Background Lowe syndrome (LS) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the X-linked gene OCRL, which codes for an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase that plays a key role in endosome recycling, clathrin-coated pit formation, and actin polymerization.

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Expanded carrier screening for inherited genetic disease using exome and genome sequencing
Abstract The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using exome (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) in guiding preconception genetic screening (PCGS) for couples who are planning to conceive by creating a workflow for identifying risk alleles for autosomal recessive (AR) and X‐linked (XL) disorders without the constraints of a predetermined ...

Domain‐Shuffling in the Evolution of Cyclostomes and Gnathostomes
We addressed the potential roles of domain‐shuffling origin genes (DSO‐Gs) in the evolution of early vertebrates. Through comparative genome analysis of 22 metazoans, including four cyclostomes, we identified DSO‐Gs before and after the divergence of cyclostomes and gnathostomes, and suggest domain shuffling as a key mechanism in vertebrate early ...

Síndrome de Lowe: relato de cinco casos Lowe syndrome: report of five cases
INTRODUÇÃO: A síndrome de Lowe, ou distrofia oculocerebrorrenal (OCRL), tem herança recessiva ligada ao cromossomo X. Apresenta-se com catarata, glaucoma, atraso no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor (DNPM), déficit cognitivo e síndrome de Fanconi. OBJETIVO:

Phosphoinositide Metabolism: Biochemistry, Physiology and Genetic Disorders
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylinositol, a glycerophospholipid with a myo‐inositol head group, can form seven different phosphoinositides (PItds) by phosphorylation at inositol carbons 3, 4 and/or 5. Over 50 kinases and phosphatases participate in PItd metabolism, creating an interconnected PItd network that allows for precise temporal and spatial regulation of ...

An atypical Dent’s disease phenotype caused by co-inheritance of mutations at CLCN5 and OCRL genes [PDF]
Dent's disease is an X-linked renal tubulopathy caused by mutations mainly affecting the CLCN5 gene. Defects in the OCRL gene, which is usually mutated in patients with Lowe syndrome, have been shown to lead to a Dent-like phenotype called Dent disease 2. However, about 20% of patients with Dent's disease carry no CLCN5/OCRL mutations.

Molecular and mechanical mechanisms of animal cell abscission
Cytokinesis leads to the distribution of segregated chromosomes, membrane, and cytoplasmic material in the two daughter cells, and ultimately concludes with abscission, their physical separation. In this Graphical Review, we outline the key events that lead to abscission and discuss mechanisms of delayed abscisison.

Proteomic analysis reveals that instead of specific proteins, different tissues exhibit common dysregulated functional networks. Specifically, the integrity of the midgut barrier function is compromised during aging, which can be restored through the downregulation of the insulin receptor (InR).
