Supplementary information

Spectrin beta 5 also known as SPTBN5 or SPFH2 is a part of the spectrin family of proteins. It functions as a cytoskeletal protein that contributes to stabilizing cellular structures. This protein has a mass of about 280 kDa and plays a significant role in maintaining the structural integrity of the plasma membrane. Spectrin beta 5 is expressed in a variety of tissues but it is known for its presence in the brain where it is involved in supporting neuronal organization.
Biological function summary

Spectrin beta 5 helps organize the cytoskeletal matrix by linking actin filaments creating a network that supports cellular architecture. It does not act alone but rather as part of the spectrin-actin complex. This complex is essential for sustaining the elasticity and durability of the membrane contributing to processes like cell shape maintenance and signal transduction. Its association with microtubules further extends its role in intracellular transport and mechanical stability.

Pathways

This protein integrates with cellular pathways that manage the structural dynamics of cells. Spectrin beta 5 participates in pathways related to cytoskeleton reorganization and membrane stabilization. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like ankyrin and actin facilitating their roles in cellular resilience and integrity. It significantly impacts the spectrin/ankyrin pathway which is critical for anchoring membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton.

Spectrin beta 5 has been associated with neurological disorders where its function or expression may be disrupted. Malfunctions in its cytoskeletal role can contribute to conditions like neurodegenerative diseases and epilepsy. This protein is connected to other spectrin family proteins such as spectrin alpha which are involved in similar disease pathways due to shared functions in maintaining neuronal stability and communication.
