V-ATPases are multimeric proton pumps. The 100-kDa "a" subunit is encoded by four isoforms (a1-a4) in mammals and two (Vph1p and Stv1p) in yeast. a3 is enriched in osteoclasts and is essential for bone resorption, whereas a4 is expressed in the distal nephron and acidifies urine. Mutations in human a3 and a4 result in osteopetrosis and distal renal tubular acidosis, respectively. Human a3 (G405R and R444L) and a4 (P524L and G820R) mutations were recreated in the yeast ortholog Vph1p, a3 (G424R and R462L), and a4 (W520L and G812R). Mutations in a3 resulted in wild type vacuolar acidification and growth on media containing 4 mM ZnCl2, 200 mM CaCl2, or buffered to pH 7.5 with V-ATPase hydrolytic and pumping activity decreased by 30-35%. Immunoblots confirmed wild type levels for V-ATPase a, A, and B subunits on vacuolar membranes. a4 G812R resulted in defective growth on selective media with V-ATPase hydrolytic and pumping activity decreased by 83-85% yet with wild type levels of a, A, and B subunits on vacuolar membranes. The a4 W520L mutation had defective growth on selective media with no detectable V-ATPase activity and reduced expression of a, A, and B subunits. The a4 W520L mutation phenotypes were dominant negative, as overexpression of wild type yeast a isoforms, Vph1p, or Stv1p, did not restore growth. However, deletion of endoplasmic reticulum assembly factors (Vma12p, Vma21p, and Vma22p) partially restored a and B expression. That a4 W520L affects both Vo and V1 subunits is a unique phenotype for any V-ATPase subunit mutation and supports the concerted pathway for V-ATPase assembly in vivo. 相似文献

To investigate the molecular basis for the distinct neuronopathic phenotypes of Gaucher disease, acid beta-glucosidases expressed from mutant DNAs in Gaucher disease type 2 (acute) and type 3 (subacute) patients were characterized in fibroblasts and with the baculovirus expression system in insect cells. Expression of the mutant DNA encoding a proline-for-leucine substitution at amino acid 444 (L444P) resulted in a catalytically defective, unstable acid beta-glucosidase in either fibroblasts from L444P/L444P homozygotes or in insect cells. This mutation was found to be homoallelic in subacute neuronopathic (type 3) Gaucher disease. In comparison, expression of the mutant cDNA encoding an arginine-for-proline substitution at amino acid 415 (P415R) resulted in an inactive and unstable protein in insect cells. This allele was found only in a type 2 patient with the L444P/P415R genotype. The substantial variation in the type 3 phenotype (L444P homozygotes) suggests the complex nature of the molecular basis of phenotypic variation in Gaucher disease. Yet, the association of neuronopathic phenotypes with alleles producing severely compromised (L444P) or functionally null (P415R) enzymes indicates that the effective level of residual activity at the lysosome is likely to be a major determinant of the severity of Gaucher disease. 相似文献

Osteopetrosis, a rare congenital genetic disease characterized by increased bone density due to impaired bone resorption by osteoclasts. It is classified into three forms: Infantile malignant autosomal recessive (AR) osteopetrosis, intermediate (AR) osteopetrosis and autosomal dominant (AD) osteopetrosis. Incidence of infantile malignant AR is 1/2,00,000 and if untreated has a fatal outcome. The condition is commonly diagnosed in infancy with symptoms of significant hematologic abnormalities with bone marrow failure, hepatosplenomegaly, macrocephaly with frontal bossing and bone fractures. Because of rarity of this type of malignant infantile form of osteopretrosis, we like to report this case of malignant infantile osteopetrosis who presented with bronchopneumonia, anemia with melaena at 2 months 15 days of age. 相似文献

