CHRNE
gene geneOn this page
Also known as ACHRE
Summary
CHRNE (cholinergic receptor nicotinic epsilon subunit, HGNC:1966) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.2, encoding Acetylcholine receptor subunit epsilon (Q04844). After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
Acetylcholine receptors at mature mammalian neuromuscular junctions are pentameric protein complexes composed of four subunits in the ratio of two alpha subunits to one beta, one epsilon, and one delta subunit. The acetylcholine receptor changes subunit composition shortly after birth when the epsilon subunit replaces the gamma subunit seen in embryonic receptors. Mutations in the epsilon subunit are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 26)
- two binding sites differ by roughly 10-fold in the affinity of the shut receptor for ACh in the wild type, and that in the epsilonL221F mutation the lower affinity is increased so the sites become more similar. (PMID:12562900)
- There was deletion in exon 7 of CHRNE. We cloned the entire CHRNE spanning 12 exons and 11 introns and expressed it in COS cells (PMID:14532324)
- It was found that mutations within muscle AChRs are the most common cause of CMS. The majority are located within the epsilon-subunit gene and result in AChR deficiency. (PMID:14592868)
- AChR epsilon-chain peptides are tested for their in vitro ability to activate peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients; MG patient cells are stimulated, whereas cells from nonmyasthenic subjects do not respond. (PMID:15652413)
- Reported is a patient with a congenital myasthenic syndrome due to two compound heterozygous mutations of the CHRNE gene. T (PMID:16087917)
- a patient with a slow-channel congenital myasthenic syndrome who carries a novel slow-channel mutation(novel valine to phenylalanine mutation ) in the epsilon subunit of the acetylcholine receptor. (PMID:16198106)
- the intrinsically high Ca2+ permeability of human AChRs probably predisposes to development of the endplate myopathy when opening events of the AChR channel are prolonged by altered AChR-channel kinetics (PMID:16527851)
- enhanced Ca2+ permeability of the mutant receptors overrides the protective effect of desensitization and, together with the prolonged opening events of the AChR channel, is important in slow channel syndromes (PMID:17272341)

Acetylcholine receptor subunit epsilon — Q04844 (reviewed: Q04844)
All UniProt accessions (2): A0A3B3IRM1, Q04844
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. After binding acetylcholine, the AChR responds by an extensive change in conformation that affects all subunits and leads to opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane.
Subunit / interactions. Pentamer of two alpha chains, and one each of the beta, delta, and gamma (in immature muscle) or epsilon (in mature muscle) chains. The muscle heteropentamer composed of alpha-1, beta-1, delta, epsilon subunits interacts with the alpha-conotoxin ImII.
Subcellular location. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell membrane.
Disease relevance. The muscle AChR is the major target antigen in the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is characterized by sporadic muscular fatigability and weakness, occurring chiefly in muscles innervated by cranial nerves, and characteristically improved by cholinesterase-inhibiting drugs. Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, 4A, slow-channel (CMS4A) [MIM:605809] A form of congenital myasthenic syndrome, a group of disorders characterized by failure of neuromuscular transmission, including pre-synaptic, synaptic, and post-synaptic disorders that are not of autoimmune origin. Clinical features are easy fatigability and muscle weakness affecting the axial and limb muscles (with hypotonia in early-onset forms), the ocular muscles (leading to ptosis and ophthalmoplegia), and the facial and bulbar musculature (affecting sucking and swallowing, and leading to dysphonia). The symptoms fluctuate and worsen with physical effort. CMS4A is a slow-channel myasthenic syndrome. It is caused by kinetic abnormalities of the AChR, resulting in prolonged AChR channel opening episodes, prolonged endplate currents, and depolarization block. This is associated with calcium overload, which may contribute to subsequent degeneration of the endplate and postsynaptic membrane. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, 4B, fast-channel (CMS4B) [MIM:616324] A form of congenital myasthenic syndrome, a group of disorders characterized by failure of neuromuscular transmission, including pre-synaptic, synaptic, and post-synaptic disorders that are not of autoimmune origin. Clinical features are easy fatigability and muscle weakness affecting the axial and limb muscles (with hypotonia in early-onset forms), the ocular muscles (leading to ptosis and ophthalmoplegia), and the facial and bulbar musculature (affecting sucking and swallowing, and leading to dysphonia). The symptoms fluctuate and worsen with physical effort. CMS4B is a fast-channel myasthenic syndrome. It is caused by kinetic abnormalities of the AChR, resulting in brief opening and activity of the channel, with a rapid decay in endplate current, failure to achieve threshold depolarization of the endplate and consequent failure to fire an action potential. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Myasthenic syndrome, congenital, 4C, associated with acetylcholine receptor deficiency (CMS4C) [MIM:608931] A form of congenital myasthenic syndrome, a group of disorders characterized by failure of neuromuscular transmission, including pre-synaptic, synaptic, and post-synaptic disorders that are not of autoimmune origin. Clinical features are easy fatigability and muscle weakness affecting the axial and limb muscles (with hypotonia in early-onset forms), the ocular muscles (leading to ptosis and ophthalmoplegia), and the facial and bulbar musculature (affecting sucking and swallowing, and leading to dysphonia). The symptoms fluctuate and worsen with physical effort. CMS4C is an autosomal recessive disorder of postsynaptic neuromuscular transmission, due to deficiency of AChR at the endplate that results in low amplitude of the miniature endplate potential and current. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Epsilon/CHRNE sub-subfamily.

Per-variant reference — Sugi Variant
Explore CHRNE’s pathogenic and likely-pathogenic variants individually — each with its ClinVar classification and conditions, applied ACMG criteria (ClinGen expert panel, where curated), the calibrated in-silico predictors (AlphaMissense, REVEL, SaProt, conservation), gnomAD frequency, and the predictor-disagreement QC signal — on Sugi Variant.
