Disease relevance of SEPT6

  • In this work, we report a unique ins(X;11)(q24;q23) in an infant with acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2) that fuses the human KIAA0128 gene at Xq24 with MLL [1].
  • Both SEP1 and SEP2 were predictive of later cerebral palsy (CP) (p = 0.03 and p = 0.003, respectively) [2].
  • SEP1 and SEP2 were less accurate than head ultrasound findings of periventricular leukomalacia in the prediction of later CP (73, 69 and 93%, respectively) [2].
 

High impact information on SEPT6

  • Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer, size exclusion chromatography, and multi-angle light scattering techniques, we have characterized the conformation of a complex of filamentous human septins, Sept2, Sept6, and Sept7 [3].
  • Mass spectroscopic analysis of proteins coprecipitating with Sept6 identified the microtubule-associated protein MAP4 as a septin binding partner [4].
  • In the remaining case, a MLL-SEPT6/Xq24 fusion suggested a complex rearrangement [5].
  • SEP3 and SEP2 measures demonstrated the significant superiority of vardenafil over placebo from week 2 onwards (p<0.001) [6].
  • Patients treated with vardenafil 8hours before sexual activity achieved clinically meaningful (>/=18%) and statistically significantly greater least-squares mean per-patient SEP3 and SEP2 success rates over weeks 2-10, compared with patients receiving placebo (SEP3 69% vs 34%; SEP2 81% vs 51%; both p<0.001) [6].
 

Biological context of SEPT6

 

Anatomical context of SEPT6

  • Septin 6, previously shown to be associated with synaptic vesicles, was present in all of 7 controls, but only in 1 out of 6 DS brains [8].
  • We recorded unilateral, median nerve SEPs in 88 preterm infants twice in the first 3 weeks of life (SEP1 and SEP2) [2].
 

Associations of SEPT6 with chemical compounds

  • The time between sildenafil ingestion and intercourse attempt (0-0.5 to >10 hours) had no significant effect on responses to SEP2, but decreased responses to SEP3 from a maximum of 92.8% at 1.5-2 hours to 81.6% at more than 10 hours (P = 0.003) [9].
 

Other interactions of SEPT6

  • The 3018-bp full-length cDNA potentially encodes a 517-residue peptide, sharing closest homology to human septin 8 and septin 6 [10].
