Wiegerinck et al 2014 found homozygous truncating mutations in 2 consanguineous patients with MVID by exome sequencing. Western blot confirmed loss of protein expression in 1 case and mislocalisation of truncated protein in 2nd case. In vitro functional analysis showed statistically significant increase of both microvillus inclusions and basolateral microvilli and reduction of endogenous STX3 levels by overexpression of truncated, but not full-length, STX3 protein suggesting a dominant-negative effect.
Dhekne et al 2017: MYO5B, STX3, or STXBP2 encoded proteins all have roles in apical membrane trafficking in epithelial cells leading to suggestion that these three genes and their encoded proteins represent a common disease mechanism that unifies a subset of phenotypically linked congenital diarrheal disorders. They analyzed the subcellular distribution of syntaxin-3 and munc18-2 in enterocytes of intestinal biopsies from patients with MYO5B or STXBP2 mutations and found abnormal STX3 localisation. Authors say this provides compelling evidence that myosin Vb,syntaxin-3, and munc18-2 are functionally linked in human enterocytes, and likely comprise a common molecular pathway and disease mechanism that unifies a subgroup of congenital diarrheal disorders.
NOTE: PubMed: 25358429 identified homozygous missense STX3 mutation in a patient with autosomal recessive congenital cataract and intellectual disability phenotype without reported intestinal symptoms therefore milder mutations may be associated with alternate phenotype (similar to MYO5B missense mutations and cholestasis)Created: 21 Jan 2019, 2:09 p.m.
