The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Most affected individuals have defects in methylation of the gene. In some cases microdeletions involving the STX16 appear to cause loss of methylation at exon A/B of GNAS, resulting in PHP1B. Paternal uniparental isodisomy have also been observed.

FunctionGNAS2_HUMAN Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) function as transducers in numerous signaling pathways controlled by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) (PubMed:17110384). Signaling involves the activation of adenylyl cyclases, resulting in increased levels of the signaling molecule cAMP (PubMed:26206488, PubMed:8702665). GNAS functions downstream of several GPCRs, including beta-adrenergic receptors (PubMed:21488135). Stimulates the Ras signaling pathway via RAPGEF2 (PubMed:12391161).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] GNAI1_HUMAN Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as modulators or transducers in various transmembrane signaling systems. The G(i) proteins are involved in hormonal regulation of adenylate cyclase: they inhibit the cyclase in response to beta-adrenergic stimuli. The inactive GDP-bound form prevents the association of RGS14 with centrosomes and is required for the translocation of RGS14 from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. May play a role in cell division.[6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedMembers of the melanocortin receptor (MCR) family that recognize different melanocortin peptides mediate a broad spectrum of cellular processes including energy homeostasis, inflammation and skin pigmentation through five MCR subtypes (MC1R-MC5R). The structural basis of subtype selectivity of the endogenous agonist gamma-MSH and non-selectivity of agonist alpha-MSH remains elusive, as the two agonists are highly similar with a conserved HFRW motif. Here, we report three cryo-electron microscopy structures of MC3R-G(s) in complex with gamma-MSH and MC5R-G(s) in the presence of alpha-MSH or a potent synthetic agonist PG-901. The structures reveal that alpha-MSH and gamma-MSH adopt a "U-shape" conformation, penetrate into the wide-open orthosteric pocket and form massive common contacts with MCRs via the HFRW motif. The C-terminus of gamma-MSH occupies an MC3R-specific complementary binding groove likely conferring subtype selectivity, whereas that of alpha-MSH distances itself from the receptor with neglectable contacts. PG-901 achieves the same potency as alpha-MSH with a shorter length by rebalancing the recognition site and mimicking the intra-peptide salt bridge in alpha-MSH by cyclization. Solid density confirmed the calcium ion binding in MC3R and MC5R, and the distinct modulation effects of divalent ions were demonstrated. Our results provide insights into ligand recognition and subtype selectivity among MCRs, and expand the knowledge of signal transduction among MCR family members.
