CTNNA1

Also known as CAP102
Summary
CTNNA1 (catenin alpha 1, HGNC:2509) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q31.2, encoding Catenin alpha-1 (P35221). Associates with the cytoplasmic domain of a variety of cadherins. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a member of the catenin family of proteins that play an important role in cell adhesion process by connecting cadherins located on the plasma membrane to the actin filaments inside the cell. The encoded mechanosensing protein contains three vinculin homology domains and undergoes conformational changes in response to cytoskeletal tension, resulting in the reconfiguration of cadherin-actin filament connections. Certain mutations in this gene cause butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy.

Function. Associates with the cytoplasmic domain of a variety of cadherins. The association of catenins to cadherins produces a complex which is linked to the actin filament network, and which seems to be of primary importance for cadherins cell-adhesion properties. Can associate with both E- and N-cadherins. Originally believed to be a stable component of E-cadherin/catenin adhesion complexes and to mediate the linkage of cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton at adherens junctions. In contrast, cortical actin was found to be much more dynamic than E-cadherin/catenin complexes and CTNNA1 was shown not to bind to F-actin when assembled in the complex suggesting a different linkage between actin and adherens junctions components. The homodimeric form may regulate actin filament assembly and inhibit actin branching by competing with the Arp2/3 complex for binding to actin filaments. Involved in the regulation of WWTR1/TAZ, YAP1 and TGFB1-dependent SMAD2 and SMAD3 nuclear accumulation. May play a crucial role in cell differentiation.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer and homodimer; the monomer preferentially binds to CTNNB1 and the homodimer to actin. Component of an cadherin:catenin adhesion complex composed of at least of CDH26, beta-catenin/CTNNB1, alpha-catenin/CTNNA1 and p120 catenin/CTNND1. Possible component of an E-cadherin/ catenin adhesion complex together with E-cadherin/CDH1 and beta-catenin/CTNNB1 or gamma-catenin/JUP; the complex is located to adherens junctions. The stable association of CTNNA1 is controversial as CTNNA1 was shown not to bind to F-actin when assembled in the complex. Alternatively, the CTNNA1-containing complex may be linked to F-actin by other proteins such as LIMA1. Binds AFDN and F-actin. Interacts with ARHGAP21. Interacts with AJUBA. Interacts with LIMA1. Interacts with vinculin/VCL. Interacts with TJP2/ZO2 (via N-terminus). Interacts with TJP1/ZO1 (via N-terminus).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell junction. Adherens junction. Cell membrane. Nucleus Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues. Abundantly expressed in brain and cerebellum, also expressed in the placenta, liver, lung, colon, heart, pancreas, stomach and thymus.
Post-translational modifications. Sumoylated. Phosphorylation seems to contribute to the strength of cell-cell adhesion rather than to the basic capacity for cell-cell adhesion.
Disease relevance. Germline CTNNA1 truncating mutations have been detected in patients with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and may play a role in disease susceptibility. Diffuse gastric cancer is a malignant disease characterized by poorly differentiated infiltrating lesions resulting in thickening of the stomach. Malignant tumors start in the stomach, can spread to the esophagus or the small intestine, and can extend through the stomach wall to nearby lymph nodes and organs. It also can metastasize to other parts of the body. Macular dystrophy, patterned, 2 (MDPT2) [MIM:608970] A form of retinal patterned dystrophy, a heterogeneous group of macular disorders caused by abnormal accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium. Lipofuscin distribution can show various shapes that define different types of macular dystrophy, including reticular (fishnet-like) dystrophy, macroreticular (spider-shaped) dystrophy and butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy. MDPT2 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by bilateral accumulation of pigment in the macular area that resembles the wings of a butterfly. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. Expressed at high levels in the nervous system. Lacks the beta-catenin interaction domain.
Similarity. Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
