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 engulfment and cell motility protein family. These proteins interact with dedicator of cytokinesis proteins to promote phagocytosis and cell migration. Increased expression of this gene and dedicator of cytokinesis 1 may promote glioma cell invasion, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with diabetic nephropathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013] PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired Sertoli cell phagocytosis of apoptotic male germ cells. [provided by MGI curators]

Phenotypic Description |
The debil phenotype was identified among G3 mice of the pedigree R6512, some of which showed increased frequencies of CD8+ T cells in CD3+ T cells (Figure 1) with concomitant reduced frequencies of central memory CD8 T cells in CD8 T cells (Figure 2) and NK cells (Figure 3) in the peripheral blood.
|
Nature of Mutation |
Whole exome HiSeq sequencing of the G1 grandsire identified 41 mutations. All of the above anomalies were linked by continuous variable mapping to a mutation in Elmo1: a T to C transition at base pair 20,373,161 (v38) on chromosome 13, or base pair 282,655 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000079 encoding Elmo1. The strongest association was found with a recessive model of inheritance to the normalized NK cell frequency, wherein 14 variant homozygotes departed phenotypically from 25 homozygous reference mice and 34 heterozygous mice with a P value of 6.542 x 10-7 (Figure 4). The mutation corresponds to residue 1,609 in the mRNA sequence NM_080288 within exon 15 of 22 total exons.

The mutated nucleotide is indicated in red. The mutation results in a leucine to proline substitution at position 424 (L424P) in the ELMO1 protein, and is strongly predicted by Polyphen-2 to cause loss of function (score = 1.000).

Protein Prediction |
ELMO1 (engulfment and cell motility protein 1; alternatively, CED-12) has an ELMO domain (amino acids 391 to 492), a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain (amino acids 555 to 676), and a Pro-rich SH3-binding motif (amino acids 707 to 714) (Figure 5). Amino acids 1 to 280 bind to RhoG (1), ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) proteins (2), and Salmonella IpgB1 (3). The function of the ELMO domain is unknown. PH domains domains bind proteins such as the beta/gamma subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins and protein kinase C as well as phosphatidylinositol within biological membranes. PH domains recruit proteins to different membranes, thus targeting them to appropriate cellular compartments or enabling them to interact with other components of the signal transduction pathways. The ELMO and PH domains as well as the SH3-binding motif as well as an α-helical extension of the PH domain mediate the interaction with DOCK180 (4-6). The debil mutation results in a leucine to proline substitution at position 424 (L424P) in the ELMO1 protein; residue 424 is within the ELMO domain. Please see the record Edinburg for more information about Elmo1.

Putative Mechanism | ELMO1 is an adaptor protein that interacts with members of the DOCK family (see the records frazz, moonlight, and snowdrop for information about DOCK2, DOCK7, and DOCK8, respectively) to promote the activation of the small GTPase RAC, phagocytosis, and cell migration (7-10). ELMO1 functions downstream of the phagocytic receptor BAI1 (see the record for bunting) during apoptotic cell clearance (11;12). BAI1 functions in the recognition and subsequent internalization of apoptotic cells (12). In macrophages, BAI1 functions as a pattern recognition receptor in the phagocytic uptake of Gram-negative bacteria (12). BAI1 interacts with ELMO1, which subsequently activates DOCK180 (13). ELMO1 functions in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated chemotaxis upon stimulation of CXCR4 and CCR7 (see the record for lanzhou) (14-16). CD4+ T cells from Elmo1-deficient (Elmo1-/-) mice exhibited impaired polarization, Rac activation, and chemotaxis in response to CCR7 and CXCR4 stimulation (15;16). GPCRs couple with a heterotrimeric G protein to mediate its downstream effects. G proteins, which consist of an α subunit that binds and hydrolyzes GTP (Gα), and β and γ subunits that are constitutively associated in a complex. Activation of chemokine receptors promotes an interaction between ELMO1 and Gβγ, which causes translocation of ELMO1 to the membrane. ELMO1/DOCK180 or ELMO1/DOCK2 subsequently activate Rac1. ELMO1 interacts with ERM proteins (2), which function in cell migration, cell adhesion, cell shape maintenance, and microvilli formation by cross-linking the plasma membrane with the actin cytoskeleton. ERM proteins are involved in cell cortex organization at two important stages of T lymphocyte physiology: during the polarization and migration in response to chemokines, and during the formation of the immunological synapse upon antigen recognition. Elmo1-deficient (Elmo1-/-; Elmo1tm1.2Ravi/tm1.2Ravi) mice are overtly normal (11). Elmo1-/- mice exhibited disrupted seminiferous epithelium, multinucleated giant cells, uncleared apoptotic germ cells, and decreased sperm output (11). A second Elmo1-/- mouse model (Elmo1tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi/tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi) exhibited reduced numbers of mature B cells, natural killer T cells, and CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells with concomitant increased numbers of effector memory CD4+ T cells. Some mice also exhibited decreased fasted circulating glucose levels. The phenotype of the debil mice indicate loss of ELMO1-associated function.
