- Abstract
- Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) proteins are cell-cell contact organizing molecules that mediate targeting, clustering and anchoring of proteins at synapses and other cell junctions. MAGUK proteins may contain multiple protein-protein interaction motifs including PDZ, SH3 and guanylate kinase (GuK) domains. In this study, we performed a detailed analysis of the expression pattern of MPP4, a recently described member of the MAGUK protein family. We confirmed that this gene is highly expressed in retina, and demonstrate that it is also present, at lower levels, in brain. We identified a new retina specific isoform encoding a predicted protein lacking 71 amino acids. This protein region contains a newly identified L27 domain, another module playing a role in protein-protein interaction. By RNA in situ hybridization, Mpp4
expression was found to be localized to photoreceptor cells in
postnatal retina. The MPP4 gene is localized to chromosome 2, in
band 2q31-33, where a locus for autosomal recessive retinitis
pigmentosa (RP26) has been mapped. Mutation analysis of the
entire open reading frame of the MPP4 gene in a RP26 family
revealed no pathologic mutations. In addition, we did not identify
mutations in a panel of 300 unrelated patients with retinitis
pigmentosa. (literal)
