Summary

HTT (huntingtin, HGNC:4851) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4p16.3, encoding Huntingtin (P42858). May play a role in microtubule-mediated transport or vesicle function.

Huntingtin is a disease gene linked to Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons. This is thought to be caused by an expanded, unstable trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin gene, which translates as a polyglutamine repeat in the protein product. A fairly broad range of trinucleotide repeats (9-35) has been identified in normal controls, and repeat numbers in excess of 40 have been described as pathological. The huntingtin locus is large, spanning 180 kb and consisting of 67 exons. The huntingtin gene is widely expressed and is required for normal development. It is expressed as 2 alternatively polyadenylated forms displaying different relative abundance in various fetal and adult tissues. The larger transcript is approximately 13.7 kb and is expressed predominantly in adult and fetal brain whereas the smaller transcript of approximately 10.3 kb is more widely expressed. The genetic defect leading to Huntington’s disease may not necessarily eliminate transcription, but may confer a new property on the mRNA or alter the function of the protein. One candidate is the huntingtin-associated protein-1, highly expressed in brain, which has increased affinity for huntingtin protein with expanded polyglutamine repeats. This gene contains an upstream open reading frame in the 5’ UTR that inhibits expression of the huntingtin gene product through translational repression.

Function. May play a role in microtubule-mediated transport or vesicle function. Promotes the formation of autophagic vesicles.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PFN1. Interacts through its N-terminus with PRPF40A. Interacts with PQBP1. Interacts with SETD2. Interacts with SH3GLB1. Interacts with SYVN. Interacts with TPR; the interaction is inhibited by forms of Huntingtin with expanded polyglutamine stretch. Interacts with ZDHHC13 (via ANK repeats). Interacts with ZDHHC17 (via ANK repeats). Interacts with F8A1/F8A2/F8A3. Found in a complex with F8A1/F8A2/F8A3, HTT and RAB5A; mediates the recruitment of HTT by RAB5A.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Early endosome Cytoplasmic vesicle. Autophagosome.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in the brain cortex (at protein level). Widely expressed with the highest level of expression in the brain (nerve fibers, varicosities, and nerve endings). In the brain, the regions where it can be mainly found are the cerebellar cortex, the neocortex, the striatum, and the hippocampal formation.

Post-translational modifications. Cleaved by caspases downstream of the polyglutamine stretch. The resulting N-terminal fragments are cytotoxic and provokes apoptosis. Forms with expanded polyglutamine expansion are specifically ubiquitinated by SYVN1, which promotes their proteasomal degradation. Phosphorylation at Ser-1179 and Ser-1199 by CDK5 in response to DNA damage in nuclei of neurons protects neurons against polyglutamine expansion as well as DNA damage mediated toxicity. Myristoylated at Gly-551, following proteolytic cleavage at Asp-550.

Disease relevance. Huntington disease (HD) [MIM:143100] A neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary movements (chorea), general motor impairment, psychiatric disorders and dementia. Onset of the disease occurs usually in the third or fourth decade of life. Onset and clinical course depend on the degree of poly-Gln repeat expansion, longer expansions resulting in earlier onset and more severe clinical manifestations. Neuropathology of Huntington disease displays a distinctive pattern with loss of neurons, especially in the caudate and putamen. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Lopes-Maciel-Rodan syndrome (LOMARS) [MIM:617435] An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental regression in infancy, delayed psychomotor development, severe intellectual disability, and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. Additional features include swallowing problems, dystonia, bradykinesia, and continuous manual stereotypies without chorea. Some patients manifest seizures. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. The N-terminal Gln-rich and Pro-rich domain has great conformational flexibility and is likely to exist in a fluctuating equilibrium of alpha-helical, random coil, and extended conformations.

Polymorphism. The poly-Gln region of HTT is highly polymorphic (10 to 35 repeats) in the normal population and is expanded to about 36-120 repeats in Huntington disease patients. The repeat length usually increases in successive generations, but also contracts on occasion. The adjacent poly-Pro region is also polymorphic and varies between 7-12 residues. Polyglutamine expansion leads to elevated susceptibility to apopain cleavage and likely result in accelerated neuronal apoptosis.

Similarity. Belongs to the huntingtin family.

Per-variant reference — Sugi Variant

Explore HTT’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.

AlphaMissense

6,100 missense substitutions predicted likely pathogenic (of 20,487 scored), across 1,636 residues. Top 20 hotspot residues, ranked by the number of likely-pathogenic substitutions (of those reachable by a single-nucleotide change), then by mean score:
