We employed whole-exome sequencing of five patients with MIC-CAP syndrome and identified novel recessive mutations in <italic>STAMBP,</italic> a gene encoding the deubiquitinating (DUB) isopeptidase STAMBP (<italic>STAM</italic>-<italic>b</italic>inding <italic>p</italic>rotein)/AMSH (<italic>A</italic>ssociated <italic>M</italic>olecule with the <italic>SH</italic>3 domain of STAM), that plays a key role in cell surface receptor-mediated endocytosis and sorting. Patient cell lines showed reduced STAMBP expression associated with accumulation of ubiquitin-conjugated protein aggregates, elevated apoptosis and insensitive activation of the RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways. The latter cellular phenotype is significant considering the established connection between these pathways and their association with vascular and capillary malformations. Furthermore, our findings of a congenital human disorder caused by a defective DUB protein that functions in endocytosis, implicates ubiquitin-conjugate aggregation and elevated apoptosis as factors potentially influencing the progressive neuronal loss underlying MIC-CAP.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Carter, Mt"

<abstract><p id="P1">Microcephaly-capillary malformation (MIC-CAP) syndrome exhibits severe microcephaly with progressive cortical atrophy, intractable epilepsy, profound developmental delay and multiple small capillary malformations on the skin. We employed whole-exome sequencing of five patients with MIC-CAP syndrome and identified novel recessive mutations in <italic>STAMBP,</italic> a gene encoding the deubiquitinating (DUB) isopeptidase STAMBP (<italic>STAM</italic>-<italic>b</italic>inding <italic>p</italic>rotein)/AMSH (<italic>A</italic>ssociated <italic>M</italic>olecule with the <italic>SH</italic>3 domain of STAM), that plays a key role in cell surface receptor-mediated endocytosis and sorting. Patient cell lines showed reduced STAMBP expression associated with accumulation of ubiquitin-conjugated protein aggregates, elevated apoptosis and insensitive activation of the RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways. The latter cellular phenotype is significant considering the established connection between these pathways and their association with vascular and capillary malformations. Furthermore, our findings of a congenital human disorder caused by a defective DUB protein that functions in endocytosis, implicates ubiquitin-conjugate aggregation and elevated apoptosis as factors potentially influencing the progressive neuronal loss underlying MIC-CAP.</p></abstract></article-meta></front><body><p id="P2">MIC-CAP was recently described in six children, including one brother-sister pair, who all presented with small scattered capillary malformations (CM), severe congenital microcephaly, early-onset intractable epilepsy, profound global developmental delay, spastic quadriparesis, hypoplastic distal phalanges, and poor growth<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>–<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup>. CMs, sometimes referred to as “port-wine stains”, are non-regressing cutaneous vascular abnormalities<sup><xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> that are seen in a growing number of congenital syndromes linked to dysregulated RAS-MAPK (RAS-mitogen activated protein kinase) function; these are collectively termed “<italic>RAS</italic>opathies”. For example, mutations in <italic>RASA1</italic>, encoding p120-RasGAP, a negative regulator of the RAS pathway, were found in patients with capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome (CM-AVM)<sup><xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref></sup>, while mutations in <italic>KRIT1,</italic> encoding a RAS-related protein 1A interactant, cause hyperkeratotic cutaneous capillary-venous malformations associated with cerebral capillary malformations<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup>. Sequencing of <italic>RASA1</italic> in two MIC-CAP patients was negative and sequencing of <italic>KRIT1</italic> was not pursued<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup>. Until now, the genetic mechanism responsible for this devastating disorder has been unknown.</p><p id="P3">We studied ten affected individuals from nine families with MIC-CAP syndrome (<xref rid="F1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref> and <xref rid="T1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>). Brain magnetic resonance imaging scans (MRI) of affected individuals showed enlarged extra-axial spaces and other changes suggesting prenatal onset cerebral atrophy with relative sparing of the cerebellum (<xref rid="F1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1a, b, and c</xref>). The gyral pattern was universally simplified, and associated with variable degrees of diffuse hypomyelination and hippocampal hypoplasia. All individuals with MIC-CAP were found to have intractable epilepsy, severe developmental delay