Supplementary information

USH2A also known as Usherin is a protein encoded by the USH2A gene. This protein has a mass of approximately 610 kDa. It is a large transmembrane protein found mainly in the retina and the inner ear. USH2A contains several modules including laminin EGF-like fibronectin type III and laminin G domains which contribute to its role in cellular adhesion and signal transduction. The protein localizes on the photoreceptor cells in the eye and plays a role in maintaining their structure.
Biological function summary

USH2A supports the structural integrity and function of photoreceptors and hair cells. It is not part of a known complex but interacts closely with other proteins in the extracellular matrix. The protein helps stabilize the connections between cells by interacting with cell-surface receptors. This interaction supports proper sensory perception by maintaining cell ellipsoid zones in the retina and stereocilia in the ear.

Pathways

The protein interacts within the Usher syndrome pathway and the visual cycle pathway. In these pathways it is closely related to other Usher syndrome-associated proteins such as ADGRV1 and WHRN. These proteins form networks that are essential for the maintenance of photoreceptor cells and sensory hair cells. USH2A contributes to the complex processes that are necessary for both vision and hearing.

USH2A mutations are linked to Usher syndrome type II and retinitis pigmentosa. Usher syndrome type II leads to moderate hearing loss and progressive vision loss while retinitis pigmentosa results in the degeneration of the retina. In these disorders other proteins such as MYO7A and CDH23 are also implicated but USH2A mutations have been identified as significant contributors especially to the degradation and dysfunction of sensory cells in the affected tissues.

Target data

Involved in hearing and vision as member of the USH2 complex. In the inner ear, required for the maintenance of the hair bundle ankle formation, which connects growing stereocilia in developing cochlear hair cells. In retina photoreceptors, the USH2 complex is required for the maintenance of periciliary membrane complex that seems to play a role in regulating intracellular protein transport.
