Overview

This report describes a Drosophila model using the fly gene e(y)3 to model intellectual developmental disorder(s) caused by disruption of SWI/SNF complexes. Multiple genes within the SWI/SNF family have been implicated in a form of syndromic intellectual disability designated Coffin-Siris syndrome (see FBhh0001088). Dmel\e(y)3 encodes a component of some SWI/SNF complexes; these complexes regulate transcription via chromatin remodeling. The e(y)3 protein is not a core member of this family of complexes: it encodes a component of the polybromo-containing SWI/SNF complex (PBAP, analogous to PBAF in human). One classical hypomorphic allele, RNAi-targeting constructs, and alleles caused by insertional mutagenesis have been generated for e(y)3.

Dmel\e(y)3 is orthologous to the human gene PHF10; there are no diseases associated with this gene in OMIM. PHF10 is a component of the Polybromo-associated complex (PBAF in human) and has also been reported to be a component of a specific neural progenitor BAF (npBAF).

Animals homozygous for a loss-of-function mutation of e(y)3 die during the embryonic stage. RNAi-targeted knockdown of e(y)3 in the mushroom body (a brain region associated with learning and memory) causes male flies not to reduce courtship attempts after being rejected by a female, a measure of memory formation in flies. Both short-term and long-term memory impairment are observed. Defects in mushroom body morphology are observed, including defects in pruning of the MBγ neurons during pupal morphogenesis. Physical and genetic interactions of Dmel\e(y)3 have been described; see below and in the e(y)3 gene report.

Disease Summary Information
Parent Disease Summary: Coffin-Siris syndrome
Symptoms and phenotype

Coffin-Siris syndrome is a multiple malformation syndrome characterized by mental retardation associated with coarse facial features, hypertrichosis, sparse scalp hair, and hypoplastic or absent fifth fingernails or toenails. Other more variable features may include poor overall growth, craniofacial abnormalities, spinal anomalies, and congenital heart defects (review by Vergano and Deardorff, 2014; pubmed:25169447). [from MIM:135900; 2019.07.19]

Molecular information

PHF10 encodes a protein involved in transcription activity regulation by chromatin remodeling. As a component of a neural-progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex), it is required for the proliferation of neural progenitors. [Gene Cards, PHF10; 2019.07.22]

      Gene Snapshot
      enhancer of yellow 3 (e(y)3) encodes a nuclear protein required for embryogenesis and oogenesis. It participates in gene activation in euchromatin as a component of both the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and the TFIID transcription coactivator. It also contributes to gene silencing in pericentric heterochromatin and is also a coactivator in the JAK/STAT pathway. [Date last reviewed: 2019-09-26]
