Senataxin protects the genome
Ataxia oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cerebellar atrophy, peripheral neuropathy, loss of Purkinje cells and elevated α-fetoprotein. AOA2 is caused by mutations in the SETX gene that codes for the high molecular weight protein senataxin. Mutations in this gene also cause dominant neurodegenerative disorders. Similar to that observed for o...
متن کاملSenataxin modulates neurite growth through fibroblast growth factor 8 signalling.
Senataxin is encoded by the SETX gene and is mainly involved in two different neurodegenerative diseases, the dominant juvenile form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 and a recessive form of ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2. Based on protein homology, senataxin is predicted to be a putative DNA/RNA helicase, while senataxin interactors from patients' lymphoblast cell lines suggest a ...
متن کاملSenataxin Plays an Essential Role with DNA Damage Response Proteins in Meiotic Recombination and Gene Silencing
Senataxin, mutated in the human genetic disorder ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2), plays an important role in maintaining genome integrity by coordination of transcription, DNA replication, and the DNA damage response. We demonstrate that senataxin is essential for spermatogenesis and that it functions at two stages in meiosis during crossing-over in homologous recombination and in ...
متن کاملProtein Interaction Analysis of Senataxin and the ALS4 L389S Mutant Yields Insights into Senataxin Post-Translational Modification and Uncovers Mutant-Specific Binding with a Brain Cytoplasmic RNA-Encoded Peptide
Senataxin is a large 303 kDa protein linked to neuron survival, as recessive mutations cause Ataxia with Oculomotor Apraxia type 2 (AOA2), and dominant mutations cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 (ALS4). Senataxin contains an amino-terminal protein-interaction domain and a carboxy-terminal DNA/RNA helicase domain. In this study, we focused upon the common ALS4 mutation, L389S, by perfo...
متن کاملFunctional role for senataxin, defective in ataxia oculomotor apraxia type 2, in transcriptional regulation.
Ataxia oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cerebellar ataxia and oculomotor apraxia. The gene mutated in AOA2, SETX, encodes senataxin, a putative DNA/RNA helicase which shares high homology to the yeast Sen1p protein and has been shown to play a role in the response to oxidative stress. To investigate further the function of se...
