MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: The protein encoded by this gene is part of the tripartite-motif containing family (TRIM), which is typified by the RING, B-box type 1, B-box type 2, and coiled-coil region domains. In mouse this protein is proposed to oligomerize through its coiled coil domain and has been reported to be expressed in neural crest-derived tissues as well as in tissues whose development is regulated by mesenchymal-epithelial interactions. In humans, mutations in this gene are associated with mulibrey (muscle-liver-brain-eye) nanism, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by prenatal onset growth failure, cardiomyopathy and dysmorphic features. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are infertile due to gonadal degeneration and exhibit late-onset weight loss, smaller skull size, non-compaction cardiomyopathy, hepatomegaly, fatty liver, altered glucose metabolism, splenomegaly, and increased tumor incidence.

Nature of Mutation
DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to T transversion at position 693 of the Trim37 transcript in exon 5 of 24 total exons. Multiple transcripts of the Trim37 gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega. The mutated nucleotide causes a histidine to leucine substitution at amino acid 99 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
Protein Function and Prediction

The Trim37 gene encodes a 961 amino acid E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, a member of the RING B-box coiled-coil (RBCC) family of zinc finger proteins. The protein is found in peroxisomal vesicles and in a perinuclear region known as the aggresome where misfolded or aggregated proteins are sequestered for proteosomal degradation. TRIM37 contains a RING-type zinc finger at residues 15-55, a B box-type zinc finger at residues 90-132, two coiled coil domains at residues 132-234 and 419-450, and a meprin and TRAF homology (MATH) domain at residues 276-403 (Uniprot Q6PCX9). Mutations in this gene in humans causes mulibrey nanism (OMIM 253250), a disorder characterized by progressive growth failure.

The H99L change occurs in the B box-type zinc finger, and is predicted to be probably damaging by the PolyPhen program (see report).
