Summary
uniprot_summary refseq_summary
Catalyzes the reaction that attaches fucose through an O-glycosidic linkage to a conserved serine or threonine residue in the consensus sequence C1-X(2,3)-S/T-C2-X(2)-G of thrombospondin type 1 repeats where C1 and C2 are the first and second cysteines, respectively. O-fucosylates members of several protein families including the ADAMTS family, the thrombosporin (TSP) and spondin families. The O-fucosylation of TSRs is also required for restricting epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), maintaining the correct patterning of mesoderm and localization of the definite endoderm (By similarity). Required for the proper secretion of ADAMTS family members such as ADAMSL1 and ADAMST13. Fucose is typically found as a terminal modification of branched chain glycoconjugates, but it also exists in direct O-linkage to serine or threonine residues within cystine knot motifs in epidermal growth factor (EGF; MIM 131530)-like repeats or thrombospondin (THBS; see MIM 188060) type-1 repeats. POFUT2 is an O-fucosyltransferase that use THBS type-1 repeats as substrates (Luo et al., 2006
Assessment table
Caregory Description Value Value range ( Low - High ) Comment
PLI The probability of being loss-of-function (LoF) intolerant 0.011 [0, ..., 1] Genes with high pLI scores (pLI ≥ 0.9) are extremely LoF intolerant, whereby genes with low pLI scores (pLI ≤ 0.1) are LoF tolerant. The score is calculated based on high-quality exome sequence data (ExAC) for 60,706 individuals of diverse ethnicities.
Haploinsufficiency (HI) score rank Predicted probability of exhibiting haploinsufficiency [100, ..., 1] High ranks (e.g. 0-10%) indicate a gene is more likely to exhibit haploinsufficiency, low ranks (e.g. 90-100%) indicate a gene is more likely to NOT exhibit haploinsufficiency (DECIPHER, PMID: 20976243). haploinsufficiency means a single functional copy of a gene is insufficient to maintain its normal function and is extremely intolerant of LoF variation.
Gene brain expressed Queried gene is expressed in brain tissues True [False, True] The gene expression data are extracted from GTEx v7 and BrainSpan. A gene with the expression value of (log 2 based (TPM+1)) at least 1 TPM/RPKM/FPKM in one or more tissues related to the brain is considered brain-expressed.
Protein brain expressed Queried protein is expressed in brain tissues True [False, True] The protein expression data are extracted from ProteomicsDB (v2018.09). A protein with the expression value of (log based 10 (iBAQ intensity)) at least 0.5 in one or more tissues related to the brain is considered brain-expressed protein.
Carrying LoF DNMs Number of loss-of-function DNMs hit the queried gene 0
(Case)
[0, ..., 67] with average of 0.160 Loss of function (LoF) mutations include frameshift indels, nonsense (stop-gained) and splice-site mutations, which can result in the gene product having less or no function and can have deleterious consequences.
0
(Control)
[0, ..., 6] with average of 0.044
Carrying missense DNMs Number of missense DNMs hit the queried gene 0
(Case)
[0, ..., 55] with average of 0.846 Missense mutations can result in changes in protein sequences, but are commonly considered to have less deleterious impacts than LoF mutations.
0
(Control)
[0, ..., 21] with average of 0.300
FMRP binding targets FMRP inteacting parters False [False, True] FMRP loss of function causes Fragile X syndrome (FXS). The binding targets identified crosslinking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) in mouse brains (PMID:21784246). Many FMRP targets are among genes implicated in different neuropsychiatric diseases, such as autism, schizophrenia.
Postsynaptic density (PSD) Protein associates with postsynaptic membranes of excitatory synapses False [False, True] Abnormalities with PSD proteins are linked to various neuropsychiatric diseases including neurodevelopmental disorders.
Human essential genes - True [False, True] Genes are thought to be critical for human survival.
