A mutation in stratifin is responsible for the repeated epilation (Er) phenotype in mice

Abstract: Stratifin (Sfn, also called 14-3-3sigma) is highly expressed in differentiating epidermis and mediates cell cycle arrest. Sfn is repressed in cancer, but its function during development is uncharacterized. We identified an insertion mutation in the gene Sfn in repeated epilation (Er) mutant mice by positional cloning. Er/+ mice expressed a truncated Sfn protein, which probably contributes to the defects in Er/Er and Er/+ epidermis and to cancer development in Er/+ mice.

“…A radiation-induced mouse mutant strain known as Repeated-epilation (Er) exhibits a severe skin polarization defect resulting from the expression of a truncated form of 14-3-3σ (26,27). Consistent with these initial observations, targeted disruption of 14-3-3σ in mouse mammary gland results in a dramatic loss of epithelial polarity resulting from the absence of 14-3-3σ-dependent relocalization of the Par3 polarity complex to the apical surface (28).…”

“…The dramatic and reversible effects of 14-3-3σ on epithelial polarity are consistent with observations made with the Er mouse mutant that harbors a truncated version of 14-3-3σ. Mice heterozygous for this mutant form of 14-3-3σ possess severely disrupted epithelial stratification in the skin (26,27). The concept that genes involved in regulating polarity can impact on tumorigenesis is supported by several recent observations.…”

“…[11][12][13][14] Embryos from each of these groups exhibit shiny, taut skin stemming from the dysfunctional terminal differentiation of the epidermal keratinocytes, and similar limb and skeletal defects. Histological examination of the epidermis of Irf6 null embryos revealed an expanded spinous layer which aberrantly expressed Keratin 14 and p63, both markers of the basal layer which are normally silenced during cell cycle arrest and terminal differentiation of the desquamating keratinocytes.…”

“…Unique to 14-3-3 proteins, SFN expression is largely restricted to skin and other epithelia. A SFN mutation causes the repeated epilation (Er) mouse phenotype, characterized by a hyperproliferative epidermis with impaired differentiation (Herron et al 2005;Li et al 2005). In keratinocytes, SFN is involved with diverse and far-ranging effects, including protein kinase C signaling (Dellambra et al 2000), regulation of epidermal cell growth through mTOR/AKT (Kim et al 2006), and extracellular signaling to fibroblasts (Ghahary et al 2005).…”
