we uncover ARL2 as a novel candidate gene for MRCS syndrome and suggest a mitochondria-related mechanism of the first ARL2 variant through site-directed mutagenesis studies.
Title: Whole-exome sequencing identified ARL2 as a novel candidate gene for MRCS (microcornea, rod-cone dystrophy, cataract, and posterior staphyloma) syndrome.
Results suggest that ELMOD2 is functioning as an effector downstream of ARL2 and upstream of the mitofusins to promote mitochondrial fusion. Data provide insights into the pathway by which mitochondrial fusion is regulated in the cell.
Title: ELMOD2 regulates mitochondrial fusion in a mitofusin-dependent manner, downstream of ARL2.
Decreased ARL2 expression level was clinically correlated to the higher grades and poorer outcomes of glioma patients. ARL2 overexpression attenuated the proliferation, clone formation, migration, invasive and tumorigenic capabilities of glioma cells by regulating the expression of receptor tyrosine kinase AXL.

conclude that the TBCD*ARL2*beta-tubulin complex represents a functional intermediate in the beta-tubulin folding pathway whose activity is regulated by the cycling of nucleotides on ARL2
Title: Nucleotide Binding to ARL2 in the TBCD∙ARL2∙β-Tubulin Complex Drives Conformational Changes in β-Tubulin.
Results identified ARL2 and TBCD, as important in tubulin folding and microtubule dynamics. Both ARL2 and TBCD also localize to centrosomes. A growing body of evidence also has found roles for ARL2 inside mitochondria, as a regulator of mitochondrial fusion, and in the traffic of farnesylated cargos between membranes and specifically to cilia and photoreceptor cells.

Title: Higher order signaling: ARL2 as regulator of both mitochondrial fusion and microtubule dynamics allows integration of 2 essential cell functions.
In conclusion, our study revealed that miR-214 acts as a tumor suppressor via inhibiting proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells through targeting ARL2, and that both miR-214 and ARL2 may serve as prognostic or therapeutic targets for cervical cancer.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