Gaucher's disease is the most inherited lysosomal storage disorder. Except for a few cases, the broad phenotypic heterogeneity of Gaucher's disease can be neither predicted from defined mutations nor from differences in residual enzyme activity. Here, we analyse the intracellular trafficking of glucocerebrosidase as an underlying mechanism for the expression of the clinical phenotype. Biosynthetic labeling studies combined with immunofluorescence analyses with fibroblasts from patients with the defined mutations N370S, L444P, D409H and G202R unequivocally demonstrate a retarded transport of glucocerebrosidase carrying the mutation N370S and a transport block in the ER of the enzyme with the mutations G202R, L444P and D409H. We asked whether cellular components in the patients' fibroblasts other than glucocerebrosidase are implicated in the onset of the disease. For this, mutant cDNA's corresponding to the phenotypes N370S, G202R and L444P were expressed in the mouse fibroblasts NIH3T3. Essentially similar biochemical and cellular features were revealed as compared to the patients' fibroblasts strongly suggesting that these mutations are exclusively responsible for the characterized phenotypes. Interestingly, the immunoglobulin binding protein (BiP) binds wild type and the mutant N370S but not the G202R and L444P variants suggesting a discriminatory role played by this chaperone associated with the severity of the disease. 相似文献

The osteoclast is the main effector of bone resorption. Failure in osteoclast differentiation or function leads to osteopetrosis, a bone disease characterized by an impaired bone resorption. Analysis of mouse models developing osteopetrosis as a consequence of naturally occurring mutations or gene knockouts allowed to establish the osteoclast differentiation pathway. Among these models, the oc/oc, the gl/gl and the Clcn7(-/-) mice present a phenotype similar to the one displayed by patients with infantile malignant osteopetrosis, the most severe form of osteopetrosis in human. Analysis of these models led to the identification of different mutations in the corresponding human genes TCIRG1, GL and CLCN7, in osteopetrotic patients. Mutations in the TCIRG1 gene seem the most frequent cause of malignant osteopetrosis and mutations in the CLCN7 gene seem the most frequent cause of type II osteopetrosis. Therefore, these three mouse models appear to be particularly well suited for the study of the osteoclast function in order to provide new insights in the therapy of osteopetrosis. 相似文献

Mutations in subunit C of the vacuolar ATPase confer resistance to bafilomycin and identify a conserved antibiotic binding site. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Bafilomycin A1, a potent inhibitor of vacuolar H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPase), inhibited growth of Neurospora crassa in medium adjusted to alkaline pH. Ninety-eight mutant strains were selected for growth on medium (pH 7.2) containing 0.3 or 1.0 microm bafilomycin. Three criteria suggested that 11 mutant strains were altered in the V-ATPase: 1) these strains accumulated high amounts of arginine when grown at pH 5.8 in the presence of bafilomycin, 2) the mutation mapped to the locus of vma-3, which encodes the proteolipid subunit c of the V-ATPase, and 3) V-ATPase activity in purified vacuolar membranes was resistant to bafilomycin. Sequencing of the genomic DNA encoding vma-3 identified the following mutations: T32I (two strains), F136L (two strains), Y143H (two strains), and Y143N (five strains). Characterization of V-ATPase activity in the four kinds of mutant strains showed that the enzyme was resistant to bafilomycin in vitro, with half-maximal inhibition obtained at 80-400 nm compared with 6.3 nm for the wild-type enzyme. Surprisingly, the mutant enzymes showed only weak resistance to concanamycin. Interestingly, the positions of two mutations corresponded to positions of oligomycin-resistant mutations in the c subunit of F(1)F(0)-ATP synthases (F-ATPases), suggesting that bafilomycin and oligomycin utilize a similar binding site and mechanism of inhibition in the related F- and V-ATPases. 相似文献

