VAPB Antibody

1. report on a novel mutation of p.Pro56His in VABP found in a Chinese familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis pedigree and description of the clinical characteristics of the family. PMID: 28993872
2. the component proteins of the machinery, OSBP, VAP, SAC1, and PITPNB, are all essential host factors for AiV replication. Importantly, the machinery is directly recruited to the RNA replication sites through previously unknown interactions of VAP/OSBP/SAC1 with the AiV proteins and with ACBD3. PMID: 29367253
3. Lifelong elevation of neuronal VAPB slowed the decline of neurological impairment, delayed denervation of hindlimb muscles, and prolonged survival of spinal motor neurons. PMID: 28173107
4. Study showed that alpha-synuclein perturbs endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria associations and that this involves disruption to the VAPB-PTPIP51 tethering proteins. Using a range of assays including immunoprecipitation, cellular glutathione S-transferase pull-down, proximity ligation and in vitro binding of recombinant proteins, study showed that alpha-synuclein is a direct binding partner for VAPB. PMID: 28337542

7. Effects of the combined absence of VAPA and VAPB in human cells were studied; cells lacking VAP accumulate high levels of PI4P, actin comets, and trans-Golgi proteins on endosomes. Such defects are mimicked by downregulation of OSBP, a VAP interactor and PI4P transporter that participates in VAP-dependent endoplasmic reticulum-endosomes tethers. PMID: 27419871

10. Heterozygous P56S Vapb knock-in mice show mild age-dependent defects in motor behaviors as characteristic features of the disease. The homozygous P56S Vapb knock-in mice show more severe defects compared with heterozygous mice reflecting the dominant and dose-dependent effects of P56S mutation. PMID: 26362257

18. Findings provide new pathophysiological mechanisms of P56S VAPB that differentially affect the function and survival of corticospinal and spinal motor neurons in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 8. PMID: 23771029
19. genetic screening for this mutation should be performed in all adult patients with lower motor neuron disease, regardless of family history because of the rarity of this disease, physicians often do not suspect it, and many cases may be missed in Brazil. PMID: 24212516
20. Partial or complete loss of VAPB function leads to motor deficit but is unable to trigger a full-blown amyotrophic lateral sclerosis phenotype. PMID: 23446633
21. this discovery provides a mechanism for ALS-causing VAPB mutants/variants to gain novel functions such as to mediate ER structure before significant accumulation of aggregates occurs. PMID: 23333387
22. These results suggest that changes in wild type VAPB do not play a significant role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases that are not caused by VAPB mutations PMID: 23281774
23. Transfection of a dominant-negative form of the AAA ATPase p97/VCP stabilizes mutant VAPB, suggesting a role for this ATPase in extracting the aggregated protein from the inclusions. PMID: 22611258
24. structual basis of VAPC binding to HCV NS5B PMID: 22815741
25. This study screened a cohort of 755 sporadic ALS patients, 111 familial ALS patients (97 families), and 765 control subjects of Dutch descent for mutations in vesicle-associated membrane protein B (VAPB). PMID: 22878164
26. VAPB promotes breast tumor growth by modulation of Akt activity. PMID: 23049696
