Role of the AP-5 adaptor protein complex in late endosome-to-Golgi retrieval [PDF]
The AP-5 adaptor protein complex is presumed to function in membrane traffic, but so far nothing is known about its pathway or its cargo. We have used CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out the AP-5 ζ subunit gene, AP5Z1, in HeLa cells, and then analysed the phenotype

Abstract Sarcopenia and frailty are complex geriatric syndromes influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that specific genetic variants, DNA methylation patterns and shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related diseases and might contribute to the development of both sarcopenia and frailty. In this

CDC42‐Effector Proteins Regulate Higher Order Structure of Septins Required for CNS Myelin Integrity
CDC42‐effector proteins 1/2 are present in CNS myelin. They facilitate the higher order structure of myelin septin filaments. Their loss impairs septin‐dependent scaffolding of myelin. Myelin outfoldings do not cause secondary neuropathology per se. ABSTRACT The regular structure of CNS myelin requires specialized structural proteins, including septin ...

An Inversion Disrupting FAM134B Is Associated with Sensory Neuropathy in the Border Collie Dog Breed [PDF]
Sensory neuropathy in the Border Collie is a severe neurological disorder caused by the degeneration of sensory and, to a lesser extent, motor nerve cells with clinical signs starting between 2 and 7 months of age.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Differentiating hereditary axonal polyneuropathies caused by distinct gene variants remains a clinical challenge. This comparative case study of DNAJB2‐ and HINT1‐related neuropathies aimed to broaden the phenotypic spectrum associated with these genes and to explore non‐motor symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in affected ...

Expanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias Limits: Biallelic SPAST Variants in Cerebral Palsy Mimics
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare neurodegenerative disorders marked by spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common type, SPG4, is usually autosomal dominant and caused by SPAST gene variants, typically presenting as pure HSP.

S113R mutation in SLC33A1 leads to neurodegeneration and augmented BMP signaling in a mouse model
The S113R mutation (c.339T>G) (MIM #603690.0001) in SLC33A1 (MIM #603690), an ER membrane acetyl-CoA transporter, has been previously identified in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 42 (SPG42; MIM #612539).

Background X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is one of the most common peroxisomal disorders characterized by abnormal accumulation of very long‐chain fatty acids (VLCFA) in plasma and tissues and caused by mutations within ABCD1.

REEP1 contributes to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) shaping. Variants either cause cortical motoneuron degeneration and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) or spinal motoneuron degeneration and distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN). Knockout causes less complex ER structures and cortical motoneuron loss.
