Chemical compound and disease context of BBS2

 

Biological context of BBS2

  • To delineate functionally important regions in BBS2, we performed phylogenetic and genomic studies in which we used the human and zebrafish BBS2 peptide sequences to search dbEST and the translation of the draft human genome [14].
  • Features of systemic phenotypic variability were proposed to distinguish patients mapped to either the BBS2, BBS3, or BBS4 loci but no phenotype-genotype correlation has been established for the ocular phenotype [15].
  • Here we report the identification of the gene BBS1 and show that a missense mutation of this gene is a frequent cause of BBS [2].
  • In the majority of northern European families with BBS, the syndrome is linked to a 26-cM region on chromosome 11q13 [16].
  • To date, four of the five known BBS loci have been implicated in this mode of oligogenic disease transmission [17].
 

Anatomical context of BBS2

  • Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a pleiotropic genetic disorder with the cardinal features of obesity, photoreceptor degeneration, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, renal abnormalities, and developmental delay [18].
  • However, uterine, ovarian, and fallopian tube anomalies are more common in BBS patients, and it may be that these clinical features prove to be useful discriminating features [19].
  • Our data indicate that BBS proteins have a role in the microtubule organization of mammalian ciliated cells and that anosmia might be a useful determinant of other pleiotropic disorders with a suspected ciliary involvement [11].
  • These studies are the first to comprehensively compare the diverse group of BBS genes in parallel and demonstrate a common role in intracellular trafficking, indicating that BBS proteins are involved in general organelle trafficking [20].
  • The restricted tissue distribution of BBS6 further suggests that it may play important roles in ciliated epithelial tissues, which is consistent with the probable functions of BBS proteins in basal bodies (modified centrioles) and cilia [21].
 

Associations of BBS2 with chemical compounds

  • The increase in plasma concentration of nitrate and nitrite was inhibited by BBS-2 [22].
  • The mean number of days of BBS/cycle for ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN Lo and ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN was 3.7 and 3.1, respectively, for those subjects with such bleeding [12].
  • In addition, the mechanism leading to alkalinization (7.56 +/- 0.05) in Cl(-)-free BBS was identified as Na(+)-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchange, by its H2DIDS sensitivity and the specific requirement for Cl- and Na+ [23].
  • BBS Plus is a modified glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer's solution which contains the necessary ions, buffers, and substrates for maintenance of normal cellular metabolism, function, and structural integrity when used as a perfusate during ophthalmic surgical procedures [24].
  • In this work, a combination of experimental and quantum mechanical investigations is performed for the study of dichroic absorption properties of melt-processed linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) oriented films containing < or =0.5 wt % of either 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)stilbene (BBS) or 2,5-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl)thiophene (BTBBT) [25].
 

Co-localisations of BBS2

  • MGC1203 encodes a pericentriolar protein that interacts and colocalizes with the BBS proteins [26].
 

Other interactions of BBS2

  • The BBS6 protein has similarity to a Thermoplasma acidophilum chaperonin, whereas BBS2 and BBS4 have no significant similarity to chaperonins [2].
  • In addition, we recently used positional cloning to identify the genes underlying BBS2 (ref. 16) and BBS4 (ref. 17) [2].
  • Six families were excluded from all four known BBS loci, indicating that there is at least a fifth BBS locus (BBS5) [27].
  • The phenotype of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is defined by the association of retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, renal disease and cognitive impairement [28].
  • The chromosomal localization and expression pattern of KIFC3 suggest that it may be an excellent candidate for families linked to BBS2 [29].
