Optineurin (OPTN)

The protein contains 577 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 65921 Da.

 

Plays an important role in the maintenance of the Golgi complex, in membrane trafficking, in exocytosis, through its interaction with myosin VI and Rab8 (PubMed:27534431). Links myosin VI to the Golgi complex and plays an important role in Golgi ribbon formation (PubMed:27534431). Plays a role in the activation of innate immune response during viral infection. Mechanistically, recruits TBK1 at the Golgi apparatus, promoting its trans-phosphorylation after RLR or TLR3 stimulation (PubMed:27538435). In turn, activated TBK1 phosphorylates its downstream partner IRF3 to produce IFN-beta. Plays a neuroprotective role in the eye and optic nerve. May act by regulating membrane trafficking and cellular morphogenesis via a complex that contains Rab8 and hungtingtin (HD). Mediates the interaction of Rab8 with the probable GTPase-activating protein TBC1D17 during Rab8-mediated endocytic trafficking, such as of transferrin receptor (TFRC/TfR); regulates Rab8 recruitment to tubules emanating from the endocytic recycling compartment. Autophagy receptor that interacts directly with both the cargo to become degraded and an autophagy modifier of the MAP1 LC3 family; targets ubiquitin-coated bacteria (xenophagy), such as cytoplasmic Salmonella enterica, and appears to function in the same pathway as SQSTM1 and CALCOCO2/NDP52.', '(Microbial infection) May constitute a cellular target for adenovirus E3 14.7 and Bluetongue virus protein NS3 to inhibit innate immune response.

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 137760

Glaucoma, primary open angle; poag glaucoma 1, open angle, e, included; glc1e, included
Glaucoma, primary open angle, adult-onset, included

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because this form of adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), designated GLC1E, is caused by mutation in the OPTN gene (602432) on chromosome 10p.

DESCRIPTION

Quigley (1993) reviewed adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma, which combines a particular abnormal appearance of the optic disc (optic nerve head) with a slowly progressive loss of visual sensitivity. Many patients with glaucoma have intraocular pressures above the normal range, although this cannot be considered part of the definition of the disease, since some patients have normal intraocular pressures. Changes in the optic disc, either inherited or acquired, contribute to the development of the disorder, which leads to visual loss from increasing nerve fiber layer atrophy. Quigley et al. (1994) stated that POAG should be reviewed as a multifactorial disorder. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Other forms of primary open angle glaucoma include GLC1A (137750), caused by mutation in the MYOC gene (601652) on chromosome 1q24.3-q25.2; GLC1B (606689) on chromosome 2cen-q13; GLC1C (601682) on chromosome 3q21-q24; GLC1D (602429) on chromosome 8q23; GLC1F (603383), caused by mutation in the ASB10 gene on chromosome 7q36; GLC1G (609887), caused by mutation in the WDR36 gene (609669) on chromosome 5q22; GLC1H (611276) on chromosome 2p16-p15; GLC1I (609745) on chromosome 15q11-q13; GLC1J (608695) on chromosome 9q22; GLC1K (608696) on chromosome 20p12; GLC1L (see 137750) on chromosome 3p22-p21; GLC1M (610535) on chromosome 5q22; GLC1N (611274) on chromosome 15q22-q24; GLC1O (613100), caused by mutation in the NTF4 gene (162662) on chromosome 19q13.3; GLC1P (177700), caused by an approximately 300-kb duplication on chromosome 12q24, most likely involving the TBK1 gene (604834). Nail-patella syndrome (NPS; 161200), which is caused by mutation in the LMX1B gene (602575) on chromosome 9q34, has open angle glaucoma as a pleiotropic feature. - Other Forms of Glaucoma For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of congenital forms of glaucoma, see GLC3A (231300). See 606657 for a discussion of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) or normal pressure glaucoma (NPG), a subtype of POAG.

CLINICAL FEATURES

Tanito et al. (2004) described the use of a digitized laser slit lamp that uses a helium-neon laser as a light source in detecting reduction of posterior pole retinal thickness in glaucoma. Posterior pole retinal thickness was found to be decreased in early and moderate stage POAG. Reduction of perifoveal retinal thickness was correlated with visual field loss. In a study of 4,319 subjects in the Beijing Eye Study stratified into several myopia subgroups, Xu et al. (2007) found that marked to high myopia with a myopic refractive error exceeding -6 diopters was associated with a high prevalence of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

Using topical application of dexamethasone, Armaly (1966) concluded that subjects can be divided into 3 classes according to the response of intraocular pressure--high, intermediate, and low. He interpreted these 3 phenotypes to correspond to the 3 genotypes of a 2-allele system. Southren et al. (1985) presented evidence for an alteration in cortisol metabolism in primary open angle glaucoma. Changes in 2 enzymes were found: a greater than 100-fold increase in cortisol delta-4-reductase and a 4-fold or greater decrease in 3-oxidoreductas ... More on the omim web site
