Sam68 is a member of the "signal transduction and activation of RNA" (STAR) family of KH domain-containing RNA-binding proteins that mediates pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA export, and protein translation. It binds to UAAA, UUUA, and UUUUUU motifs with high affinity. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) techniques using lysates from UV cross-linked NIH 3T3 cells have identified 23 Sam68 complex-associated mRNA species, including Thrap1, bri3bp, Myl6, Copeb/KLF6/Zf9, Hmgn1, Smc6, and biglycan. In addition, Sam68 is found to be a key regulator of Nrxn1 alternative splicing in the central nervous system in a neuronal activity-dependent manner. Sam68 is phosphorylated on three tyrosine residues (pTyr435, pTyr440, and pTyr443) within the C-terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS) region by the breast tumor kinase (BRK) following EGF stimulation of breast tumor cells with pTyr440 being a principal modulator of Sam68 nuclear localization. Studies comparing wild-type and Sam68-/- knockout mice revealed a positive regulatory role of Sam68 toward adipocyte differentiation, as well as a negative impact of Sam68 against osteoblast differentiation among aged mice.

  • Genome-Wide Copy Number Variation Analysis in a Chinese Autism

Large- scale whole-genome studies of copy number variation in Han Chinese samples are still lacking. We performed a genome-wide copy number variation analysis of 343 ASD trios, 203 patients with sporadic cases and 988 controls in a Chinese population using Illumina genotyping platforms to identify CNVs and related genes that may contribute to ASD risk. We identified 32 rare CNVs larger than 1 Mb in 31 patients. ASD patients were found to carry a higher global burden of rare, large CNVs than controls. Recurrent de novo or case-private CNVs were found at 15q11-13, Xp22.3, 15q13.1–13.2, 3p26.3 and 2p12. The de novo 15q11–13 duplication was more prevalent in this Chinese population than in those with European ancestry. Several genes, including GRAMD2 and STAM, were implicated as novel ASD risk genes when integrating whole-genome CNVs and whole-exome sequencing data. We also identified several CNVs that include known ASD genes (SHANK3, CDH10, CSMD1) or genes involved in nervous system development (NYAP2, ST6GAL2, GRM6).

  • Molecular Mechanisms: Researchers Light up Interactions Between Neurons
    Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org NEWS Molecular mechanisms: Researchers light up interactions between neurons BY JESSICA WRIGHT 30 NOVEMBER 2010 Pretty picture: Engineered neuroligins (green) and neurexins (blue) bind at the sites of communication (red) between neurons. Researchers have developed a technique to detect interactions in live neurons between neuroligins and neurexins — two proteins known to bind at the junction between neurons, according to a study published 29 October in Cell. Neurons relay information across the brain by releasing molecules, called neurotransmitters, across synapses, the junctions between neurons. Neurexins and neuroligins, which jut out of the transmitting and receiving ends of neurons, respectively, bind to each other on neighboring cells, stabilizing an active synapse. Researchers induced some live neurons, removed from a rat hippocampus, to express an engineered version of neurexin-1 (NRXN1) that can add a small molecule called biotin to another protein. They then induced other neurons to express a modified form of neuroligin-1 (NLGN1) that has a biotin-receiving domain. When the two proteins bind at a synapse, the modified NRXN1 attaches biotin to the modified NLGN1. Using this clever technique and a fluorescent dye that binds to biotin, the researchers can look at 1 / 2 Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org the live interaction between NRXN1 and NLGN1. They can also detect the number of interactions by quantifying the fluorescent signal. When the neurons release neurotransmitters, the researchers found, the engineered proteins interact more. This suggests that NLGN1-NRXN1 interactions increase in an active synapse. Using dyes to distinguish interactions before and after activation, the researchers show that neuron activation increases the amount NRXN1 and NLGN1 at the cell surface.

Once phosphorylated, functions as an adapter protein in signal transduction cascades by binding to SH2 and SH3 domain-containing proteins. Role in G2-M progression in the cell cycle. Represses CBP-dependent transcriptional activation apparently by competing with other nuclear factors for binding to CBP. Also acts as a putative regulator of mRNA stability and/or translation rates and mediates mRNA nuclear export. Positively regulates the association of constitutive transport element (CTE)-containing mRNA with large polyribosomes and translation initiation. May not be involved in the nucleocytoplasmic export of unspliced (CTE)-containing RNA species.
