MGI Phenotype |
FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with mental retardation, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010] PHENOTYPE: Spontaneous mutant homozygotes have ataxia, dystonia, muscular atrophy, progressive paralysis, Purkinje cell loss, in some cases severe head-tossing and for severe alleles, juvenile lethality. A mild, semidominant ENU allele causes deafness of variable penetrance and severity and mild tremor. [provided by MGI curators]

Phenotypic Description |
The nymph phenotype was identified among N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-mutagenized G3 mice of the pedigree R0967, some of which exhibited decreased body weights when compensating for age and sex (Figure 1). These mice also had a mild tremor and an ataxic gait (Figure 2).
|
Nature of Mutation |
Whole exome HiSeq sequencing of the G1 grandsire identified 40 mutations. The decreased body weight was linked to a mutation in Scn8a: an A to G transition at base pair 101,035,646 (v38) on chromosome 15, or base pair 165,824 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000081. Linkage was found with a recessive model of inheritance, wherein 4 homozygous variant mice departed phenotypically from 14 homozygous reference mice and 15 heterozygous mice with a P value of 1.051 x 10-5 (Figure 3). The mutation corresponds to residue 4,883 in the mRNA sequence NM_001077499 within exon 26 of 27 total exons. 4867 TTTGCCTTGAGACACTACTATTTCACCATTGGC
1572 -F--A--L--R--H--Y--Y--F--T--I--G- The mutated nucleotide is indicated in red. The mutation results in a tyrosine (Y) to cysteine (C) substitution at amino acid 1577 (Y1577C) in the SCN8A protein, and is strongly predicted by Polyphen-2 to be probably damaging (score = 1.000).

Protein Prediction |
Scn8a encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel SCN8A (alternatively, Nav1.6) (Figure 4). Voltage-gated sodium channels are essential for the initiation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and excitable cells by mediating the rapid influx of sodium. Nav1.6 contains four homologous domains (I-IV) that each consist of six transmembrane α-helices (S1-S6) (1;2). The S4 helices constitute the voltage sensors of the channel. A membrane reentrant extracellular loop (i.e., the pore loop) is located between S5 and S6 in each of the four domains and lines the extracellular, narrow entrance to the pore (3;4). The S5 and S6 helices line the intracellular, wider exit of the pore, while amino acids (F1752 and Y1759) in in the S6 helix contribute to drug binding (5;6). The nymph mutation (Y1577C) is within the cytoplasmic domain between the S2 and S3 helices of repeat IV. For more information about Scn8a, please see the record for TremorD.

Putative Mechanism | Mutations in Scn8a (e.g., Scn8amed, MGI:1856078; Scn8amed-tg, MGI:1856414; Scn8amed-J, MGI:1856079) lead to a range of neurological disorders in mice such as tremor, ataxia, early-onset progressive paralysis of the hind limbs, severe muscle atrophy, degeneration of Purkinje cells, and juvenile lethality (7). Loss of Scn8a expression in Scn8amed homozygous mice resulted in reduced conduction velocity of the sciatic nerve between postnatal day 17 and 23 and subsequent failure of transmission at the neuromuscular junction and muscle denervation (8-10). Reduced body weights (at all ages) have been observed in another Scn8a ENU mutant model, Scn8aClth (cloth-ears; MGI:3827095) mice (11).
