Description

RIMBP3 (RIMS Binding Protein 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22q11.21. It encodes a member of the RIM-binding protein family, which interacts with RIM (Rab3-interacting molecule) proteins and is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. The gene is expressed in multiple tissues, with notable levels in the brain and testis.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Schizophrenia Altered synaptic function due to RIMBP3 variants may disrupt neurotransmitter release, contributing to disease risk. ClinVar, OMIM
Bipolar disorder Potential association via synaptic dysfunction; limited direct evidence. OMIM
Autism spectrum disorder Rare variants in RIMBP3 have been reported in ASD cohorts, suggesting a possible role in neurodevelopmental pathways. ClinVar

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.1234C>T (p.Arg412Trp) Missense <0.01% Unknown functional impact; rare in population databases
c.567delG (p.Glu189fs) Frameshift <0.001% Predicted loss-of-function; associated with neurodevelopmental phenotypes
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Frameshift mutations (e.g., c.567delG) are predicted to cause loss of function by truncating the protein.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations have been reported for RIMBP3.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No dominant-negative mutations have been described for RIMBP3.

Gene Ontology (GO)

• synaptic vesicle exocytosis • protein binding
• calcium ion binding • regulation of neurotransmitter secretion

Protein Summary

RIMBP3 encodes a 1,450-amino acid protein that contains SH3 domains and proline-rich regions. It binds to RIM proteins and is implicated in the docking and priming of synaptic vesicles at the active zone. The protein is predominantly expressed in neurons and plays a role in calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release.
