Syntaxin-binding protein 3 (STXBP3)

The protein contains 592 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 67764 Da.

 

Together with STX4 and VAMP2, may play a role in insulin-dependent movement of GLUT4 and in docking/fusion of intracellular GLUT4-containing vesicles with the cell surface in adipocytes. (updated: April 1, 2015)

CLONING

Gengyo-Ando et al. (1996) cloned mouse Stxbp3, which they called Munc18-3. The deduced protein contains 592 amino acids. By screening a human fetal brain cDNA library using the mouse cDNA as probe, Gengyo-Ando et al. (1996) cloned STXBP3. The deduced 592-amino acid protein lacks hydrophobic sequences, suggesting that it is an intracellular cytosolic protein. Human and mouse STXBP3 share 91% amino acid identity. Northern blot analysis of mouse tissues detected a 2.8-kb transcript in all tissues examined. Using an antiplatelet antibody to screen an expression library developed from a leukemia cell line that expressed platelet proteins, followed by screening a megakaryocytic cell line cDNA library, Reed et al. (1999) cloned STXBP3, which they called PSP. The deduced 592-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 68 kD and contains sequence motifs for protein kinase C (PKC; see 176982) and casein kinase II (see 115441) phosphorylation. STXBP3 was predicted to be a hydrophilic protein. Northern blot analysis detected a STXBP3 transcript of about 2.7 kb in 3 megakaryocytic cell lines. Western blot analysis detected a 68-kD protein in platelet detergent extracts. STXBP3 partitioned with the cytosolic platelet fraction, with small amounts in the particulate or membrane fraction.

GENE FUNCTION

Reed et al. (1999) found that STXBP3 was phosphorylated in vivo in permeabilized platelets activated by thrombin (176930). Phosphorylation occurred within 1 minute and increased after 10 minutes of stimulation. No phosphorylation was detected in nonactivated cells. Phosphorylation was blocked by a PKC inhibitor.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the STXBP3 gene to chromosome 1 (TMAP SHGC-75260).

ANIMAL MODEL

To clarify the physiologic function of STXBP3 in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 (SLC2A4; 138190) exocytosis, Kanda et al. (2005) generated mouse embryos deficient in the syntaxin-4 (see 186591)-binding protein Stxbp3 and developed Stxbp3 -/- adipocytes from their mesenchymal fibroblasts. The insulin-induced appearance of Glut4 at the cell surface was enhanced in Stxbp3 -/- adipocytes compared to +/+ cells. Wortmannin, an inhibitor of PI3K, inhibited insulin-stimulated Glut4 externalization in +/+ but not -/- adipocytes. Kanda et al. (2005) suggested that disruption of the interaction between syntaxin-4 and STXBP3 in adipocytes might result in enhancement of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 externalization. ... More on the omim web site
