| Gene ID | 440026 |
| Gene Description | TMEM41B was discovered as a target of splicing dysfunction induced by loss of spinal motor neuron protein, a feature of spinal muscular atrophy, resulting in motor circuit defects. Loss of TMEM41B in mice results in embryonic lethality. TMEM41B is a transmembrane protein that resides at the endoplasmic reticulum and is found at contact sites between the ER and mitochondria. Independent CRISPR screens identified TMEM41B as a novel regulator of autophagy being structurally and functionally related to VMP1. Loss of TMEM41B inhibited autophagosome formation and autophagic flux. Furthermore, depletion of TMEM41B led to an accumulation of lipid droplets, indicating a role in lipid mobilization and utilization of fatty acids. TMEM41B also appeared in screens identifying it as an essential host protein for infection of flaviviruses and coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2. |
