Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the RS1 gene encoding retinoschisin cause X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), a hereditary retinal dystrophy in males. While most of the XLRS associated mutations strongly interfere with cellular secretion, this is not true for mutants RS1-F108C, -R141G, -R141H, -R182C, -H207Q and -R209H. Native retinoschisin builds double-octamers and binds to retinal membranes, interacting with the retinal...
