The mutation mut-25 that results in a mutator phenotype is closely linked to purA on the chromosome of Escherichia coli. The gene order in this region is ampA mut-25 purA. purA mut-25 double mutants retained mutator activity indicating that mut-25 is not a mutation in the purA gene. The repair mutations uvrA6, recA56, and exrA1 had no effect on mutation frequencies in mut-25 strains, and mut-25 strains were normally resistant to ultraviolet irradiation. Frequencies of host range mutations were not increased in phages T1, T2, and T7 grown on mut-25 strains. mut-25 could act trans, reverting the trpA46 mutation either on the chromosome or on an F episome. The transitions AT yields GC (adenine-thymine yields guanine-cytosine) and GC yields AT were induced by mut-25. 相似文献

Two mutations, R450Q and P803S, in the coding region of the human topoisomerase II alpha gene have been identified in the atypical multidrug resistant (at-MDR) cell line, CEM/VM-1, which exhibits resistance to many structurally diverse topoisomerase II-targeting antitumor drugs such as VM-26, doxorubicin, m-AMSA, and mitoxantrone. The R450Q mutation mapped in the ATP utilization domain, while the P803S mutation mapped in the vicinity of the active site tyrosine of human topoisomerase II alpha. However, the roles of these two mutations in conferring multidrug resistance are unclear. To study the roles of these two mutations in conferring multidrug resistance, we have characterized the recombinant human DNA topoisomerase II alpha containing either single or double mutations. We show that both R450Q and P803S mutations confer resistance in the absence of ATP. However, in the presence of ATP, the R450Q, but not the P803S, mutation can confer multidrug resistance. The R450Q enzyme was shown to exhibit impaired ATP utilization both for enzyme catalysis and for its ability to form the circular protein clamp. Interestingly, an unrelated mutation, G437E, which is also located in the same domain as the R450Q mutation, exhibited multidrug hypersensitivity in the absence of ATP. However, in the presence of ATP, the G437E enzyme is only minimally hypersensitive to various topoisomerase II drugs. In contrast to the R450Q enzyme, the G437E enzyme exhibited enhanced ATP utilization for enzyme catalysis. In the aggregate, these results support the notion that the multidrug resistance and sensitivity of these mutant enzymes are due to a specific defect in ATP utilization during enzyme catalysis. 相似文献

Deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC; alpha 4 beta 4) results in the rare, autosomal recessive disease propionic acidemia. Cell fusion experiments have revealed two complementation groups, pccA and pccB, corresponding to defects of the PCCA (alpha-subunit) and PCCB (beta-subunit) genes, respectively. The pccBCC group includes subgroups, pccB and pccC, which are thought to reflect interallelic complementation between certain mutations of the PCCB gene. In this study, we have identified the mutations in two pccB, one pccC, and two pccBC cell lines and have deduced those alleles participating in interallelic complementation. One pccB line was a compound heterozygote of Pro228Leu and Asn536Asp. The latter mutation was also detected in a noncomplementing pccBC line. This leaves Pro228Leu responsible for complementation in the pccB cells. The second pccB line contained an insertional duplication, dupKICK140-143, and a splice mutation IVS + 1 G-->T, located after Lys466. We suggest that the dupKICK mutation is the complementing allele, since the second allele is incompatible with normal splicing. The pccC line studied was homozygous for Arg410Trp, which is necessarily the complementing allele in that line. For a second pccC line, we previously had proposed that delta Ile408 was the complementing allele. We now show that its second allele, "Ins.Del," a 14-bp deletion replaced by a 12-bp insertion beginning at codon 407, fails to complement in homozygous form. We conclude that the interallelic complementation results from mutations in domains that can interact between beta-subunits in the PCC heteromer to restore enzymatic function. On the basis of sequence homology with the Propionibacterium shermanii transcarboxylase 12S subunit, we suggest that the pccC domain, defined by Ile408 and Arg410, may involve the propionyl-CoA binding site. 相似文献

