Disease relevance of SBF2

 

High impact information on SBF2

  • In these two families, we identified two different nonsense mutations in the myotubularin-related 13 gene, MTMR13 [1].
  • We mapped this syndrome to chromosome 11p15, in a 4.6-cM region overlapping the locus for an isolated demyelinating ARCMT (CMT4B2) [1].
  • MTMR13 may be important for the development of both the peripheral nerves and the trabeculum meshwork, which permits the outflow of the aqueous humor [1].
  • On membranes of large vesicles formed under hypo-osmotic conditions, Sbf2 favorably competes with Mtmr2 for binding sites [3].
  • Mutation of the SBF2 gene, encoding a novel member of the myotubularin family, in Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 4B2/11p15 [4].
 

Biological context of SBF2

  • Molecular study of the SBF2 gene in the CMT4B family demonstrated the presence of a homozygous inframe deletion of SBF2 exons 11 and 12 in all four affected individuals [4].
  • Localization of SBF2 within the candidate interval, cosegregation with the disease, expression in the peripheral nervous system, and resemblance of the histopathological phenotype to that related to mutations in its paralogue MTMR2 indicate that this gene is the CMT4B2 gene [4].
  • Autosomal recessive CMT is genetically heterogeneous with one locus mapped to chromosome 11p15 (CMT4B2) [4].
  • Since SBF1 governs the formation kinetics and composition of the initial precursor spheres, we hypothesized that the pH of the SBF1 solution will also influence the final structure of the SBF2-derived crystalline apatite [5].
  • The consistent phenotypic features associated with SBF2 mutations are early-onset demyelinating neuropathy, myelin folding, and markedly decreased motor nerve conduction velocities; glaucoma associates with SBF2 nonsense mutations [6].
 

Anatomical context of SBF2

 

Associations of SBF2 with chemical compounds

  • To test this hypothesis, polystyrene substrates were immersed into SBF1 with different pH (5.8 or 6.5), and then immersed into the identical SBF2 (pH=6.0) [5].
  • The MTMR13 phosphatase domain is catalytically inactive because the essential Cys and Arg residues are absent [7].
