Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a T to A transversion at position 699 of the Spata1 transcript in exon 6 of 15 total exons. Three transcripts of the Spata1 gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega. The mutated nucleotide introduces a premature stop codon at leucine 155 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

Protein Function and Prediction

The Spata1 gene encodes a 444 amino acid protein that may have a role in spermatogenesis. Two isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform 2 contains an alternative C-terminus and truncates at amino acid 114 (Uniprot Q9D5R4).

The premature stop introduced by the Frazz mutation in the Spata1 gene truncates 290 amino acids from the C-terminus of the protein. This allele is likely null.
