MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene is a member of the type IV diacylglycerol kinase subfamily. Diacylglycerol kinases regulate the intracellular concentration of diacylglycerol through its phosphorylation, producing phosphatidic acid. The specific role of the enzyme encoded by this gene is undetermined, however, it may play a crucial role in the production of phosphatidic acid in the retina or in recessive forms of retinal degeneration.

PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are grossly normal and do not develop tumors when wounded or when exposed to phorbol ester. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to T transversion at base pair 36979851 in the Genbank genomic region NC_000072 for the Dgki gene on chromosome 6 (ATTCTTGCAG ->TTTCTTGCAG). Multiple transcripts of the Dgki gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega. The mutation is located within intron 14 from the ATG exon, ten nucleotides to the previous exon. The Dgki gene contains 104 total exons using Genbank record NM_001081206.1. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

Protein Function and Prediction

The Dgki gene encodes a 1071 amino acid diacylglycerol kinase (DGK). DGKs play a key role in cellular processes by regulating the intracellular concentration of the second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG). Human DGK-iota is predominantly expressed in the brain and retina. According to SMART analysis, the protein contains two DAG-binding C1 domains at residues 173-227, a DGK catalytic and accessory domain at residues 371-678, and two protein-interacting ANK repeats at residues 964-994 and 1006-1029. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are grossly normal and do not develop tumors when wounded or when exposed to phorbol ester.
