We present three novel mutations in the G6PD gene and discuss the changes they cause in the 3-dimensional structure of the enzyme: 573C-->G substitution that predicts Phe to Leu at position 191 in the C-terminus of helix alphae, 851T-->C mutation which results in the substitution 284Val--> -->Ala in the beta+alpha domain close to the C-terminal part of helix alphaj, and 1175T-->C substitution that predicts Ile to Thr change at position 392.  相似文献

G6PD Toronto     
Members of a Toronto family of Northern European ancestry were found to have a deficiency of red cell and white cell glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity. The hemizygous propositus had neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and subsequent episodes of hemolytic jaundice associated with respiratory infections and exposure to paint fumes. Characterization of the enzyme revealed that it was a variant which had not been previously described, and it was named 6GPD Toronto.This study was supported by grants MT 696 from the Medical Research Council of Canada and GM 15253 from the National Institutes of Health.  相似文献

Two new G6PD variants with severe enzyme deficiency in Switzerland (G6PD Avenches, G6PD I) and in Germany (G6PD Moosburg, G6PD II) are described. One patient had suffered from severe postpartal hyperbilirubinemia, the other one presented with chronic hemolysis and remittent hyperbilirubinemia. Both variants showed diminished electrophoretic mobility, both variants were heat labile. The Michaelis-Menten constants KM for glucose-6-phosphate and for NADP+ were normal. 2-Desoxy-glucose-6-phosphate was utilized by G6PD I in a higher and by G6PD II at a lower rate than by the normal enzyme. Desamino-NADP+ and galactose-6-phosphate were utilized by both variants at a normal rate. The electrophoretic separation of membrane proteins of G6PD II showed both in the presence and in the absence of 6-mercaptoethanol no difference concerning the formation of membrane protein aggregates between patient and normal control.  相似文献

Summary Two new G6PD variants have been found in red blood cells of the members of a French family originating from Lozere. The father is hemizygous for an electrophoretically fast variant with mild enzyme deficiency (50–60% of normal). The abnormal paternal G6PD gene is segregating in his daughter who is double heterozygous for maternal and paternal variants. This mutant enzyme, different from previously described variants is designated as Gd Lozère. The mother is heterozygous for another G6PD variant. Two sons are hemizygous for this latter mutant enzyme characterized by a moderate deficiency (25–30% of normal) and slower electrophoretic mobility with some slightly altered kinetic properties. This G6PD has been identified as Gd Trinacria like.These two abnormal enzymes are not associated with any hemolytic problem. Case reported is the first showing the segregation of two new mutant enzymes, distinct from common G6PD variants, among the members of the same family.  相似文献

The Jews of Kurdistan are a small inbred population with a high incidence of -thalassaemia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Recently, it was reported that the -thalassaemia in this population shows an unusual mutational diversity; 13 different mutations were identified, of which 4 had not previously been observed in any other population. In contrast, we now report that the G6PD deficiency, which has the highest known incidence in the world, and which affects about 70% of males, is almost entirely attributable to a single widespread mutation, G6PD Mediterranean.  相似文献

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD; E.C.1.1.1.49) deficiency is the most common human enzymopathy; more than 300 different biochemical variants of the enzyme have been described. In many parts of the world the Mediterranean type of G6PD deficiency is prevalent. However, G6PD Mediterranean has come to be regarded as a generic term applied to similar G6PD mutations thought, however, to represent a somewhat heterogeneous group. A C----T mutation at nucleotide 563 of G6PD Mediterranean has been identified by Vulliamy et al., and the same mutation has been found by De Vita et al. in G6PD Mediterranean, G6PD Sassari, and G6PD Cagliari. The latter subjects had an additional mutation, at nucleotide 1311, that did not produce a coding change. We have examined genomic DNA of five patients--four of Spanish origin and one of Jewish origin--having enzymatically documented G6PD Mediterranean. All had both the mutation at nucleotide 563 and that at nucleotide 1311. A sixth sample, resembling G6PD Mediterranean kinetically but with a slightly rapid electrophoretic mobility, was designated G6PD Andalus and was found to have a different mutation, a G----A transition at nucleotide 1361, producing an arginine-to-histidine substitution. These studies suggest that G6PD Mediterranean is, after all, relatively homogeneous.  相似文献

Summary The incidence of G6PD deficiency among 338 Thai males with senile cataracts was 5.92% while 446 control Thai males gave an incidence of 6.95%. The figures in females were 16.29% and 14% among 201 senile cataracts females and 200 control females respectively. The age of onset of senile cataracts was not different between the G6PD deficient and G6PD normal groups. The findings indicate that, at least in Thailand, G6PD deficiency in general is not a factor in cataractogenesis.  相似文献

G6PD Konan and G6PD Ube are the most common glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants found in Japan. To clarify the molecular abnormality of these two variants, the entire coding region was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from genomic DNA (G6PD Konan) or cDNA (G6PD Ube). Direct sequencing revealed that both variants have the same nucleotide substitution (241 C to T) in exon 4, which predicts an Arg to Cys substitution at amino acid 81.  相似文献

