Association of the Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type-3 protein with clathrin (2005)

Helip-Wooley, Amanda, Westbroek, Wendy, Dorward, Heidi, Mommaas, Mieke, Boissy, Raymond E, Gahl, William A, ...

Abstract Background Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a disorder of lysosome-related organelle biogenesis characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and prolonged bleeding. These clinical findings...

AP-3 Mediates Tyrosinase but Not TRP-1 Trafficking in Human Melanocytes

Huizing, Marjan, Sarangarajan, Rangaprasad, Strovel, Erin, Zhao, Yang, Gahl, William A., Boissy, Raymond E.

Patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS-2) have mutations in the β3A subunit of adaptor complex-3 (AP-3) and functional deficiency of this complex. AP-3 serves as a coat protein in the...

Slc7a11 gene controls production of pheomelanin pigment and proliferation of cultured cells

Chintala, Sreenivasulu, Li, Wei, Lamoreux, M. Lynn, Ito, Shosuke, Wakamatsu, Kazumasa, Sviderskaya, Elena V., ...

In mammals, >100 genes regulate pigmentation by means of a wide variety of developmental, cellular, and enzymatic mechanisms. Nevertheless, genes that directly regulate pheomelanin production have...

The Promoter of a Lysosomal Membrane Transporter Gene, CTNS, Binds Sp-1, Shares Sequences with the Promoter of an Adjacent Gene, CARKL, and Causes Cystinosis If Mutated in a Critical Region

Phornphutkul, Chanika, Anikster, Yair, Huizing, Marjan, Braun, Paula, Brodie, Chaya, Chou, Janice Y., ...

Although >55 CTNS mutations occur in patients with the lysosomal storage disorder cystinosis, no regulatory mutations have been reported, because the promoter has not been defined. Using CAT reporter...

Dominant Inheritance of Sialuria, an Inborn Error of Feedback Inhibition

Leroy, Jules G., Seppala, Raili, Huizing, Marjan, Dacremont, George, De Simpel, Helena, Van Coster, Rudy N., ...

“French type” sialuria, a presumably dominant disorder that, until now, had been documented in only five patients, manifests with mildly coarse facies, slight motor delay, and urinary excretion...

Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Type 3 in Ashkenazi Jews and Other Non–Puerto Rican Patients with Hypopigmentation and Platelet Storage-Pool Deficiency

Huizing, Marjan, Anikster, Yair, Fitzpatrick, Diana L., Jeong, Anna B., D’Souza, Maria, Rausche, Melanie, ...

Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS), consisting of oculocutaneous albinism and a bleeding diathesis due to the absence of platelet dense granules, displays extensive locus heterogeneity. HPS1 mutations...

AP-3 Mediates Tyrosinase but Not TRP-1 Trafficking in Human Melanocytes

Huizing, Marjan, Sarangarajan, Rangaprasad, Strovel, Erin, Zhao, Yang, Gahl, William A., Boissy, Raymond E.

Patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS-2) have mutations in the β3A subunit of adaptor complex-3 (AP-3) and functional deficiency of this complex. AP-3 serves as a coat protein in the...

Evidence that Griscelli Syndrome with Neurological Involvement Is Caused by Mutations in RAB27A, Not MYO5A

Anikster, Yair, Huizing, Marjan, Anderson, Paul D., Fitzpatrick, Diana L., Klar, Aharon, Gross-Kieselstein, Eva, ...

Griscelli syndrome (GS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is characterized by partial albinism, along with immunologic abnormalities or severe neurological impairment or both. Mutations in one of...

Melanocyte-Specific Proteins Are Aberrantly Trafficked in Melanocytes of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome-Type 3

Boissy, Raymond E., Richmond, Bonnie, Huizing, Marjan, Helip-Wooley, Amanda, Zhao, Yang, Koshoffer, Amy, ...

Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome-type 3 (HPS-3) is a relatively mild subtype of HPS with minimal cutaneous and ocular depigmentation. The HPS-3 gene encodes a novel protein of unknown function with a...

Mutation in the key enzyme of sialic acid biosynthesis causes severe glomerular proteinuria and is rescued by N-acetylmannosamine
