Data on the functional consequences of the mutations identified in 21-Hydroxylase deficient CAH patients.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the data set regarding the functional characterization of mutations in CYP21A2 gene in CAH patients as described in "Functional characterization and molecular modeling of the mutations in CYP21A2 gene from patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (Khajuria et al., 2018) [1]. This data set features about the identification of mutations and their functional characterization by bioinformatic tools (mutation severity prediction softwares). Molecular modeling enabled us to locate the site of the amino-acid residues in 3-Dimensional model of 21-Hydroxylase protein which were mutated in patients.

Project description:Cah is a calcium-binding autotransporter protein involved in autoaggregation and biofilm formation. Although cah is widespread in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), we detected mutations in cah at a frequency of 31.3% in this pathogen. In STEC O157:H7 supershedder strain SS17, a large deletion results in a smaller coding sequence, encoding a protein lacking the C-terminal 71 amino acids compared with Cah in STEC O157:H7 strain EDL933. We examined the function of Cah in biofilm formation and host colonization to better understand the selective pressures for cah mutations. EDL933-Cah played a conditional role in biofilm formation in vitro: it enhanced E. coli DH5? biofilm formation on glass surfaces under agitated culture conditions that prevented autoaggregation but inhibited biofilm formation under hydrostatic conditions that facilitated autoaggregation. This function appeared to be strain dependent since Cah-mediated biofilm formation was diminished when an EDL933 cah gene was expressed in SS17. Deletion of cah in EDL933 enhanced bacterial attachment to spinach leaves and altered the adherence pattern of EDL933 to bovine recto-anal junction squamous epithelial (RSE) cells. In contrast, in trans expression of EDL933 cah in SS17 increased its attachment to leaf surfaces, and in DH5?, it enhanced its adherence to RSE cells. Hence, the ecological function of Cah appears to be modulated by environmental conditions and other bacterial strain-specific properties. Considering the prevalence of cah in STEC and its role in attachment and biofilm formation, cah mutations might be selected in ecological niches in which inactivation of Cah would result in an increased fitness in STEC during colonization of plants or animal hosts.IMPORTANCE Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) harbors genes encoding diverse adhesins, and many of these are known to play an important role in bacterial attachment and host colonization. We demonstrated here that the autotransporter protein Cah confers on E. coli DH5? cells a strong autoaggregative phenotype that is inversely correlated with its ability to form biofilms and plays a strain-specific role in plant and animal colonization by STEC. Although cah is widespread in the STEC population, we detected a mutation rate of 31.3% in cah, which is similar to that reported for rpoS and fimH The formation of cell aggregates due to increased bacterium-to-bacterium interactions may be disadvantageous to bacterial populations under conditions that favor a planktonic state in STEC. Therefore, a loss-of-function mutation in cah is likely a selective trait in STEC when autoaggregative properties become detrimental to bacterial cells and may contribute to the adaptability of STEC to fluctuating environments.