Examination on G6PD deficiency in 349 patients of Shekii district hospital (Azerbaijan) revealed 16 hemi-, 4 homo- and 9 heterozygotic carriers of the defect. Gd- frequency, calculated from the data obtained (7.7%), may be compared to neighbouring regions' frequencies (6-30%). Carriers of G6PD deficiency are residents of 11 villages located in Alasani-Aphtalan valley, highly endemic with malaria in the past; nearly all marriages are endogamic. Physico-chemical and kinetic study of 10 mutant forms of G6PD, according to WHO program, led to identification of 5 variants of the II class (Shekii, Bideiz, Shirin-Bulakh, Okhut I and Zakataly) and 2 variants of the III class (Okhut II and Martinique-like). Resemblance of the majority of variants in electrophoretic mobility and the level of erythrocyte enzyme activity permit to suggest the existence of a common parental mutant G6PD allele distributed in this area.  相似文献

Arabidopsis peroxisomes contain an incomplete oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway (OPPP), consisting of 6-phosphogluconolactonase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase isoforms with peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS). To start the pathway, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is required; however, G6PD isoforms with obvious C-terminal PTS1 or N-terminal PTS2 motifs are lacking. We used fluorescent reporter fusions to explore possibly hidden peroxisomal targeting information. Among the six Arabidopsis G6PD isoforms only plastid-predicted G6PD1 with free C-terminal end localized to peroxisomes. Detailed analyses identified SKY as an internal PTS1-like signal; however, in a medial G6PD1 reporter fusion with free N- and C-terminal ends this cryptic information was overruled by the transit peptide. Yeast two-hybrid analyses revealed selective protein-protein interactions of G6PD1 with catalytically inactive G6PD4, and of both G6PD isoforms with plastid-destined thioredoxin m2 (Trx(m2) ). Serine replacement of redox-sensitive cysteines conserved in G6PD4 abolished the G6PD4-G6PD1 interaction, albeit analogous changes in G6PD1 did not. In planta bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) demonstrated that the G6PD4-G6PD1 interaction results in peroxisomal import. BiFC also confirmed the interaction of Trx(m2) with G6PD4 (or G6PD1) in plastids, but co-expression analyses revealed Trx(m2) -mediated retention of medial G6PD4 (but not G6PD1) reporter fusions in the cytosol that was stabilized by CxxC113S exchange in Trx(m2) . Based on preliminary findings with plastid-predicted rice G6PD isoforms, we dismiss Arabidopsis G6PD4 as non-functional. G6PD4 orthologs (new P0 class) apparently evolved to become cytosolic redox switches that confer thioredoxin-relayed alternative targeting to peroxisomes.  相似文献

Two new inheritable variants of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase have been found in two unrelated German families. Patients with one variant (G6PD Iserlohn, also referred to as G6PD I) suffered from intermittent hemolytic crises caused by fava beans; patients with the other variant (G6PD Regensburg, G6PD II) disclosed chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia aggravated by drug treatment. Due to their unusual biochemical characteristics, the new variants were designated G6PD Iserlohn and G6PD Regensburg. Both variants showed a reduction of enzyme activity to about 6% of the normal in erythrocytes, normal electrophoretic mobility, increased affinity for glucose-6-phosphate, a reduced affinity for NADP and a pH optimum in the neutral region (7.0 and 7.5). G6PD Iserlohn had a decreased affinity for the inhibitor NADPH; G6PD Regensburg had a normal inhibitor constant. Deamino NADP was utilized at an increased rate by G6PD Regensburg. G6PD Iserlohn was thermostable, G6PD Regensburg mildly instable. G6PD activity in leukocytes was normal in G6PD Iserlohn and reduced to the same degree as in erythrocytets in G6PD Regensburg. The cause of the decreased activity of G6PD Iserlohn appears to be in vivo instability; in G6PD Regensburg further mechanisms might include reduced specific activity or reduced synthesis of the variant enzyme.  相似文献

Summary Two new glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants associated with chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia were discovered. G6PD Kobe was found in a 16-year-old male associated with hemolytic crisis after upper respiratory infection. The enzyme activity of the variant was about 22% of that of the normal enzyme. The main enzymatic characteristics were slower than normal anodal electrophoretic mobility, high Km G6P, increased thermal-instability, an acidic pH optimum, and an extremely increased affinity for the substrate analogue, galactose 6-phosphate (Gal-6P).G6PD Sapporo was found in a 3-year-old male associated with drug-induced hemolysis. The enzyme activity was extremely low, being 3.6% of normal. In addition, this variant showed high Ki NADPH and thermal-instability.G6PD Kobe utilized the artificial substrate Gal-6P effectively as compared with the common natural substrate, glucose 6-phosphate. In G6PD Sapporo, NADPH could not exert the effect of product inhibition. The structural changes of these variants are expected to occur at the portions inducing conformational changes of the substrate binding site of the enzyme.  相似文献
