Biochemical analysis of Angelman syndrome-associated mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase E6-associated protein.

Abstract excerpt

Angelman syndrome is a severe neurological disorder characterized by mental retardation, absent speech, ataxia, seizures, and hyperactivity. The gene affected in this disorder is UBE3A, the gene encoding the E6-associated protein (E6AP) ubiquitin-protein ligase. Most patients have chromosomal deletions that remove the entire maternal allele of UBE3A. However, a small subset of patients have E6AP point mutations...