To investigate residues involved in the formation of the noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites of the vacuolar proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase), cysteine scanning mutagenesis of the VMA2 gene that encodes the B subunit in yeast was performed. Replacement of the single endogenous cysteine residue at position 188 gave rise to a Cys-less form of the B subunit (Vma2p) which had near wild-type levels of activity and which was used in the construction of 16 single cysteine-containing mutants. The ability of adenine nucleotides to prevent reaction of the introduced cysteine residues with the sulfhydryl reagent 3-(N-maleimidopropionyl)biocytin (biotin-maleimide) was evaluated by Western blot. Biotin-maleimide labeling of the purified V-ATPase from the wild-type and the mutants S152C, L178C, N181C, A184C, and T279C was reduced after reaction with the nucleotide analog 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyladenosine 5'-triphosphate (BzATP). These results suggest the proximity of these residues to the nucleotide binding site on the B subunit. In addition, we have examined the level of endogenous nucleotide bound to the wild-type V-ATPase and to a mutant (the A subunit mutant R483Q) which is postulated to be altered at the noncatalytic site and which displays a marked nonlinearity in ATP hydrolysis (MacLeod, K. J., Vasilyeva, E., Baleja, J. D., and Forgac, M. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 150-156). The R483Q mutant contained 2.6 mol of ATP/mol of V-ATPase compared with the wild-type enzyme, which contained 0.8 mol of ATP/mol of V-ATPase. These results suggest that binding of additional ATP to the noncatalytic sites may modulate the catalytic activity of the enzyme. 相似文献

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a secretory protein that promotes low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) degradation and thereby regulating plasma levels of LDL cholesterol. Previous studies have revealed the role of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of PCSK9 in its secretion, however, how CTD regulates PCSK9 secretion is not completely understood. Additionally, SEC24A, the cargo adaptor protein of the coat protein complex II, has been implicated in the secretion of mouse PCSK9. Here, we investigated how CTD and SEC24 regulated PCSK9 secretion in humans. We found that mutant PCSK91–528, in which amino acids from 529 to the end (amino acid 692) were deleted, was maturated and secreted from cells as effectively as the wild-type protein. On the other hand, lacking amino acids 454 to 692 in mutant PCSK91–453 significantly reduced its maturation and secretion, but to a lesser extent when compared to mutants PCSK91–446, PCSK91–445 and PCSK91–444, that all markedly impaired PCSK9 maturation. However, mutant PCSK91–444 virtually eliminated PCSK9 secretion while PCSK91–446 and PCSK91–445 could still be adequately detected in culture medium. Interestingly, mutation of Pro445 to other amino acid residues considerably impaired the secretion of mutant PCSK91–445 but not the full-length protein. We also found that natural variants in CTD including S462P, S465L, E482G, R495Q and A522T impaired PCSK9 secretion. Further, the knockdown of SEC24A, SEC24B, SEC24C but not SEC24D reduced secretion of the full-length PCSK9 but not mutant PCSK91–446. Therefore, SEC24A, SEC24B, and SEC24C facilitate endogenous PCSK9 secretion from cultured human hepatocytes, that are most likely mediated by the CTD of PCSK9. Our studies also indicate that the CTD of PCSK9 may allosterically and independently modulate the stability of the hinge region. Collectively, these data revealed that the CTD of PCSK9 and the hinge region play a critical role in PCSK9 maturation and secretion. 相似文献

The GPA1, STE4, and STE18 genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encode the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, respectively, of a G protein involved in the mating response pathway. We have found that mutations G124D, W136G, W136R, and delta L138 and double mutations W136R L138F and W136G S151C of the Ste4 protein cause constitutive activation of the signaling pathway. The W136R L138F and W136G S151C mutant Ste4 proteins were tested in the two-hybrid protein association assay and found to be defective in association with the Gpa1 protein. A mutation at position E307 of the Gpa1 protein both suppresses the constitutive signaling phenotype of some mutant Ste4 proteins and allows the mutant alpha subunit to physically associate with a specific mutant G beta subunit. The mutation in the Gpa1 protein is adjacent to the hinge, or switch, region that is required for the conformational change which triggers subunit dissociation, but the mutation does not affect the interaction of the alpha subunit with the wild-type beta subunit. Yeast cells constructed to contain only the mutant alpha and beta subunits mate and respond to pheromones, although they exhibit partial induction of the pheromone response pathway. Because the ability of the modified G alpha subunit to suppress the Ste4 mutations is allele specific, it is likely that the residues defined by this analysis play a direct role in G-protein subunit association. 相似文献