and profound intellectual disability. Other distinguishing features of MIC-CAP include infantile spasms, hypoplasia of the distal phalanges characterized by variable degrees of nail and toe hypoplasia and CMs (<xref rid="F1" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1d, e, f</xref>). The CMs are striking in appearance and visible at birth in all patients. They are generalized in distribution and tend to vary from small 2–3 mm to large 15–20 mm lesions. Interestingly, limited evidence suggests that the vascular anomalies are not restricted to skin CMs; one reported patient (P3.1 in this study) had a cerebellar angioma<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup> and another (Patient 9.1) had possible vascular malformations of the liver by ultrasound.</p><p id="P4">To establish the genetic cause of MIC-CAP, we performed exome sequencing on DNA samples from five individuals (<xref rid="T1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>) diagnosed with the syndrome. The two affected children in Family 1, from non-consanguineous parents, suggested a recessive mode of inheritance for this disorder. Therefore, we focused on identifying genes in which a maximal number of patients had two rare protein-altering variants that were absent from dbSNP131, the 1000 Genomes project, and 159 in-house control exomes. In four (P1.1, P1.2, P2.1, P3.1) of the five patients studied by exome sequencing, including the two sibs, two variants in each individual were identified in <italic>STAMBP</italic> encoding STAM-binding protein (STAMBP/AMSH, hereafter referred to as STAMBP) (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2a</xref>; <xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 1a, 2</xref> and <xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Table 1</xref>). Analysis of an additional three affected individuals (P6.1, P8.1, P9.1) by Sanger sequencing identified two coding <italic>STAMBP</italic> variants in each patient (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Table 2</xref>). Co-segregation analysis confirmed an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance in all families (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 3</xref>). Western blot analysis of whole cell extracts from patient-derived LCLs failed to detect STAMBP expression in Patient 1.2 (p.[Glu42Gly];[Arg178*]) (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2b</xref>). Patient 3.1 (p.[Phe100Tyr];[Arg424*]) showed a reduction of STAMBP expression compared to controls (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2b</xref>).</p><p id="P5">We identified one coding mutation in <italic>STAMBP</italic> in Patient 7.1. Analysis by Western blotting failed to detect STAMBP expression (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2b</xref>) and further sequencing of the gene revealed an intronic mutation (c.203+5G>A) believed to lead to an increase in skipping of the first coding exon (<xref rid="T1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref> and <xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 1b, 4a–d</xref>).</p><p id="P6">In Patient 5.1, no coding mutations were identified using exome sequencing. The depth of coverage across the exons of <italic>STAMBP</italic> did not suggest a deletion. However, analysis of SNP data from an Illumina Human Omni2.5 array, which contained 25 probes within <italic>STAMBP</italic>, suggested a 40Mb region of copy neutral homozygosity spanning <italic>STAMBP</italic>. Western blotting revealed a severe reduction in STAMBP expression (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2b</xref>), suggesting that P5.1 has MIC-CAP secondary to noncoding mutations in <italic>STAMBP</italic>. Sequencing of patient derived cDNA showed the presence of a 108bp pseudoexon containing a premature stop codon (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig.4e, 4f</xref>). Deep intronic sequencing identified a homozygous mutation (c.1005+358A>G). Application of a computational model of splicing regulation<sup><xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref></sup> predicted that this mutation would activate a novel donor site as well as a cryptic AG acceptor site 114 bp upstream (p=8.7e-7, sign test). We believed that this mutation caused the leaky splicing of the full-length transcript and showed that patient cells have a 3-fold reduction of full-length transcript expression (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 1c and 4g</xref>).