Summary
MAGEL2 (MAGE family member L2, HGNC:6814) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q11.2, encoding MAGE-like protein 2 (Q9UJ55). Probably enhances ubiquitin ligase activity of RING-type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases, possibly through recruitment and/or stabilization of the Ubl-conjugating enzyme (E2) at the E3:substrate complex.
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by the loss of expression of imprinted genes in chromosome 15q11-q13 region. Affected individuals exhibit neonatal hypotonia, developmental delay, and childhood-onset obesity. Necdin (NDN), a gene involved in the terminal differentiation of neurons, localizes to this region of the genome and has been implicated as one of the genes responsible for the etiology of PWS. This gene is structurally similar to NDN, is also localized to the PWS chromosomal region, and is paternally imprinted, suggesting a possible role for it in PWS.

Function. Probably enhances ubiquitin ligase activity of RING-type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases, possibly through recruitment and/or stabilization of the Ubl-conjugating enzyme (E2) at the E3:substrate complex. Acts as a regulator of retrograde transport via its interaction with VPS35. Recruited to retromer-containing endosomes and promotes the formation of ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitin chains at ‘Lys-220’ of WASHC1 together with TRIM27, leading to promote endosomal F-actin assembly. Regulates the circadian clock by repressing the transcriptional activator activity of the CLOCK-BMAL1 heterodimer. Significantly promotes the cytoplasmic accumulation of CLOCK.
Subunit / interactions. Part of a complex consisting of MAGEL2, TRIM27 and USP7; directly interacts with USP7. Interacts with TRIM27. Interacts with VPS35; leading to recruitment at retromer-containing endosomes. Interacts with BMAL1 and PER2.
Subcellular location. Early endosome. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in placenta, fetal and adult brain. Not detected in heart and small intestine, very low levels in fibroblasts. Not expressed in brain of a Prader-Willi patient.
Disease relevance. Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SHFYNG) [MIM:615547] A disease characterized by clinical features of Prader-Willi syndrome, including neonatal hypotonia with poor suck, feeding problems in infancy, obesity, developmental delay, short stature, and hypogonadism. Additionally, patients manifest autism spectrum disorder. Some patients have dysmorphic facial features. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. All mutations occurred on the paternal allele.
Miscellaneous. Imprinted, expressed from the paternal chromosome only.
