P = 1.8 x 10(-13)) with hip osteoarthritis in two independent Japanese populations [11].
  • We were surprised to find that mice overexpressing a normal DMPK 3' UTR mRNA reproduced cardinal features of myotonic dystrophy, including myotonia, cardiac conduction abnormalities, histopathology and RNA splicing defects in the absence of detectable nuclear inclusions [12].
  • We herein demonstrate that the GDF8 allele of Texel sheep is characterized by a G to A transition in the 3' UTR that creates a target site for mir1 and mir206, microRNAs (miRNAs) that are highly expressed in skeletal muscle [13].
  • The IL12B 3' UTR alleles showed different levels of expression in cell lines [14].

Associations of UTS2R with chemical compounds

  • Human urotensin-II is a potent vasoconstrictor and agonist for the orphan receptor GPR14 [25].
  • Palosuran (ACT-058362; 1-[2-(4-benzyl-4-hydroxy-piperidin-1-yl)-ethyl]-3-(2-methyl-quinolin-4-yl)-urea sulfate salt) is a new potent and specific antagonist of the human UT receptor [3].
  • A functional cell-based screen identified 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)isochroman-1-one hydrochloride (AC-7954, 1) as a nonpeptidic agonist of the urotensin-II receptor [26].
  • Here, we characterise Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human UT receptor in the following assays; (1) [(125)I]U-II binding, (2) GTPgamma[(35)S] binding, (3) cAMP formation, and (4) intracellular Ca(2+) [27].
  • However, whereas SB-710411 antagonized urotensin-II-induced inositol phosphate formation at the rat UT receptor (pK(b) 6.54+/-0.05), this ligand functioned as an agonist at the monkey UT receptor (pEC(50) 6.56+/-0.35, E(max) 5.27+/-0.65-fold over basal) [28].
 

Physical interactions of UTS2R

  • Goby and human U-II bind to recombinant human GPR14 with high affinity, and the binding is functionally coupled to calcium mobilization [25].
 

Regulatory relationships of UTS2R

  • Radioligand binding analysis showed high affinity binding of UII to membrane preparations isolated from HEK293 cells stably expressing rat GPR14 [24].
