Summary

SEPTIN9 (septin 9, HGNC:7323) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q25.3, encoding Septin-9 (Q9UHD8). Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase.

This gene is a member of the septin family involved in cytokinesis and cell cycle control. This gene is a candidate for the ovarian tumor suppressor gene. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy, also known as neuritis with brachial predilection. A chromosomal translocation involving this gene on chromosome 17 and the MLL gene on chromosome 11 results in acute myelomonocytic leukemia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Function. Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase. May play a role in cytokinesis (Potential). May play a role in the internalization of 2 intracellular microbial pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri.

Subunit / interactions. Septins polymerize into heterooligomeric protein complexes that form filaments, and associate with cellular membranes, actin filaments, and microtubules. GTPase activity is required for filament formation. Interacts with SEPTIN2, SEPTIN6, SEPTIN7, SEPTIN11 and SEPTIN14. Interacts with RTKN and ARHGEF18. In a mesenchymal cell line, Rho/RTKN signals cause disruption of wild-type septin filaments, but not of those containing isoform 2 variants HNA Trp-106 and Phe-111. In a mesenchymal cell line, isoform 2 variants HNA Trp-106 and Phe-111, but not wild type, form filaments with SEPTIN4.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Isoforms are differentially expressed in testes, kidney, liver heart, spleen, brain, peripheral blood leukocytes, skeletal muscle and kidney. Specific isoforms appear to demonstrate tissue specificity. Isoform 5 is the most highly expressed in fetal tissue. Isoform 1 is detected in all tissues except the brain and thymus, while isoform 2, isoform 3, and isoform 4 are detected at low levels in approximately half of the fetal tissues.

Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving SEPTIN9/MSF is found in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML). Translocation t(11;17)(q23;q25) with KMT2A/MLL1. Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA) [MIM:162100] Autosomal dominant form of recurrent focal neuropathy characterized clinically by acute, recurrent episodes of brachial plexus neuropathy with muscle weakness and atrophy preceded by severe pain in the affected arm. HNA is triggered by environmental factors such as infection or parturition. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Similarity. Belongs to the TRAFAC class TrmE-Era-EngA-EngB-Septin-like GTPase superfamily. Septin GTPase family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 121 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
