Introduction: Recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in post-translational interactions with type I collagen. Types VII–IX OI involve defects in the collagen prolyl 3-hydroxylation complex, which modifies α1(I)Pro986. PPIB encodes CyPB, a complex component with PPIase activity and the major isomerase facilitating collagen folding. We investigated the role of CyPB in collagen post-translational modifications a...

Recessive osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in post-translational interactions with type I collagen. A founder mutation in a new gene responsible for recessive OI has recently been reported in Bedouins from Israel and Saudi Arabia, who have a homozygous deletion of TMEM38B exon 4 and surrounding intronic sequence. TMEM38B encodes TRIC-B, an integral ER membrane monovalent cation channel involved in Ca...

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable bone dysplasia with collagen-related defects. Dominantly inherited OI is caused by structural defects in type I collagen or IFITM5, while recessive forms are caused by deficiency of proteins that interact with collagen for modification, folding or cross-linking. We have identified the first X-linked form of OI, caused by a defect in regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). One type of RIP involves sequential cleavage of regulatory ...