</p><p id="P7">Sanger sequencing in Patient 4.1 identified a homozygous stop mutation, p.Arg424*. Cosegregation analysis was not consistent with the suspected autosomal recessive mode of inheritance in this non-consanguineous family as only the mother was heterozygous for p.Arg424* mutation. We analyzed 10 microsatellite markers spanning chromosome 2 and found all markers to be homozygous; a diagnostic array performed using DNA extracted from whole-blood showed no evidence of copy number variation across chromosome 2. Therefore, we suspect that the mechanism of MIC-CAP in this patient is secondary to maternal isodisomy (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 5</xref>). In summary, we identified two mutations in STAMBP in a total of 10 patients; six missense variants, two nonsense mutations, two translational frameshift mutations predicted to cause a premature truncation of the STAMBP protein and three intronic mutations leading to alternative splicing of the <italic>STAMBP</italic> transcript (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2a</xref>).</p><p id="P8">STAMBP is a JAMM-family DUB containing a microtubule-interacting and transport (MIT) domain and a STAM-binding domain; both interact with the endosomal sorting and trafficking machinery (<xref rid="F2" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2a</xref> and <xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 6a</xref>)<sup><xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref></sup>. STAMBP is recruited to the <italic>e</italic>ndosomal <italic>s</italic>orting <italic>c</italic>omplexes <italic>r</italic>equired for <italic>t</italic>ransport (ESCRTs), a group of distinct macromolecule assemblies that mediate the sorting and trafficking of ubiquitinated proteins from endosomes to lysosomes. STAMBP functions in regulating endosomal sorting of ESCRT machinery and ubiquitinated receptor ‘cargo’<sup><xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>–<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref></sup>. Endosomal sorting is a highly dynamic process fundamental to regulating protein homeostasis through the active regulation of receptor-mediated signal transduction and by enabling processes such as autophagy<sup><xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref></sup> Impaired ESCRT-function is associated with the intracellular accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. Brain lesions containing ubiquitinated protein aggregates have been noted in <italic>STAMBP −/−</italic> mice<sup><xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref></sup>, suggesting this to be a likely mechanism influencing microcephaly and its progression in MIC-CAP. Consistent with this, we observed elevated levels of conjugated-ubiquitin aggregates following siRNA mediated silencing of <italic>STAMBP</italic> in the human medullablastoma line T98G using indirect immunofluoresence (IF) with an antibody that specifically detects conjugated-ubiquitin (FK2) and not free ubiquitin (<xref rid="F3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3a</xref>. and <xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 6b</xref>). Strikingly, we also observed elevated levels of conjugated-ubiquitin aggregates in several STAMBP-patient LCLs, compared to wild-type (WT) controls following serum starvation (<xref rid="F3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3b</xref>). This phenotype was reversed following stable lentiviral transduction of patient-LCLs with <italic>STAMBP</italic> (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 6c, d</xref>) Furthermore, this was also associated with apoptosis induction, denoted by elevated levels of cleaved caspase-3 (<xref rid="F3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3c</xref>) and annexin V staining (<xref rid="F3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3d</xref>) in the STAMBP-patient LCLs, compared to WT. STAMBP functions with the ESCRT machinery to facilitate autophagy (ATG). Autophagic flux can be monitored by detection of the autophagosome-associated phosphatidylethanolamine-conjugated microtubule-associated light chain 3 (LC3-II isoform) expression in the presence of the ATG inhibitor, Bafilomycin A (BafA). Consistent with increased autophagic flux (i.e. increased levels of autophagosomes), elevated LC3-II levels were observed in STAMBP-patient LCLs compared to wild-type (WT) controls (<xref rid="F3" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3e</xref>).</p><p id="P9">ESCRT-mediated endocytosis of activated cell surface receptors (e.g. activated receptor tyrosine kinases, G-protein coupled receptors) controls receptor distribution and coordinates signal transduction amplitude and duration<sup><xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref></sup>. Endocytosed ubiquitinated receptors are either recycled to the cell surface or targeted for degradation in the lysosome, leading to the proteolysis and termination of receptor signaling<sup><xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref></sup>. STAMBP interacts with key components of receptor signaling pathways such as Grb2 (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4a</xref>)<sup><xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup>. Considering the known role of STAMBP in regulating receptor-mediated endocytosis, sorting and trafficking, we investigated aspects of the interconnected RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal transduction pathways in our MIC-CAP LCLs, since mutations in components