Background: Previous estimates of the prevalence of Menkes disease, a lethal X-linked recessive disorder of copper metabolism, were based on confirmed clinical cases ascertained from specific populations and varied from 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 354,507.

Copper induces Cu-ATPase ATP7A mRNA in a fish cell line, SAF1 [PDF]
Copper transporting ATPase, ATP7A, is an ATP dependent copper pump present in all vertebrates, critical for the maintenance of intracellular and whole body copper homeostasis. Effects of copper treatment on ATP7A gene expression in fibroblast cells (SAF1)

PRMT5-Dependent Stabilization of VPS34 Orchestrates Copper Trafficking to Shield Cancer Cells from Cuproptosis and Radiotherapy. [PDF]
Radioresistance arises partly from tumor cells evading cuproptosis via unknown defenses. This study reveals that the PRMT5‐VPS34 axis acts as a radiation‐activated anticuproptotic mechanism: PRMT5 methylates VPS34 at Arg174, recruiting USP10 to remove K48‐linked ubiquitination and prevent degradation.

Splice Site Mutations in the ATP7A Gene
Menkes disease (MD) is caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene. We describe 33 novel splice site mutations detected in patients with MD or the milder phenotypic form, Occipital Horn Syndrome. We review these 33 mutations together with 28 previously published splice site mutations.

A Role for The ATP7A Copper Transporter in Tumorigenesis and Cisplatin Resistance [PDF]
The ATP7A protein is a ubiquitously expressed copper-translocating P-type ATPase that controls cytoplasmic copper concentrations by mediating cellular copper egress. In vitro studies have previously demonstrated that ATP7A abundance in various tumor cell lines is correlated with increased resistance to cisplatin, a widely-used chemotherapy agent ...

An Ile/Val polymorphism at codon 1464 of the ATP7A gene [PDF]
An isoleucine/valine polymorphism was observed at codon 1464 of the ATP7A gene, which is thought to encode a copper transporting adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). The frequency of Val1464 was estimated to be 5.7% in the Japanese population. This polymorphism may be useful in genetic studies of Menkes disease.

Is It a PathogenicATP7AVariation and Is It Menkes Disease? [PDF]
This paper is a comment on “Menkes Disease Presenting with Epilepsia Partialis Continua.” While updating the LOVD (Leiden Open Variation Database) ATP7A mutation database (https://grenada.lumc.nl/LOVD2/MD/home.php) I came across a case described by Rizk and colleagues and published in your journal [1].

Ubiquitination is reported to be a critical biological event on ACTH secretion in corticotroph adenomas. However, the effect of ubiquitylation on ACTH secretion in silent corticotroph adenomas (SCAs) remains unclear.

Intragenic Deletions at Atp7a in Mouse Models for Menkes Disease
Mottled mice have mutations in the copper-transporting ATPase Atp7a. They are proven models for the human disorder Menkes disease (MD), which results from mutations in a homologous gene. Mottled mice can be divided into three classes: class 1, in which affected males die before birth; class 2, in which affected males die in the early postnatal period ...

ATP7A-Regulated Enzyme Metalation and Trafficking in the Menkes Disease Puzzle [PDF]
Copper is vital for numerous cellular functions affecting all tissues and organ systems in the body. The copper pump, ATP7A is critical for whole-body, cellular, and subcellular copper homeostasis, and dysfunction due to genetic defects results in Menkes disease.
