Protein O-linked mannose β1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (POMGnT1) is an enzyme that transfers N-acetylglucosamine to O-mannose of glycoproteins. Mutations of the POMGnT1 gene cause muscle–eye–brain (MEB) disease. To obtain a better understanding of the pathogenesis of MEB disease, we mutated the POMGnT1 gene in mice using a targeting technique. The mutant muscle showed aberrant glycosylation of α-DG, and α-DG from mutant muscle failed to bind laminin in a binding assay. POMGnT1?/? muscle showed minimal pathological changes with very low-serum creatine kinase levels, and had normally formed muscle basal lamina, but showed reduced muscle mass, reduced numbers of muscle fibers, and impaired muscle regeneration. Importantly, POMGnT1?/? satellite cells proliferated slowly, but efficiently differentiated into multinuclear myotubes in vitro. Transfer of a retrovirus vector-mediated POMGnT1 gene into POMGnT1?/? myoblasts completely restored the glycosylation of α-DG, but proliferation of the cells was not improved. Our results suggest that proper glycosylation of α-DG is important for maintenance of the proliferative activity of satellite cells in vivo. 相似文献

Muscle-eye-brain (MEB) disease is a congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) phenotype characterized by hypotonia at birth, brain structural abnormalities and ocular malformations. To date, few MEB cases have been reported in China where clinical recognition and genetic confirmatory testing on a research basis are recent developments. Here, we report the clinical and molecular genetics of three MEB disease patients. The patients had different degrees of muscle, eye and brain symptoms, ranging from congenital hypotonia, early-onset severe myopia and mental retardation to mild weakness, independent walking and language problems. This confirmed the expanding phenotypic spectrum of MEB disease with varying degrees of hypotonia, myopia and cognitive impairment. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed cerebellar cysts, hypoplasia and characteristic brainstem flattening and kinking. Four candidate genes (POMGnT1, FKRP, FKTN and POMT2) were screened, and six POMGnT1 mutations (four novel) were identified, including five missense and one splice site mutation. Pathogenicity of the two novel variants in one patient was confirmed by POMGnT1 enzyme activity assay, protein expression and subcellular localization of mutant POMGnT1 in HeLa cells. Transfected cells harboring this patient’s L440R mutant POMGnT1 showed POMGnT1 mislocalization to both the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. We have provided clinical, histological, enzymatic and genetic evidence of POMGnT1 involvement in three unrelated MEB disease patients in China. The identification of novel POMGnT1 mutations and an expanded phenotypic spectrum contributes to an improved understanding of POMGnT1 structure–function relationships, CMD pathophysiology and genotype–phenotype correlations, while underscoring the need to consider POMGnT1 in Chinese MEB disease patients. 相似文献

Hypoglycosylation is a common characteristic of dystroglycanopathy, which is a group of congenital muscular dystrophies. More than ten genes have been implicated in α-dystroglycanopathies that are associated with the defect in the O-mannosylation pathway. One such gene is GTDC2, which was recently reported to encode O-mannose β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase. Here we show that GTDC2 generates CTD110.6 antibody-reactive N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) epitopes on the O-mannosylated α-dystroglycan (α-DG). Using the antibody, we show that mutations of GTDC2 identified in Walker–Warburg syndrome and alanine-substitution of conserved residues between GTDC2 and EGF domain O-GlcNAc transferase resulted in decreased glycosylation. Moreover, GTDC2-modified GlcNAc epitopes are localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These data suggested that GTDC2 is a novel glycosyltransferase catalyzing GlcNAcylation of O-mannosylated α-DG in the ER. CTD110.6 antibody may be useful to detect a specific form of GlcNAcylated O-mannose and to analyze defective O-glycosylation in α-dystroglycanopathies. 相似文献

An in-depth proteomic study of sheep milk whey is reported and compared to the data available in the literature for the cow whey proteome. A combinatorial peptide ligand library kit (ProteoMiner) was used to normalize protein abundance in the sheep whey proteome followed by an in-gel digest of a 1D-PAGE display and an in-solution digestion followed by OFFGEL isoelectric focusing fractionation. The peptide fractions obtained were then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. This enabled identification of 669 proteins in sheep whey that, to our knowledge, is the largest inventory of sheep whey proteins identified to date. A comprehensive list of cow whey proteins currently available in the literature (783 proteins from unique genes) was assembled and compared to the sheep whey proteome data obtained in this study (606 proteins from unique genes). This comparison revealed that while the 233 proteins shared by the two species were significantly enriched for immune and inflammatory responses in gene ontology analysis, proteins only found in sheep whey in this study were identified that take part in both cellular development and immune responses, whereas proteins only found in cow whey in this study were identified to be associated with metabolism and cellular growth. 相似文献

Dystroglycan is a central component of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex that links extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton in skeletal muscle. Although dystrophic chicken is well established as an animal model of human muscular dystrophy, the pathomechanism leading to muscular degeneration remains unknown. We show here that glycosylation and laminin-binding activity of alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) are defective in dystrophic chicken. Extensive glycan structural analysis reveals that Galbeta1-3GalNAc and GalNAc residues are increased while Siaalpha2-3Gal structure is reduced in alpha-DG of dystrophic chicken. These results implicate aberrant glycosylation of alpha-DG in the pathogenesis of muscular degeneration in this model animal of muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

