TUSC3

protein-coding

tumor suppressor candidate 3, the group of Oligosaccharyltransferase complex subunits|Solute carrier family 58

Gene summary

This gene encodes a protein that has been associated with several biological functions including cellular magnesium uptake, protein glycosylation and embryonic development. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and acts as a component of the oligosaccharyl transferase complex which is responsible for N-linked protein glycosylation. This gene is a candidate tumor suppressor gene. Homozygous mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mental retardation-7 and in the proliferation and invasiveness of several cancers including metastatic pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and glioblastoma multiform.

TUSC3 was first reported in relation to autosomal recessive Intellectual disability in 2008 (Molinari et al. and Garshasbi et al., PMIDs: 18455129, 18452889). At least 9 unique variants (missense, nonsense, large deletions, etc.) have been reported in humans. Of note, large deletions cannot be entered into the Gene Curation Interface at this time but have been observed in probands with Intellectual disability (PMIDs: 28397838, 18452889, 23825019). Case-level evidence supports this gene-disease relationship. In summary, TUSC3 is definitively associated with autosomal recessive Intellectual disability. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_006765.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Acts as accessory component of the N-oligosaccharyl transferase (OST) complex which catalyzes the transfer of a high mannose oligosaccharide from a lipid-linked oligosaccharide donor to an asparagine residue within an Asn-X-Ser/Thr consensus motif in nascent polypeptide chains. Involved in N-glycosylation of STT3B-dependent substrates. Specifically required for the glycosylation of a subset of acceptor sites that are near cysteine residues; in this function seems to act redundantly with MAGT1. In its oxidized form proposed to form transient mixed disulfides with a glycoprotein substrate to facilitate access of STT3B to the unmodified acceptor site. Has also oxidoreductase-independent functions in the STT3B-containing OST complex possibly involving substrate recognition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25135935, ECO:0000305|PubMed:12887896, ECO:0000305|PubMed:24685145}.;
