Summary
BBS10 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10, HGNC:26291) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q21.2, encoding BBSome complex assembly protein BBS10 (Q8TAM1). Probable molecular chaperone that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis.
This gene is a member of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) gene family. Bardet-Biedl syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive retinal degeneration, obesity, polydactyly, renal malformation and cognitive disability. The proteins encoded by BBS gene family members are structurally diverse and the similar phenotypes exhibited by mutations in BBS gene family members is likely due to their shared roles in cilia formation and function. Many BBS proteins localize to the basal bodies, ciliary axonemes, and pericentriolar regions of cells. BBS proteins may also be involved in intracellular trafficking via microtubule-related transport. The protein encoded by this gene is likely not a ciliary protein but rather has distant sequence homology to type II chaperonins. As a molecular chaperone, this protein may affect the folding or stability of other ciliary or basal body proteins. Inhibition of this protein’s expression impairs ciliogenesis in preadipocytes. Mutations in this gene cause Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 10.

BBSome complex assembly protein BBS10 — Q8TAM1 (reviewed: Q8TAM1)
Alternative names: Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10 protein
All UniProt accessions (1): Q8TAM1
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Probable molecular chaperone that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis. Plays a role in the assembly of BBSome, a complex involved in ciliogenesis regulating transports vesicles to the cilia. Involved in adipogenic differentiation.
Subunit / interactions. Component of a complex composed at least of MKKS, BBS10, BBS12, TCP1, CCT2, CCT3, CCT4, CCT5 and CCT8.
Subcellular location. Cell projection. Cilium.
Disease relevance. Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10 (BBS10) [MIM:615987] A syndrome characterized by usually severe pigmentary retinopathy, early-onset obesity, polydactyly, hypogenitalism, renal malformation and intellectual disability. Secondary features include diabetes mellitus, hypertension and congenital heart disease. Bardet-Biedl syndrome inheritance is autosomal recessive, but three mutated alleles (two at one locus, and a third at a second locus) may be required for clinical manifestation of some forms of the disease. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. Adipocytes derived from BBS-patients’ dermal fibroblasts in culture exhibit higher propensity for fat accumulation when compared to controls. This strongly suggests that a peripheral primary dysfunction of adipogenesis participates in the pathogenesis of obesity in BBS.
Similarity. Belongs to the TCP-1 chaperonin family.