Hybrid forms of human phenylalanine hydroxylase (hPAH) mutants have been found to present catalytic activities lower than predicted from the individual recombinant forms, indicating that interallelic complementation could be a major determinant of the metabolic phenotype of compound heterozygous phenylketonuric (PKU) patients. To provide a molecular explanation for interallelic complementation we have here developed a bicistronic expression system and a purification strategy to obtain isolated hPAH heteromeric forms. On co-expression of WT-hPAH (~ 50% tetramer; ~ 10% dimer) and the N- and C-terminally truncated form ΔN102/ΔC24-hPAH (~ 80% dimer) no heterodimers were recovered. Moreover, by co-expression of WT-hPAH and the N-terminally truncated form ΔN102-hPAH (~ 95% tetramer), heterotetramers, as a result of an assembly of two different homodimers, were isolated. The recovered (WT)/(ΔN102)-hPAH heterotetramers revealed a catalytic activity deviating significantly from that calculated by averaging the respective recombinant homotetrameric forms. The heterotetramer assembly also results in conformational changes in the WT-hPAH protomer, as detected by trypsin limited proteolysis. The finding that the presence of two homodimers with different kinetic parameters influences the properties of the resulting heterotetrameric protein indicates that the dimers exhibit interactions which are transmitted across the assembled tetramer. The bicistronic expression system developed here allowed the isolation of hybrid forms that exhibit negative interallelic complementation, and may represent a model system for studying the molecular pathogenic mechanisms of PAH gene mutations in compound heterozygous PKU patients, providing the rationale to understand the observed inconsistencies both in genotype/phenotype correlations and in the response to BH4 supplementation. 相似文献

Developmental consequences of mutations in the 84B alpha-tubulin gene of Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Developmental effects of six mutations in the gene encoding the majority of alpha-tubulin in all tissues at all stages of Drosophila melanogaster development have been examined. All six alleles produce at least partially stable alpha 84B protein. In genetic assays, two of these alleles approximate the null condition. The other four alleles appear to form a graded series of hypomorphs. The two most severe alleles produce a semidominant maternal-effect polyphasic lethality, plus a predominantly larval recessive zygotic lethality. Clonal analysis of one of these alleles suggests it is a cell lethal. Worsening of the lethal phenotype (negative complementation) occurs in most interallelic heterozygotes involving these two mutations. As hemizygotes, the other four alleles are predominantly larval/pupal lethals. Partial complementation is achieved by most interallelic heterozygotes involving these four alleles. Phenotypic defects associated with the six tubulin mutation include disrupted embryos, pseudopupae, pharate adults with defects in various cuticular pattern elements, pharate adults with retarded head development, adults with leg tremors and extremely short life spans, and viable but sterile adults with bristle defects. 相似文献

Cobalamin-dependent enzymes enhance the rate of C–Co bond cleavage by up to ∼1012-fold to generate cob(II)alamin and a transient adenosyl radical. In the case of the pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) and cobalamin-dependent enzymes lysine 5,6-aminomutase and ornithine 4,5 aminomutase (OAM), it has been proposed that a large scale domain reorientation of the cobalamin-binding domain is linked to radical catalysis. Here, OAM variants were designed to perturb the interface between the cobalamin-binding domain and the PLP-binding TIM barrel domain. Steady-state and single turnover kinetic studies of these variants, combined with pulsed electron-electron double resonance measurements of spin-labeled OAM were used to provide direct evidence for a dynamic interface between the cobalamin and PLP-binding domains. Our data suggest that following ligand binding-induced cleavage of the Lys629-PLP covalent bond, dynamic motion of the cobalamin-binding domain leads to conformational sampling of the available space. This supports radical catalysis through transient formation of a catalytically competent active state. Crucially, it appears that the formation of the state containing both a substrate/product radical and Co(II) does not restrict cobalamin domain motion. A similar conformational sampling mechanism has been proposed to support rapid electron transfer in a number of dynamic redox systems. 相似文献

Of approximately 10,000 independent phage Mu-1 lysogens, 3 had a mutator phenotype. One (mutation designated mut-49) resembled mutT1 in the frequency and types of mutations induced. mut-49 was mapped between leu and ace and was not separable from the Mu prophage. mut-49 was recessive and did not complement mutT1. mut-49, like mutT1, did not increase the reversion of the frameshift mutation lac Z (ICR48). mut-49 and mutT1 induced the same two classes of trpA78 revertants, indicating that mut-49 induced adenine-thymine leads to cytosine-guanine transversions. The results support previous work indicating that the mutational specificity of mutT is gene and not allele specific. 相似文献

Mutations in the Punch locus result in loss of GTP cyclohydrolase activity, but all mutations do not affect the enzyme in the same way. There are at least three classes of Punch mutations. One class results in a dominant eye color, recessive lethal phenotype. A second class of mutations also causes a recessive lethal phenotype, but heterozygous mutants have normal eye color. They show loss of GTP cyclohydrolase function in all tissues where activity can be measured. Alleles comprising a third class are recessive eye color mutations that are homozygous viable. Individuals with this third type of mutation show loss of enzyme activity in the eye, but show normal or near-normal activity elsewhere. In order to examine the organization and function of this locus further, we have performed interallelic complementation tests on 25 Punch mutations, monitoring viability and enzyme activity in prepupae and adults. Most allele combinations are lethal. Those that complement do so in ways that are tissue-or stage-specific and unpredictable. Tests of mutants with tissue-specific phenotypes and of individuals mutant for complementing Punch lethal alleles lead us to conclude that Punch is a complex locus, both with respect to its organization and to its products. 相似文献

