Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
18264947 Observational study of genotype prevalence. (HuGE Navigator)
14699612 Observational study of genotype prevalence. (HuGE Navigator)
16437572 Mild-onset presentation of Canavan's disease associated with novel G212A point mutation in aspartoacylase gene
12638939 the ASPA gene was analysed in 22 unrelated non-Jewish patients with Canavan disease, and 24 different mutations were found
16669630 molecular weight of the purified enzyme is higher than predicted, suggesting the presence of post-translational modifications. Deglycosylation of aspartoacylase or mutation at glycosylation site causes decreased enzyme stability and catalytic activity
17194761 the N-terminal domain of aspartoacylase adopts a protein fold similar to that of zinc-dependent hydrolases related to carboxypeptidases A
17391648 These results show that aspartoacylase is a member of the caboxypeptidase A family and offer novel explanations for most loss-of-function aspartoacylase mutations associated with Canavan Disease.
16935940 a green fluorescent protein-human ASPA fusion protein larger than the permissible size for the nuclear pore complex was enzymatically active and showed mixed nuclear-cytoplasmic distribution.
17027983 The finding that wild-type and Glu178Asp have the same K(m) but different k(cat) values confirms the idea that the carboxylate group contributes importantly to the enzymatic activity of aspartoacylase.
