Summary
OPHN1 (oligophrenin 1, HGNC:8148) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq12, encoding Oligophrenin-1 (O60890). Stimulates GTP hydrolysis of members of the Rho family. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a Rho-GTPase-activating protein that promotes GTP hydrolysis of Rho subfamily members. Rho proteins are important mediators of intracellular signal transduction, which affects cell migration and cell morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are responsible for OPHN1-related X-linked cognitive disability with cerebellar hypoplasia and distinctive facial dysmorhphism.

Function. Stimulates GTP hydrolysis of members of the Rho family. Its action on RHOA activity and signaling is implicated in growth and stabilization of dendritic spines, and therefore in synaptic function. Critical for the stabilization of AMPA receptors at postsynaptic sites. Critical for the regulation of synaptic vesicle endocytosis at presynaptic terminals. Required for the localization of NR1D1 to dendrites, can suppress its repressor activity and protect it from proteasomal degradation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with HOMER1. Interacts with AMPA receptor complexes. Interacts with SH3GL2 (endophilin-A1). Interacts (via C-terminus) with NR1D1.
Subcellular location. Postsynapse. Presynapse. Cell projection. Axon. Dendritic spine. Dendrite. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, X-linked, syndromic, Billuart type (MRXSBL) [MIM:300486] A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRXSBL patients manifest intellectual disability associated with cerebellar hypoplasia and distinctive facial dysmorphism. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
