Overview of Gene Research
Ppp2r3c, encoding the B″gamma regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), is a serine/threonine phosphatase involved in phospho-regulation processes in most mammalian cell types [3]. It has key functions in centrosome function, as part of a phospho-regulatory module with MAP3K1, and is also associated with the Hedgehog signaling pathway and P-glycoprotein regulation [1,5,4]. It is highly expressed in the testis and is crucial for normal development [3].
Functional genomic analyses and gene-knockout-related evidence show its significance. In mouse models, homozygous Ppp2r3c knockout embryos die from 7.5 days post coitum or earlier, indicating its essential role in mouse development [7]. In humans, inactivating Ppp2r3c mutations cause congenital syndromes characterized by gonadal dysgenesis, affecting both 46,XY and 46,XX individuals [2,6,7]. These mutations also lead to a spectrum of extragonadal anomalies [3,6]. A syndromic Ppp2r3c variant shows defective centriolar localization and binding to centriolar protein FOP, suggesting imbalanced MAP3K1-Ppp2r3c activity causes these disorders [1].
In conclusion, Ppp2r3c is essential for normal development, with its function in the centrosomal phospho-regulatory module being crucial. Studies using gene-knockout models in mice have revealed its role in embryonic viability, and in humans, its inactivation is linked to gonadal dysgenesis and associated syndromes. This understanding provides insights into the pathophysiology of related diseases and potential therapeutic targets.