Guanine auxotrophs of Escherichia coli were isolated following mutagenesis by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine or ethyl methanesulphonate. The mutants were classified according to growth properties and absence of IMP dehydrogenase or GMP synthetase activity. Mutations in guaB (IMP dehydrogenase-less) were analysed by reversion and suppression tests; all were of the base substitution missense type except for one possible frameshift and one polar nonsense mutation. GuaB mutants were examined for protein (CRM) that cross-reacts with monospecific antibodies to IMP dehydrogenase; approximately half were CRM+. Enzyme complementation in vitro was detected in mixed denatured and renatured cell-free extracts of any CRM+ guaB mutant and PL1138 (guaB105, CRM+); CRM- mutants did not complement. GuaB105 maps distal to all other guaB mutations except guaB86 (CRM-). Two hybrid enzymes produced by complementation were less stable to heat than native IMP dehydrogenase, although kinetic constants were similar. These observations indicate interallelic complementation between guaB mutants and are consistent with the demonstration of identical subunits for IMP dehydrogenase (Gilbert et al., 1979). Only the subunits supplied by PL1138 are catalytically active in the hybrid enzymes suggesting that this mutant may produce a repairable polypeptide whereas the enzymes of complementing mutants may be defective at the active site. 相似文献

flbA encodes an Aspergillus nidulans RGS (regulator of G protein signaling) domain protein that is required for control of mycelial proliferation and activation of asexual sporulation. We identified a dominant mutation in a second gene, fadA, that resulted in a very similar phenotype to flbA loss-of-function mutants. Analysis of fadA showed that it encodes the alpha-subunit of a heterotrimeric G protein, and the dominant phenotype resulted from conversion of glycine 42 to arginine (fadA(G42R)). This mutation is predicted to result in a loss of intrinsic GTPase activity leading to constitutive signaling, indicating that activation of this pathway leads to proliferation and blocks sporulation. By contrast, a fadA deletion and a fadA dominant-interfering mutation (fadA(G203R)) resulted in reduced growth without impairing sporulation. In fact, the fadA(G203R) mutant was a hyperactive asexual sporulator and produced elaborate sporulation structures, called conidiophores, under environmental conditions that blocked wild-type sporulation. Both the fadA(G203R) and the fadA deletion mutations suppressed the flbA mutant phenotype as predicted if the primary role of FlbA in sporulation is in blocking activation of FadA signaling. Because overexpression of flbA could not suppress the fadA(G42R) mutant phenotype, we propose that FlbA's role in modulating the FadA proliferation signal is dependent upon the intrinsic GTPase activity of wild-type FadA. 相似文献

The yeast mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replicase Mip1 has been used as a model to generate five mutations equivalent to POLG mutations associated with a broad spectrum of diseases in human. All mip1 mutations, alone or in combination in cis or in trans, increase mtDNA instability as measured by petite frequency and Ery(R) mutant accumulation. This phenotype is associated with decreased Mip1 levels in mitochondrial extracts and/or decreased polymerase activity. We have demonstrated that (1) in the mip1(G651S) (hG848S) mutant the high mtDNA instability and increased frequency of point Ery(R) mutations is associated with low Mip1 levels and polymerase activity; (2) in the mip1(A692T-E900G) (hA889T-hE1143G) mutant, A692T is the major contributor to mtDNA instability by decreasing polymerase activity, and E900G acts synergistically by decreasing Mip1 levels; (3) in the mip1(H734Y)/mip1(G807R) (hH932Y/hG1051R) mutant, H734Y is the most deleterious mutation and acts synergistically with G807R as a result of its dominant character; (4) the mip1(E900G) (h1143G) mutation is not neutral but results in a temperature-sensitive phenotype associated with decreased Mip1 levels, a property explaining its synergistic effect with mutations impairing the polymerase activity. Thus, the human E1143G mutation is not a true polymorphism. 相似文献

