Large-scale phenotyping of an accurate genetic mouse model of JNCL identifies novel early pathology outside the central nervous system. [PDF]
Cln3(Δex7/8) mice harbor the most common genetic defect causing juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL), an autosomal recessive disease involving seizures, visual, motor and cognitive decline, and premature death.

CLN3 mediates chloride efflux from lysosomes. [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases, which pose significant challenges for effective treatment, often involve risk variants of lysosomal gene products that disrupt lysosomal function, leading to the accumulation of indigestible materials and damage to brain cells. The lysosome is a degradative organelle and a signaling hub that senses nutrient availability. How

A novel interaction of CLN3 with nonmuscle myosin-IIB and defects in cell motility of Cln3−/− cells [PDF]
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is a pediatric lysosomal storage disorder characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent storage material and neurodegeneration, which result from mutations in CLN3. The function of CLN3, a lysosomal membrane protein, is currently unknown.

Timing of cognitive decline in CLN3 disease [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundCLN3 disease is a major cause of childhood neurodegeneration. Onset of visual failure around 6 years of age is thought to precede cognitive deterioration by a few years, but casuistic reports question this paradigm. The aim of our study is to delineate timing of cognitive decline in CLN3 disease.MethodsEarly neurocognitive functioning

Identification of a Transactivation Motif in the CLN3 Protein [PDF]
AbstractA transactivation motif has been identified in the neurodegenerative disease protein, CLN3. The C‐terminal domain (residues 394‐438) of CLN3 can function as a transcriptional activator when fused to the DNA binding domain, LexA. A series of deletion and substitution constructs have been generated to identify the essential region for ...

Batten disease, one of the most devastating types of neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders, is caused by mutations in CLN3. Here, we show that CLN3 is a vesicular trafficking hub connecting the Golgi and lysosome compartments.

Entry into the cell cycle occurs only when sufficient growth has occurred. In budding yeast, the cyclin Cln3 is thought to initiate cell cycle entry by inactivating a transcriptional repressor called Whi5.

Dual Repressive Function by Cip1, a Budding Yeast Analog of p21, in Cell-Cycle START Regulation
Cip1, a newly identified yeast analog of p21, is a Cln3-CDK inhibitor that negatively regulates cell-cycle START. However, its function remains poorly understood.