of these networks are associated with congenital capillary malformation disorders<sup><xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>,<xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref></sup>. We found elevated levels of GTP-bound RAS (active RAS) in extracts from STAMP-patient LCLs compared with WT suggestive of elevated signaling through this pathway (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4b</xref>). Similarly, elevated levels of phosphorylated active phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) were observed in cell extracts from STAMBP-patient LCLs relative to WT cells even following serum starvation (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4c</xref>). Collectively, these data suggest elevated and insensitive active signal transduction in these interconnected pathways associated with defective STAMBP in patient LCLs.</p><p id="P10">To further characterize signaling abnormalities we examined the response of patient LCLs to serum starvation for both these pathways using a selection of substrates. Serum starvation induced a significant reduction in C-RAF phosphorylation on serine-338 in WT LCLs, consistent with inhibition of C-RAF activity under these conditions (<xref rid="F5" ref-type="fig">Fig. 5a</xref>). STAMBP-patient LCLs maintained pS338-C-RAF levels in the absence of serum indicating persistent activation and insensitivity of this pathway. Further evidence suggesting insensitive signal transduction in the RAS-MAPK pathway in <italic>STAMBP</italic>-mutated LCLs is given by the relative insensitivity of these cells to the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126. Active C-RAF phosphorylates and activates MEK1/2 kinase, which then phosphorylates and activates ERK1/2 (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4a</xref>). We repeatedly found elevated levels of phosphorylated-ERK1/2 in exponentially growing <italic>STAMBP</italic>-mutated LCLs compared to WT following a short treatment (1hr) with the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 (<xref rid="F5" ref-type="fig">Fig. 5b</xref> and <xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 6e</xref>). The excess of phosphorylated-ERK1/2 in <italic>STAMBP</italic>-mutated LCLs under these robust inhibition conditions is further supportive of hyperactive and insensitive RAS-MAPK pathway in these cells. Analysis of several endpoints in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway under identical conditions indicated a similar insensitive activation of this pathway. Serum starvation of WT LCLs reduced phosphorylation of AKT on T308, on the AKT-dependent T1462 of TSC2, and on S240/S244 of S6 protein. This is consistent with pathway inactivation under these conditions in WT LCLs (<xref rid="F5" ref-type="fig">Fig. 5c and 5d</xref>). In contrast, STAMBP-patient LCLs maintained phosphorylation of all three proteins under these conditions (<xref rid="F5" ref-type="fig">Fig. 5c and 5d</xref>). Furthermore, stable lentiviral transduction of patient LCLs with <italic>STAMBP</italic> resulted in reconstitution of a normal signaling response to serum starvation (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 6f</xref>).</p><p id="P11">The RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways regulate crucial cellular processes including cell growth, cell cycle progression and differentiation. Disorders characterized by hyperactivity of RAS-MAPK network including Noonan and Costello syndromes exhibit growth delay<sup><xref rid="R24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref></sup>. Considering the marked post-natal growth retardation and capillary abnormalities seen in MIC-CAP, hyperactive RAS-MAPK signaling may represent a significant biological consequence induced by impaired STAMBP function in humans suggesting that <italic>STAMBP</italic>-mutated MIC-CAP may have an overlapping pathomechanism with <italic>RASopathies</italic>. Furthermore, since the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway also plays a role in angiogenesis and vascularization, and considering the interconnectivity between these networks (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4a</xref>), it is possible that combined insensitive activation of both these networks may contribute to the MIC-CAP phenotype.</p><p id="P12">In summary, we identify mutations in <italic>STAMBP</italic> in MIC-CAP syndrome, a recently described severe developmental disorder. Analysis of MIC-CAP patient LCLs demonstrates elevated ubiquitin-conjugated protein aggregation and apoptosis activation. These data are consistent with elevated ubiquitin-conjugated protein aggregate-induced progressive apoptosis as a potential underlying mechanism for the microcephaly in this disorder. This is consistent with brain imaging and human pathological analysis of MIC-CAP<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup> and of the knockout mouse model of <italic>STAMBP/AMSH</italic><sup><xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref></sup>. Furthermore, we document elevated autophagosome content and active and insensitive RAS-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways as novel consequences of defective STAMBP, potentially contributing to the vasculature and growth characteristics of MIC-CAP syndrome. This work presents the first example of a human disorder caused by a congenitally defective DUB isopeptidase functioning in the endocytosis pathway; providing significant new insights into the pathophysiology of human microcephaly and capillary malformation.