Human Deafness, Autosomal Recessive 31 (DFNB31) interaction partners

1. two novel mutations in the WHRN and TMC1 (show TMC1 Antibodies) genes are responsible for founder effects of hereditary hemochromatosis (show HFE Antibodies), Wilson s disease, the long QT syndrome and autosomal recessive deafness in a Swedish pedigree

2. Protein-protein interaction assays and co-expression of complex partners reveal that pathogenic mutations in USH1G (show USH1G Antibodies) severely affect formation of the SANS (show USH1G Antibodies)/ush2a (show USH2A Antibodies)/whirlin complex. Translational read-through drug treatment, targeting the c.728C > A (p.S243X) nonsense mutation, restored SANS (show USH1G Antibodies) scaffold function. We conclude that USH1 and USH2 (show USH2A Antibodies) proteins function together in higher order protein complexes.

3. Data indicate that that CIB2 (show CIB2 Antibodies) localizes to stereocilia and interacts with the USH proteins myosin VIIa (show MYO7A Antibodies) and whirlin, suggesting CIB2 (show CIB2 Antibodies) is a Ca2 (show CA2 Antibodies)+-buffering protein essential for calcium homeostasis in the mechanosensory stereocilia of inner ear hair cells.

4. In Spain, USH2A (show USH2A Antibodies) and GPR98 are responsible for 95.8% and 5.2% of Usher syndrome 2 mutated cases, respectively. DFNB31 plays a minor role in the Spanish population. There was a group of patients in whom no mutation was found.

5. Mutation found in USH2A (show USH2A Antibodies), GPR98, or DFNB31 account for the vast majority of USH2 (show USH2A Antibodies) patients and their analysis provide a robust pathway for routine molecular diagnosis.

6. A novel DFNB31 mutation associated with Usher type 2 syndrome showing variable degrees of auditory loss in a consanguineous Portuguese family.

7. DFNB31 is not a major cause of Usher syndrome.

8. This paper describes a PDZ domain protein (show INADL Antibodies) and its role in synaptic transmission in the related rat gene.

9. This paper concludes that this protein plays a role in photoreceptor and hair cell synapse organization in the related rat gene.

10. Defects in whirlin, a PDZ domain (show INADL Antibodies) molecule involved in stereocilia elongation, cause deafness in the whirler mouse and families with DFNB31.

Mouse (Murine) Deafness, Autosomal Recessive 31 (DFNB31) interaction partners

1. C-terminal hairpin extensions of the whirlin PDZ (show INADL Antibodies) domains mediate the transient supramodular assembly, which improves the binding capacity of the first domain towards its partners, such as Sans.

2. the major long (WHRN-L) and short (WHRN-S) isoforms of WHRN have distinct localizations within stereocilia and also across hair cell types.

3. vestibular dysfunction in Dfnb31 mutant mice

4. disruption of distinct whirlin isoforms by Dfnb31 mutations leads to a variety of phenotype configurations

5. findings indicate that Whirlin and TRPV1 (show TRPV1 Antibodies) are associated in a subset of nociceptors and that TRPV1 (show TRPV1 Antibodies) protein stability is increased through the interaction with the cytoskeletal scaffold protein (show HOMER1 Antibodies).

6. This study showed here that Whirlin/Deafness autosomal recessive 31 (DFNB31), a PDZ (show INADL Antibodies)-scaffold protein (show HOMER1 Antibodies) involved in vestibular and auditory hair cell transduction, is also expressed by proprioceptive sensory neurons (pSNs) in dorsal root ganglia in mice.

7. Whrn acts as a cytoskeletal linker to ensure proper paranodal compaction and stabilization of the axonal cytoskeleton in myelinated axons.

8. It was concluded that MyoXVa, whirlin, and Eps8 are integral components of the stereocilia tip complex, where Eps8 is a central actin-regulatory element for elongation of the stereocilia actin core.

9. Whirlin expression is a critical and dynamic organizer for stereocilia elongation and actin polymerization.

10. myosin-XVa (show MYO15 Antibodies) is a motor protein (show MYO7A Antibodies) that, in vivo, interacts with the third PDZ domain (show INADL Antibodies) of whirlin through its carboxy-terminal PDZ (show INADL Antibodies)-ligand. Myosin-XVa (show MYO15 Antibodies) then delivers whirlin to the tips of stereocilia.
