PubMed PubMed Product Detail Gigaxonin, also refered to as giant axonal neuropathy, GAN1, or KLHL16, controls protein degradation and is essential for neuronal function and survival. Gigaxonin is a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch repeat family and influences cytoskeletal organization and dynamics, playing a large role in neurofilament architecture. The amino terminal BTB domain of gigaxonin binds to the ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1, while the carboxy-terminal kelch repeat domain interacts directly with the light chain of microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B), and tags it for degredation. Overexpression of MAP1B may lead to neuronal cell death, whereas a reduction of MAP1B significantly improves the survival rate of neurons. Mutations in the Gigaxonin gene result in human giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by axonal degeneration caused by cytoskeletal abnormalities, including accumulated intermediate filaments.
Function:
Mutations in gigaxonin result in a sensory and motor neuropathy called Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN). Giant axonal neuropathy, a severe autosomal recessive sensorineural neuropathy affecting both the peripheral nerves and the central nervous system, is characterized by neurofilament accumulation, leading to segmental distention of axons. Gigaxonin is a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) repeat family. Gigaxonin contains an N-terminal BTB domain followed by 6 kelch repeats, which were predicted to adopt a beta-propeller shape. Gigaxonin controls protein degradation and is essential for neuronal function and survival. Substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Controls degradation of TBCB. Controls degradation of MAP1B and MAP1S, and is critical for neuronal maintenance and survival
Subunit:
Interacts with TBCB. Interacts with CUL3. Part of a complex that contains CUL3, RBX1 and GAN. Interacts (via BTB domain) with UBA1. Interacts (via Kelch domains) with MAP1B (via C-terminus) and MAP1S (via C-terminus).
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic; Cytoskeleton.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in brain, heart and muscle.
Post-translational modifications:
Ubiquitinated by E3 ubiquitin ligase complex formed by CUL3 and RBX1 and probably targeted for proteasome-independent degradation.
DISEASE:
Defects in GAN are the cause of giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) [MIM:256850]. GAN is a severe autosomal recessive sensorimotor neuropathy affecting both the peripheral nerves and the central nervous system. It is characterized by neurofilament accumulation, leading to segmental distention of axons.
Similarity:
Contains 1 BACK (BTB/Kelch associated) domain.
Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain.
Contains 6 Kelch repeats.