</p><sec id="S3" specific-use="web-only"><title>ONLINE METHODS</title><sec id="S4" sec-type="methods|subjects"><title>Study Participants</title><p id="P15">All families provided written informed consent and this study was approved by the ethics review boards at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the University of Chicago, and Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood of affected subjects and their family using standard techniques.</p></sec><sec id="S5"><title>Sequencing Technology and Variant calling Pipeline</title><p id="P16">Using target capture with the Agilent SureSelect 50 Mb All Exon kit (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and sequencing of 100 bp paired end reads on Illumina Hiseq, we generated over 15 Gb of sequence for each sample such that approximately 90% of the coding bases of the exome defined by the consensus coding sequence (CCDS) project were covered by at least 20 reads. Reads were first quality trimmed from the 3′ end using the Fastx-toolkit and were then aligned to hg19 with BWA<sup><xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref></sup>. Duplicate reads were marked using Picard and excluded from downstream analyses. For each sample, single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and short insertions and deletions (indels) were called using samtools pileup and varFilter<sup><xref rid="R30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref></sup> with the base alignment quality (BAQ) adjustment disabled, and were then quality filtered to require at least 20% of reads supporting the variant call. Coverage of the exome was determined using the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK). Variants were annotated using both Annovar<sup><xref rid="R31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref></sup> and custom scripts to identify whether they affected protein coding sequence, and whether they had previously been seen in dbSNP131 or in the 1000 genomes pilot release (Nov. 2010).</p></sec><sec id="S6"><title>Genetic analysis</title><p id="P17">To elucidate the molecular mechanism of MIC-CAP in Family 4, we PCR amplified 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers spanning the length of chromosome two, four on the short arm and six on the long arm. The amplification products were resolved using the IR<sup>2</sup> DNA Analyzer and interpreted using the SAGA software (LI-COR). Analysis of the intronic mutations was performed using the computational model of splicing regulation first described by Barash Y. <italic>et al.</italic> (2010). Real-time PCR was performed using the Mastercycler Realplex (Eppendorf) in the presence of SYBR® Green PCR Mastermix reagents (Life Technologies, Applied Biosystems). Standard protocol was followed for the optimization of the real-time PCR primers, however reactions were scaled to 25μL per reaction. The PCR conditions were standard and all reagents, excluding the template and primers were provided in the SYBR® Green PCR Mastermix kit. Standard curves were generated using Beta-2 Microglobulin (NM_004048) as a control.</p></sec><sec id="S7"><title>Functional Analysis</title><p id="P18">STAMBP expression in patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) (P1.1, P7.1 and P3.1) was assessed by Western blotting using anti-STAMBP (H-4) with an epitope directed to amino acids 131-270 of STAMBP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). The caspase 3 antibody was from Cell Signalling Technology (Beverly, MA). For annexin V-apoptosis assessment we used the Single Channel Annexin V Apoptosis Kit (Alexa Fluor-488 conjugated anti-Annexin V with SyTOX Green) from Life Technologies LTD (Paisley, UK), according to manufacturer’s instructions. The anti-LC3 was from Cell Signalling (D50G8 XP(R)) and the Bafilomycin A from SIGMA-ALDRICH (Poole, UK). Active RAS-GTP levels were determined using the RAS-activation assay kit (17–218) from Millipore, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.</p><p id="P19">For siRNA mediated silencing of <italic>STAMBP</italic> we used ONTARGET plus SMARTpool human STAMBP (L-012202-00-0005) from Dharmacon-Thermo Fisher Scientific (UK), and transfection using Metafectene-Pro from Canbio (Cambridge, UK), according to manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were analysed 24hrs post-transfection. The SMARTpool is a mixture of four oligonucleotides with distinct target sequences (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Table 3</xref>).