Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nTBC1D31 has emerged as a key player in human development, as illustrated by its association with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). In a consanguineous family, a homozygous variant in TBC1D31 was identified, and three-dimensional protein modeling alongside molecular dynamics simulations predicted this variant to be pathogenic. This finding implicates TBC1D31 as an important component in the proper formation of the kidney and urinary tract, expanding the genetic spectrum of monogenic causes associated with CAKUT."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn a separate oncological context, TBC1D31 functions as a Rab GTPase activating protein that modulates key signaling pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Gene amplification at the chromosomal region 8q24.13 leads to overexpression of TBC1D31, which exacerbates HCC growth and metastasis. Mechanistically, TBC1D31 catalyzes GTP hydrolysis for Rab22A, thereby impeding Rab22A-mediated endolysosomal trafficking and degradation of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). This delay in EGFR turnover enhances EGFR signaling and contributes to increased cellular resistance to the therapeutic agent lenvatinib, highlighting TBC1D31 as a potential critical oncogene and therapeutic target in HCC."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Seha Saygılı, Can Koşukcu, Turgut Baştuğ, et al.
