XK is a partner for VPS13A: a molecular link between Chorea-Acanthocytosis and McLeod Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

gene, suggesting that XK could be a partner protein for VPS13A. XK does, in fact, exhibit hallmarks of a VPS13A partner: it forms a complex with VPS13A in human cells and, when overexpressed, relocalizes VPS13A from lipid droplets to subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum. Introduction of two different ChAc disease-linked missense mutations into VPS13A prevents this XK-induced relocalization. These results...
