Sammanfattning
Significance This project describes the existence of previously unknown non-GPI-anchored CD59 isoforms required for insulin secretion, named CD59-IRIS-1 and CD59-IRIS-2, and finds reduced expression of CD59-IRIS isoforms in human diabetic islets, showing a link between dysregulation of IRIS isoforms and defects in insulin secretion in diabetic patients. These data open a path for future studies into CD59-IRIS expression and function in additional cell types capable of regulated secretion. Identification of additional specific CD59-IRIS binding partners within the cell could provide therapeutic targets for enhancement of insulin secretion in T2D.
