SIL1
MIM.608005 5q31
SIL1 encodes a nucleotide exchange factor for the heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) chaperone HSPA5.
SIL1 (also called BAP) acts as a nucleotide exchange factor for the Hsp70 chaperone BiP (also called GRP78), which is a key regulator of the main functions of the endoplasmic reticulum.
SIL1 is a resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) glycoprotein that interacts with the ATPase domain of BIP (HSPA5) (MIM.138120) and enhances nucleotide exchange.
Pathology
germline mutations of the SIL1 gene in Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome
- Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome associates cerebellar ataxia, congenital cataracts, and retarded somatic and mental maturation.
- loss-of-function mutations in SIL1 (#16282978#)
- disturbed SIL1-HSPA5 interaction and protein folding is the primary pathology in Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome.
