MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a protein which is similar to the Drosophila crumbs protein and localizes to the inner segment of mammalian photoreceptors. In Drosophila crumbs localizes to the stalk of the fly photoreceptor and may be a component of the molecular scaffold that controls proper development of polarity in the eye. Mutations in this gene are associated with a severe form of retinitis pigmentosa, RP12, and with Leber congenital amaurosis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants, some protein coding and some non-protein coding.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show focal retinal lesions, loss of adherens junctions between photoreceptors and Muller glia cells, and light-accelerated retinal degeneration. Homozygotes for a spontaneous allele show background-sensitive retinal spotting, photoreceptor dysplasia and degeneration. [provided by MGI curators]

Protein Function and Prediction

CRB1 is a homologue to Drosophila Crumbs, a protein that establishes apico-basal polarity in ectoderm-derived epithelia (1).  Crb1 is proposed to function in cell-cell interaction and in the maintenance of cell polarity in the retina (2).  The Drosophila homologue of CRB1, crumbs, is involved in the morphogenesis of the photoreceptors of the retina (3).  Crumbs is also a part of a scaffold that controls zonula adherens assembly and defines the stalk as an apical membrane subdomain (3).

Expression/Localization

Northern blot analysis detected the CRB1 transcript in neural retina; RT-PCR detected CRB1 in adult and fetal brain (2). In situ hybridization of mouse tissues determined that Crb1 is expressed exclusively in the eye and the brain; in post-natal stages, Crb1 is strongly detected in photoreceptor cells (4).

Background

Mutations in CRB1 are associated with retinal phenotypes (Table 1).

Progressive retinal degeneration; symptoms include night blindness, the development of tunnel vision, slowly progressive decreased central vision starting at approximately 20 years of age, decreased visual acuity, constricted visual fields, dyschromatopsia, and dark pigmentary clumps in the midperiphery and perivenous areas ('bone spicules'), attenuated retinal vessels, cystoid macular edema, fine pigmented vitreous cells, and waxy optic disc pallor

involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6

In homozygotes, light exposure accelerates retinal degeneration (8).  Retinal degeneration is observable by 3 months (8).  Also, photoreceptor cells form half rosettes and double layers that rupture outer membrane layer and protrude into interphotoreceptor space (8).

STOCK Crb1rd8/J

Homozygous mice have irregularly shaped spots concentrated in the inferior nasal quadrant of the fundus as early as week 3 that correspond to retinal folds and pseudorosettes, retinal thinning, abnormal Muller cell morphology, breakdown of the photoreceptor lamellae, decreased photoreceptor cell number, swelling and disorder of the photoreceptor inner segments, and degeneration of the photoreceptor outer segments by week 10 (9).

involves: C57BL/6N

Homozygotes in this genetic background have retinal pigment epithelium vacuolation, retinal lesions and spots, and diffuse lesions by 6 weeks (10).

B6.Cg-Crb1rd8

In this genetic background, mice do not display the spotting phenotype when backcrossed from a CAST/EiJ background onto a C57BL/6 background (9).

Crb1rd8/rd8; MGI:2676366

involves: C3HfB6/Ga * C57BL/6 * CAST/EiJ

In this genetic background, 19% of mice do not display the spotting phenotype on a CAST/EiJ mixed background (9).