</p><p id="P20">For the indirect immunofluorescence (IF), LCLs were pelleted, swollen in 75mM KCL (10mins), immobilised onto poly-lysine coated slides by cytospinning (CytoSpin. Shandon), permeabilised (0.1% triton X-100 in 5% BSA/PBS for 2mins) and blocked in 5% BSA/PBS (10mins), prior to sequential incubation with primary and secondary antibodies. Slides were counterstained with DAPI and preserved in anti-fade mounting media (Vectashield). Slides were analysed using the Zeiss AxioPlan platform and images captured using SimplePCI software at constant exposure times. Anti-conjugated ubiquitin mouse monoclonal clone FK2 was from Enzo Lifesciences UK LTD (Exeter, UK).</p><p id="P21">To interrogate RAS-MAPK pathway function, patient-derived LCLs were grown exponentially in complete medium in the presence or absence of foetal bovine serum for 24hrs. Antibodies, including phospho-specific antibodies against C-Raf (pS33) and MAPK/ERK1/2 (p42/44) (pT202/pY204), along with their corresponding native antibodies were from Cell Signalling Technology (Beverly, MA), The MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 was used at 10μM for 1hr. Whole cell extracts were prepared by sonication in urea buffer (9M urea, 50mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 10mM β-mercaptoethanol).</p><p id="P22">For lentiviral transduction of LCLs, high titre Precision LentiORF viral particles derived from the pLOC system were obtained from Thermo Scientific (Open Biosystems) and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Stable STAMBP-expressing clones were obtained following blasticidin S selection of transduced populations.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="S8"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD1"><label>1</label><media xlink:href="NIHMS4064-supplement-1.pdf" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" id="d36e865" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack id="S9"><p>The authors would first like to thank the study patients and their families, without whose participation this work would not be possible.

STAMBP contains a microtubule-interacting and transport (MIT) domain<sup><xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup>, SH3 binding motif (SBM) (PX[V/I][D/N]RXXP)<sup><xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref></sup>, JAMM (JAB1/MPN/MOV34) motif<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref></sup>, nuclear localization signal (NLS)<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref></sup> and the distal ubiquitin recognition site (DUR)<sup><xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref></sup>.

Five out of six missense mutations are located in the MIT domain; required for the interaction of STAMBP with CHMP3, an ESCRT-III subunit<sup><xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref></sup>. The sixth, Thr313Ile, located in the distal ubiquitin binding site within the JAMM domain, eliminates a hydrogen bond between the ubiquitin carbon backbone and STAMBP, likely decreasing ubiquitin binding to STAMBP (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 2</xref>). Two mutations were recurrent in multiple unrelated MIC-CAP families; Arg424* detected in Patients 3.1 and 4.1 and Arg38Cys detected in individuals P2.1, P7.1 and P8.1, suggestive of mutational hotspots in <italic>STAMBP</italic>. Within the ~5000 exomes in the NHLBI Exome variant server, only variant Arg38Cys was represented in 2 of 10756 alleles, suggesting a carrier frequency of approximately 1:5000 in a population of American/European ancestry, consistent with the prevalence of this very rare disorder.

(<bold>b</bold>). LCLs were either treated (+) or untreated (-) with 10μM U0126, a specific MEK1/2 inhibitor for 1hr (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4a</xref>). Cells were harvested and WCEs were probed for phospho-ERK1/2 levels, which is mediated by MEK. Insensitivity to this treatment (as measured by relative phospho-ERK1/2 levels remaining after treatment with this MEK inhibitor), would reflect the magnitude/intensity of signal transduction from RAF to MEK to ERK (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4a</xref>). Residual pERK1/2 (pT202/pY204) signal (MEK-dependent phosphorylation) was seen in MIC-CAP LCLs, in contrast to WT. This phenotype is underscored following titration of U0126 in various MIC-CAP LCLs compared to WT (<xref rid="SD1" ref-type="supplementary-material">Supplementary Fig. 6e</xref>). Collectively, these data indicate a greater strength of MEK1/2 activity in MIC-CAP LCLs compared to WT cells. <bold>(c)</bold> Serum starvation (24hrs) reduces phosphorylation (activation) on AKT (T308) and on TSC2 at T1462, an AKT-dependent inhibitory TSC2 phosphorylation in WT LCLs in contrast to MIC-CAP LCLs from P7.1, P1.1 and P3.1. The TSC1/2 complex is the principal negative regulator of mTOR kinase complex (<xref rid="F4" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4a</xref>).