Human growth is influenced not only by environmental and internal factors but also by a large number of different genes. One of these genes, SHOX, is believed to play a major role in growth, since defects in this homeobox-containing gene on the sex chromosomes lead to syndromal short stature (Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, Langer mesomelic dysplasia, and Turner syndrome) as well as to idiopathic short stature. We have analyzed 118 unrelated patients with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis and >1,500 patients with idiopathic short stature for deletions encompassing SHOX. Deletions were detected in 34% of the patients with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis and in 2% of the patients with idiopathic short stature. For 27 patients with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis and for 6 with idiopathic short stature, detailed deletion mapping was performed. Analysis was performed by polymerase chain reaction with the use of pseudoautosomal polymorphic markers and by fluorescence in situ hybridization with the use of cosmid clones. Here, we show that, although the identified deletions vary in size, the vast majority (73%) of patients tested share a distinct proximal deletion breakpoint. We propose that the sequence present within this proximal deletion breakpoint "hotspot" region predisposes to recurrent breaks. 相似文献

Molecular interaction between fukutin and POMGnT1 in the glycosylation pathway of alpha-dystroglycan
Xiong H Kobayashi K Tachikawa M Manya H Takeda S Chiyonobu T Fujikake N Wang F Nishimoto A Morris GE Nagai Y Kanagawa M Endo T Toda T 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2006,350(4):935-941
The recent identification of mutations in genes encoding demonstrated or putative glycosyltransferases has revealed a novel mechanism for congenital muscular dystrophy. Hypoglycosylated alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG) is commonly seen in Fukuyama-type congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB), Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), and Large(myd) mice. POMGnT1 and POMTs, the gene products responsible for MEB and WWS, respectively, synthesize unique O-mannose sugar chains on alpha-DG. The function of fukutin, the gene product responsible for FCMD, remains undetermined. Here we show that fukutin co-localizes with POMGnT1 in the Golgi apparatus. Direct interaction between fukutin and POMGnT1 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and two-hybrid analyses. The transmembrane region of fukutin mediates its localization to the Golgi and participates in the interaction with POMGnT1. Y371C, a missense mutation found in FCMD, retains fukutin in the ER and also redirects POMGnT1 to the ER. Finally, we demonstrate reduced POMGnT1 enzymatic activity in transgenic knock-in mice carrying the retrotransposal insertion in the fukutin gene, the prevalent mutation in FCMD. From these findings, we propose that fukutin forms a complex with POMGnT1 and may modulate its enzymatic activity. 相似文献

Cell polarization and cell division are two fundamental cellular processes. The mechanisms that establish and maintain cell polarity and the mechanisms by which cells progress through the cell cycle are now fairly well understood following decades of experimental work. There is also increasing evidence that the polarization state of a cell affects its proliferative properties. The challenge now is to understand how these two phenomena are mechanistically connected. The aim of the present chapter is to provide an overview of the evidence of cross-talk between apicobasal polarity and proliferation, and the current state of knowledge of the precise mechanism by which this cross-talk is achieved. 相似文献

Introduction: Recent evidence supports an association between systemic abnormalities and the pathology of psychotic disorders which has led to the search for peripheral blood-based biomarkers.Areas covered: Here, we summarize blood biomarker findings in schizophrenia from the literature identified by two methods currently driving biomarker discovery in the human proteome; mass spectrometry and multiplex immunoassay. From a total of 14 studies in the serum or plasma of drug-free schizophrenia patients; 47 proteins were found to be significantly altered twice or more, in the same direction. Pathway analysis was performed on these proteins, and the resulting pathways discussed in relation to schizophrenia pathology. Future directions are also discussed, with particular emphasis on the potential for high-throughput validation techniques such as data-independent analysis for confirmation of biomarker candidates.Expert commentary: We present promising findings that point to a convergence of pathophysiological mechanisms in schizophrenia that involve the acute-phase response, glucocorticoid receptor signalling, coagulation, and lipid and glucose metabolism. 相似文献

Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is an autosomal recessive developmental disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy, brain malformation, and structural eye abnormalities. WWS is due to defects in protein O-mannosyltransferase 1 (POMT1), which catalyzes the transfer of mannose to protein to form O-mannosyl glycans. POMT1 has been shown to require co-expression of another homologue, POMT2, to have activity. In the present study, mutations in POMT1 genes observed in patients with WWS were duplicated by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant genes were co-expressed with POMT2 in Sf9 cells and assayed for protein O-mannosyltransferase activity. Expression of all mutant proteins was confirmed by Western blot, but the recombinant proteins did not show any protein O-mannosyltransferase activity. The results indicate that mutations in the POMT1 gene result in a defect of protein O-mannosylation in WWS patients. This may cause failure of binding between alpha-dystroglycan and laminin or other molecules in the extracellular matrix and interrupt normal muscular function and migration of neurons in developing brain. 相似文献
