Methionine sulfoxide reductases (MsrA and MsrB) protect the biological activity of proteins from oxidative modifications to methionine residues and are important for protecting against the pathological effects of neurodegenerative diseases. In the current study, we characterized the auditory
Methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MsrB3) is a protein repair enzyme that specifically reduces methionine-R-sulfoxide to methionine. A recent genetic study showed that the MSRB3 gene is associated with autosomal recessive hearing loss in human deafness DFNB74. However, the precise role of MSRB3 in
OBJECTIVE
Methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MsrB3), which stereospecifically repairs methionine-R-sulfoxide, is an important Msr protein that is associated with auditory function in mammals. MsrB3 deficiency leads to profound congenital hearing loss due to the degeneration of stereociliary bundles
The DFNB74 locus for autosomal-recessive, nonsyndromic deafness segregating in three families was previously mapped to a 5.36 Mb interval on chromosome 12q14.2-q15. Subsequently, we ascertained five additional consanguineous families in which deafness segregated with markers at this locus and
This review article describes and discusses the current knowledge on the general role of the methionine sulfoxide reductase (MSR) system and the particular role of MSR type A (MSRA) in mammals. A powerful tool to investigate the contribution of MSRA to molecular processes within a mammalian
The methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) family of proteins is a class of repair enzymes that reduce methionine-S (MsrA) or methionine-R (MsrB) sulfoxide to methionine. Recent studies have reported that mutations in the MSRB3 gene cause autosomal recessive hearing loss in humans, and in mice MsrB3
Hearing defects can significantly influence quality of life for those who experience them. At this time, 177 deafness genes have been cloned, including 134 non-syndromic hearing-loss genes. The methionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (Ahmed et al., 2011) gene (also called DFNB74) is one such newly
