The macular degeneration-linked C1QTNF5 (S163) mutation causes higher-order structural rearrangements.
The C1q-tumor necrosis factor 5 (C1QTNF5) protein plays a significant role in retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cellular adhesion. The C1QTNF5 gene is co-transcribed with the frizzled-related protein (MFRP) gene. A Ser-to-Arg mutation at site 163 (S163R) in C1QTNF5 is known to cause late-onset retinal macular degeneration (L-ORMD). Here we also found that C1QTNF5 monomers can multimerize into ...
متن کاملDisease mechanisms in late-onset retinal macular degeneration associated with mutation in C1QTNF5.
Late-onset retinal macular degeneration (L-ORMD) is an autosomal dominant condition resembling age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in which a key pathological feature is a thick extracellular sub-retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) deposit. L-ORMD is caused by mutation in the C1QTNF5 (CTRP5) short-chain collagen gene, but the disease mechanism is unknown. Here, we first show that wild-type C1QT...
متن کاملX-linked recessive atrophic macular degeneration from RPGR mutation.
We mapped a new X-linked recessive atrophic macular degeneration locus to Xp21.1-p11.4 and show allelic involvement of the gene RPGR, which normally causes severe peripheral retinal degeneration leading to global blindness. Ten affected males whom we examined had primarily macular atrophy causing progressive loss of visual acuity with minimal peripheral visual impairment. One additional male sh...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the globular domain of C1QTNF5: Implications for late-onset retinal macular degeneration.
Autosomal dominant late-onset retinal macular degeneration (L-ORMD) is caused by a single S163R mutation in the C1q and tumor necrosis factor-related protein 5 (C1QTNF5) gene. The C1QTNF5 gene encodes a secreted and membrane-associated protein involved in adhesion of retinal pigmented epithelial cells (RPE) to Bruch's membrane. The crystal structure of the trimeric globular domain of human C1QT...
متن کاملCharacterisation of a C1qtnf5 Ser163Arg Knock-In Mouse Model of Late-Onset Retinal Macular Degeneration
A single founder mutation resulting in a Ser163Arg substitution in the C1QTNF5 gene product causes autosomal dominant late-onset retinal macular degeneration (L-ORMD) in humans, which has clinical and pathological features resembling age-related macular degeneration. We generated and characterised a mouse "knock-in" model carrying the Ser163Arg mutation in the orthologous murine C1qtnf5 gene by...