The tRNA-dependent amino acid activation catalyzed by mammalian arginyl-tRNA synthetase has been characterized. A conditional lethal mutant of Chinese hamster ovary cells that exhibits reduced arginyl-tRNA synthetase activity (Arg-1), and two of its derived revertants (Arg-1R4 and Arg-1R5) were analyzed at the structural and functional levels. A single nucleotide change, resulting in a Cys to Tyr substitution at position 599 of arginyl-tRNA synthetase, is responsible for the defective phenotype of the thermosensitive and arginine hyper-auxotroph Arg-1 cell line. The two revertants have a single additional mutation resulting in a Met222 to Ile change for Arg-1R4 or a Tyr506 to Ser change for Arg-1R5. The corresponding mutant enzymes were expressed in yeast and purified. The Cys599 to Tyr mutation affects both the thermal stability of arginyl-tRNA synthetase and the kinetic parameters for arginine in the ATP-PP(i) exchange and tRNA aminoacylation reactions. This mutation is located underneath the floor of the Rossmann fold catalytic domain characteristic of class 1 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, near the end of a long helix belonging to the alpha-helix bundle C-terminal domain distinctive of class 1a synthetases. For the Met222 to Ile revertant, there is very little effect of the mutation on the interaction of arginyl-tRNA synthetase with either of its substrates. However, this mutation increases the thermal stability of arginyl-tRNA synthetase, thereby leading to reversion of the thermosensitive phenotype by increasing the steady-state level of the enzyme in vivo. In contrast, for the Arg-1R5 cell line, reversion of the phenotype is due to an increased catalytic efficiency of the C599Y/Y506S double mutant as compared to the initial C599Y enzyme. In light of the location of the mutations in the 3D structure of the enzyme modeled using the crystal structure of the closely related yeast arginyl-tRNA synthetase, the kinetic analysis of these mutants suggests that the obligatory tRNA-induced activation of the catalytic site of arginyl-tRNA synthetase involves interdomain signal transduction via the long helices that build the tRNA-binding domain of the enzyme and link the site of interaction of the anticodon domain of tRNA to the floor of the active site. 相似文献

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) is a multifunctional protein well characterized as the E3 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. Previously, conditions predicted to destabilize the DLD dimer revealed that DLD could also function as a diaphorase and serine protease. However, the relevance of these cryptic activities remained undefined. We analyzed human DLD mutations linked to strikingly different clinical phenotypes, including E340K, D444V, R447G, and R460G in the dimer interface domain that are responsible for severe multisystem disorders of infancy and G194C in the NAD(+)-binding domain that is typically associated with milder presentations. In vitro, all of these mutations decreased to various degrees dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity, whereas dimer interface mutations also enhanced proteolytic and/or diaphorase activity. Human DLD proteins carrying each individual mutation complemented fully the respiratory-deficient phenotype of yeast cells lacking endogenous DLD even when residual dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity was as low as 21% of controls. However, under elevated oxidative stress, expression of DLD proteins with dimer interface mutations greatly accelerated the loss of respiratory function, resulting from enhanced oxidative damage to the lipoic acid cofactor of pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and other mitochondrial targets. This effect was not observed with the G194C mutation or a mutation that disrupts the proteolytic active site of DLD. As in yeast, lipoic acid cofactor was damaged in human D444V-homozygous fibroblasts after exposure to oxidative stress. We conclude that the cryptic activities of DLD promote oxidative damage to neighboring molecules and thus contribute to the clinical severity of DLD mutations. 相似文献

Mutations in the PCCA or PCCB genes coding for alpha and beta subunits of propionyl CoA carboxylase can cause propionic acidemia. To understand the molecular basis of the intragenic complementation previously reported at the PCCB locus, we now examine the complementation behaviour of four carboxy-terminal and 11 amino-terminal naturally occurring mutant alleles both using cell fusion and reconstructing the complementation event by transfecting the mutant cDNAs to generate multimeric hybrid proteins. Alleles carrying mutations p.R410W and p.W531X are able to complement with 10 out of 11 amino-terminal mutations assayed. Only the unstable p.R512C, p.L519P and p.G112D mutants fail to complement. The results analyzed in the framework of the crystal structure of the homologous 12S transcarboxylase from Propionibacterium shermanii show that all mutant alleles studied are located at beta subunits interfaces, complementing alleles at the inter-trimer interface, where the catalysis probably happens, and non-complementing alleles at the intra-trimer interface, probably disrupting the trimer formation. Our results also show a remarkable stabilization effect when p.R410W is cotransfected with p.G246V. We propose a model for intragenic complementation requiring the production of two different beta subunits carrying carboxy and amino-terminal mutations that allow regenerating functional active sites and in which a stabilization effect between subunits could be relevant to ameliorate the biochemical phenotype of each mutation separately. 相似文献

