Overview of Gene Research
Cln6, associated with Batten disease, encodes a 311-amino-acid transmembrane protein residing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) [6]. It is involved in lysosome biogenesis as part of the CLN6-CLN8 complex (EGRESS), which recruits lysosomal enzymes at the ER for Golgi transfer [3]. Dysfunction in Cln6 leads to lysosomal storage disorders, particularly a form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) [1,2,4,5,6,7].
In nclf mice (a natural mouse model for Cln6-related NCL), Cln6 deficiency causes a reduction in the protein amounts of selected lysosomal proteins, many of which are N-glycosylated, soluble hydrolases [1]. In Cln6 mutant mice, a single intracerebroventricular injection of a self-complementary adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (scAAV9) vector expressing the human Cln6 gene at post-natal day 1 prevented or reduced pathological hallmarks of Batten disease, improved motor performance, learning and memory deficits, and extended survival [8].
In conclusion, Cln6 is crucial for lysosome biogenesis by facilitating the transfer of lysosomal enzymes from the ER to the Golgi. Research using Cln6-deficient mouse models has significantly advanced our understanding of Cln6-related NCLs, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies such as gene therapy [8].
