- Ferguson C, Lenk G, Jones J, Grant A, Winters J, Dowling J, et al. Neuronal expression of Fig4 is both necessary and sufficient to prevent spongiform neurodegeneration. Hum Mol Genet. 2012;21:3525-34 pubmed publisher..The data demonstrate that expression of Fig4 in neurons is necessary and sufficient to prevent spongiform degeneration. Therapy for patients with FIG4 deficiency will therefore require correction of the deficiency in neurons. ..
- Winters J, Ferguson C, Lenk G, Giger Mateeva V, Shrager P, Meisler M, et al. Congenital CNS hypomyelination in the Fig4 null mouse is rescued by neuronal expression of the PI(3,5)P(2) phosphatase Fig4. J Neurosci. 2011;31:17736-51 pubmed publisherThe plt (pale tremor) mouse carries a null mutation in the Fig4(Sac3) gene that results in tremor, hypopigmentation, spongiform degeneration of the brain, and juvenile lethality...
- Bridges D, Ma J, Park S, Inoki K, Weisman L, Saltiel A. Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate plays a role in the activation and subcellular localization of mechanistic target of rapamycin 1. Mol Biol Cell. 2012;23:2955-62 pubmed publisher..Furthermore, the mTORC1 component Raptor directly interacts with PI(3,5)P(2). Together these results suggest that PI(3,5)P(2) is an essential mTORC1 regulator that defines the localization of the complex. ..

Hum Mol Genet. 2016;25:340-7 pubmed publisher..The late onset phenotype of the NSE-Fig4(Cys486Ser) transgenic mice demonstrates that the phosphatase activity of FIG4 has an essential role in vivo. ..

J Biol Chem. 2004;279:46182-90 pubmedSaccharomyces Sac3 required for actin assembly was shown to be involved in DNA replication. Here, we studied the function of a mammalian homologue SHD1 in cell cycle progression...
- Reifler A, Lenk G, Li X, Groom L, Brooks S, Wilson D, et al. Murine Fig4 is dispensable for muscle development but required for muscle function. Skelet Muscle. 2013;3:21 pubmed publisher..Overall, these data indicate that loss of Fig4 impairs skeletal muscle function but does not significantly affect its structural development. ..

EMBO J. 2012;31:3442-56 pubmed publisher..Thus, VAC14, PI(3,5)P(2) and/or PI(5)P play a role in controlling postsynaptic function via regulation of endocytic cycling of AMPA receptors. ..