Two strains characterized as niaD structural gene mutants in Aspergillus nidulans produce a nitrate reductase which retains the ability to react with nitrate while lacking the ability to oxidize its naturally occurring substrate NADPH. Fifteen such nitrate reactive niaD strains exhibited strong interallelic complementation when tested against strains bearing point mutations in eleven other loci essential to induction and synthesis of nitrate reductase in Aspergillus. Fourteen representatives of this phenotype formed enzyme with a molecular weight equivalent to that of the wild type (200 kD) and also remained inducible by nitrate and repressible by ammonium. The mutation appears to alter the NADPH binding domain of the nitrate reductase since the affinity for the dinucleotide fold in Affigel blue and the dissociation constant (Ks) for enzyme isolated from the mutants on the basis of reduced methyl viologen-nitrate reductase activity is significantly less than that observed for the native enzyme from the wild type. 相似文献

Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) is a mitochondrial disorder associated with mutations in the POLG gene encoding the mitochondrial DNA polymerase (pol gamma). Four autosomal dominant mutations that cause PEO encode the amino acid substitutions G923D, R943H, Y955C and A957S in the polymerase domain of pol gamma. A homology model of the pol gamma catalytic domain in complex with DNA was developed to investigate the effects of these mutations. Two mutations causing the most severe disease phenotype, Y955C and R943H, change residues that directly interact with the incoming dNTP. Polymerase mutants exhibit 0.03-30% wild-type polymerase activity and a 2- to 35-fold decrease in nucleotide selectivity in vitro. The reduced selectivity and catalytic efficiency of the autosomal dominant PEO mutants predict in vivo dysfunction, and the extent of biochemical defects correlates with the clinical severity of the disease. 相似文献

The enzyme activities specified by the tyrA and pheA genes were studied in wildtype strain Salmonella typhimurium and in phenylalanine and tyrosine auxotrophs. As in Aerobacter aerogenes and Escherichia coli, the wild-type enzymes of Salmonella catalyze two consecutive reactions: chorismate --> prephenate --> 4-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate (tyrA), and chorismate --> prephenate --> phenylpyruvate (pheA). A group of tyrA mutants capable of interallelic complementation had altered enzymes which retained chorismate mutase T activity but lacked prephenate dehydrogenase. Similarly, pheA mutants (in which interallelic complementation does not occur) had one group with altered enzymes which retained chorismate mutase P but lacked prephenate dehydratase. Tyrosine and phenylalanine auxotrophs outside of these categories showed loss of both activities of their respective bifunctional enzyme. TyrA mutants which had mutase T were considerably derepressed in this activity by tyrosine starvation and consequently excreted prephenate. A new and specific procedure was developed for assaying prephenate dehydrogenase activity. 相似文献

The proposed function of Cdc4p, an essential contractile ring protein in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is that of a myosin essential light chain. However, five conditionally lethal cdc4 alleles exhibit complementation in diploids. Such interallelic complementation is not readily explained if the sole function of Cdc4p is that of a myosin essential light chain. Complementation of cdc4 alleles could occur only if different mutant forms can assemble into an active oligomeric complex or if Cdc4p has more than one essential function. To search for other proteins that may interact with Cdc4p, we performed a two-hybrid screen and identified two such candidates: one similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Vps27p and the other a putative phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase. Binding of Cdc4p to the latter and to myosin heavy chain (Myo2p) was confirmed by immunosorbent assays. Deletion studies demonstrated interaction between the Cdc4p C-terminal domain and the PI 4-kinase C-terminal domain. Furthermore, interaction was abolished by the Cdc4p C-terminal domain point mutation, Gly107 to Ser. This allele also causes failure of cytokinesis. Ectopic expression of the PI 4-kinase C-terminal domain caused cytokinesis defects that were most extreme in cells carrying the G107S allele. We suggest that Cdc4p plays multiple roles in cytokinesis and that interaction with a PI 4-kinase may be important for contractile ring assembly and/or function. 相似文献

Hypomorphic lethal mutations and their implications for the interpretation of lethal complementation studies in Drosophila 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
In a small region of the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster, we have found that a third of the mutations that appear to act as lethals in segmental haploids are viable in homozygous mutant individuals. These viable mutations fall into four complementation groups. The most reasonable explanation of these mutations is that they are a subset of functionally hypomorphic alleles of essential genes: hypomorphic mutations with activity levels above a threshold required for survival, but below twice that level, should behave in this manner. We refer to these mutations as "haplo-specific lethal mutations." In studies of autosomal lethals, haplo-specific lethal mutations can be included in lethal complementation tests without being identified as such. Accidental inclusion of disguised haplo-specific lethals in autosomal complementation tests will generate spurious examples of interallelic complementation. 相似文献