By means of one-dimensional electrophoresis, it is shown that in radiation-resistant Gamr444 and Gamr445 mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 high-molecular weight heat shock proteins are hyperproduced at 32-37 degrees C and are induced more intensively during heat shock (in comparison to the parental wild-type strain AB1157). When the missense htpR15 mutation of the positive regulatory htpR gene for heat shock proteins was introduced by transduction into the genome of the Gamr444 mutant, its enhanced radiation-resistance disappeared but could be restored upon introduction of pKV3 plasmid bearing the htpR+ gene. These data show that heat shock proteins are participating in the enhanced radioresistance of Gamr mutants. 相似文献

Azurin has a beta-barrel fold comprising eight beta-strands and one alpha helix. A disulfide bond between residues 3 and 26 connects the N-termini of beta strands beta1 and beta3. Three mutant proteins lacking the disulfide bond were constructed, C3A/C26A, C3A/C26I and a putative salt bridge (SB) in the C3A/S25R/C26A/K27R mutant. All three mutants exhibit spectroscopic properties similar to the wild-type protein. Furthermore, the crystal structure of the C3A/C26A mutant was determined at 2.0 A resolution and, in comparison to the wild-type protein, the only differences are found in the immediate proximity of the mutation. The mutants lose the 628 nm charge-transfer band at a temperature 10-22 degrees C lower than the wild-type protein. The folding of the zinc loaded C3A/C26A mutant was studied by guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) induced denaturation monitored both by fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. The midpoint in the folding equilibrium, at 1.3 M GdnHCl, was observed using both CD and fluorescence spectroscopy. The free energy of folding determined from CD is -24.9 kJ.mol-1, a destabilization of approximately 20 kJ.mol-1 compared to the wild-type Zn2+-protein carrying an intact disulfide bond, indicating that the disulfide bond is important for giving azurin its stable structure. The C3A/C26I mutant is more stable and the SB mutant is less stable than C3A/C26A, both in terms of folding energy and thermal denaturation. The folding intermediate of the wild-type Zn2+-azurin is not observed for the disulfide-deficient C3A/C26A mutant. The rate of unfolding for the C3A/C26A mutant is similar to that of the wild-type protein, suggesting that the site of the mutation is not involved in an early unfolding reaction. 相似文献

A DNA fragment containing the gene encoding subunit C of vaculor H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) was cloned from a yeast library. The predicted amino acid sequence indicated that the C subunit consists of 373 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 42,287 Da. The protein from yeast is 37% identical in its amino acid sequence to the C subunit of bovine V-ATPase. The DNA fragment that was cloned in this study contained two additional reading frames. At the 5' end an amino acid sequence that is homologous to Artemia elongation factor 1 was detected. At the 3' end the N-terminal part of a kinesin-like protein was observed. The gene encoding subunit C of the V-ATPase was interrupted, and the resulting mutant could not grow at high pH and was sensitive to low and high Ca2+ concentrations in the growth medium. Transformation of the mutant by a plasmid containing the gene encoding subunit C repaired the phenotype of the mutant. Substitution of more than half of the coding region by a corresponding DNA fragment encoding the bovine subunit C resulted in a phenotype indistinguishable from wild type. Immunological studies with the disruptant mutant revealed that subunit C is necessary for the assembly of the catalytic sector of the enzyme. 相似文献

The yeast vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit complex comprised of peripheral membrane subunits involved in ATP hydrolysis and integral membrane subunits involved in proton pumping. The yeast vma21 mutant was isolated from a screen to identify mutants defective in V-ATPase function. vma21 mutants fail to assemble the V-ATPase complex onto the vacuolar membrane: peripheral subunits accumulate in the cytosol and the 100-kDa integral membrane subunit is rapidly degraded. The product of the VMA21 gene (Vma21p) is an 8.5-kDa integral membrane protein that is not a subunit of the purified V-ATPase complex but instead resides in the endoplasmic reticulum. Vma21p contains a dilysine motif at the carboxy terminus, and mutation of these lysine residues abolishes retention in the endoplasmic reticulum and results in delivery of Vma21p to the vacuole, the default compartment for yeast membrane proteins. Our findings suggest that Vma21p is required for assembly of the integral membrane sector of the V-ATPase in the endoplasmic reticulum and that the unassembled 100-kDa integral membrane subunit present in delta vma21 cells is rapidly degraded by nonvacuolar proteases. 相似文献

Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is a severe fatal disorder with an average incidence of around 1:250,000. It is diagnosed soon after birth or within the 1st year of life with severe symptoms of abnormal bone remodelling. This study was aimed to identify the underlying genetic cause of the disease in a Pakistani family segregating infantile malignant osteopetrosis in autosomal recessive pattern. Whole exome sequencing of the proband was performed using the 51 Mb SureSelect V4 library kit and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencing system. The reads were analysed using standard bioinformatic data analysis pipeline. The genotype of candidate variants was confirmed in the proband and his normal parents by Sanger sequencing. Two novel homozygous missense variants were found in the same codon 204 of CLCN7 NM_001287.5:c.[610A>T;612C>G] predicting p.(Ser204Trp) variant in the protein. Sanger sequencing and RFLP assay verified that both these variants were heterozygous in the unaffected parents. Moreover, these variants were not detected in the unrelated healthy Pakistani subjects (200 chromosomes), ExAC, dbSNP, or the 1000 Genomes Project data. Multiple bioinformatics tools unanimously predicted the p.(Ser204Trp) variant as deleterious. CLCN7 mutation p.(Ser204Trp) is the likely cause of the osteopetrosis disease in the Pakistani family. This study expands the restricted spectrum of CLCN7 mutations associated with infantile malignant osteopetrosis and indicates clinical significance of whole exome sequencing in the diagnosis of clinically and genetically heterogenous osteopetrosis phenotype. These data should be helpful in the improved genetic counselling, carrier identification and prenatal diagnosis of the affected family. 相似文献

Osteopetrosis results from a heterogeneous group of congenital bone diseases that display inadequate osteoclastic bone resorption. We recently mapped tl (toothless), a mutation that causes osteopetrosis in rats, to a genetic region predicted to include the rat Csf1 gene. In this study, we sequenced the coding sequence of the rat Csf1 gene to determine if a mutation in Csf1 could be responsible for the tl phenotype. Sequencing revealed a 10-base insertion in the coding sequence of mutant animals that produces a frameshift and generates a stop codon early in the mutant Csf1 coding sequence. The 41 amino acid polypeptide predicted to be produced from the Csf1 promoter would have only the first nine amino acids of the wild-type rat protein. These data suggest that osteopetrosis develops in tl/tl rats because they cannot produce functional mCsf, a growth factor required for osteoclast differentiation and activation. 相似文献

The yeast cwh36Delta mutant was identified in a screen for yeast mutants exhibiting a Vma(-) phenotype suggestive of loss of vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) activity. The mutation disrupts two genes, CWH36 and a recently identified open reading frame on the opposite strand, YCL005W-A. We demonstrate that disruption of YCL005W-A is entirely responsible for the Vma(-) growth phenotype of the cwh36Delta mutant. YCL005W-A encodes a homolog of proteins associated with the Manduca sexta and bovine chromaffin granule V-ATPase. The functional significance of these proteins for V-ATPase activity had not been tested, but we show that the protein encoded by YCL005W-A, which we call Vma9p, is essential for V-ATPase activity in yeast. Vma9p is localized to the vacuole but fails to reach the vacuole in a mutant lacking one of the integral membrane subunits of the V-ATPase. Vma9p is associated with the yeast V-ATPase complex in vacuolar membranes, as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation with known V-ATPase subunits and glycerol gradient fractionation of solubilized vacuolar membranes. Based on this evidence, we propose that Vma9p is a genuine subunit of the yeast V-ATPase and that e subunits may be a functionally essential part of all eukaryotic V-ATPases. 相似文献
