Analysis of Wilson disease mutations in copper binding domain of ATP7B gene.

ABSTRACT: Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder, resulting from variations in ATP7B gene. Clinical heterogeneity, including neuropsychiatric and hepatic manifestations over a large range of age groups make diagnosis difficult. Most of WD patients suffer severe disabilities and even die. So, overall goal of proposed study is the genetic and clinical characterization of Wilson's disease cases from Pakistani population. Clinical data was collected, and patients were investigated for variations in selected ATP7B exons using PCR based Sanger sequencing. Pathogenic effect predictions for detected variants were carried out using PROVEAN, MutationTaster2, and HSF software's. Clinical heterogeneity was observed in patients including reduced serum ceruloplasmin, signs of chronic liver damage and raised 24 h urinary copper excretion. Mean age of onset was 11.3 years. Kayser-Fleischer rings were present in 75% of cases. About 82.5% patients belonged to inbred families. Patients having neurological disorder were above 12 years of age. Total ten variants in analyzed region of ATP7B gene, including a reported variation (p. L227Yfs*35) were found in patients. The study also identified 4 putative novel synonymous variants (c.251A>C, c.15T>A, c.6T>C, c.238C>T) and 5 reported polymorphisms (c.83C>A, c.39_40insCGGCG, p.V456L, c.39_40insCGCCG and c.1544-53A>C). Reliable understanding of clinical presentations and genotype-phenotype correlation provide insight to function and structure of ATP7B and may assist in disease prognosis and family counseling. The study revealed clinical presentation of Pakistani WD cases and identification of sequence variants in screened region of ATP7B.

Structure of the Wilson disease copper transporter ATP7B.

Project description:ATP7A and ATP7B, two homologous copper-transporting P1B-type ATPases, play crucial roles in cellular copper homeostasis, and mutations cause Menkes and Wilson diseases, respectively. ATP7A/B contains a P-type ATPase core consisting of a membrane transport domain and three cytoplasmic domains, the A, P, and N domains, and a unique amino terminus comprising six consecutive metal-binding domains. Here, we present a cryo-electron microscopy structure of frog ATP7B in a copper-free state. Interacting with both the A and P domains, the metal-binding domains are poised to exert copper-dependent regulation of ATP hydrolysis coupled to transmembrane copper transport. A ring of negatively charged residues lines the cytoplasmic copper entrance that is presumably gated by a conserved basic residue sitting at the center. Within the membrane, a network of copper-coordinating ligands delineates a stepwise copper transport pathway. This work provides the first glimpse into the structure and function of ATP7 proteins and facilitates understanding of disease mechanisms and development of rational therapies.

Prevalence of ATP7B Gene Mutations in Iranian Patients With Wilson Disease.

Project description:BackgroundWilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder. The WD gene, ATP7B, encodes a copper-transporting ATPase involved in the transport of copper into the plasma protein ceruloplasmin and in excretion of copper from the liver. ATP7B mutations cause copper to accumulate in the liver and brain.ObjectivesWe examined the ATP7B mutation spectrum in Wilson disease patients in Iran.Patients and methodsGenomic DNA was extracted from patients with Wilson disease. The entire coding region of the ATP7B gene was amplified using PCR and analyzed using direct sequencing.ResultsWe identified five novel mutations in 5 Iranian patients with Wilson disease. The first was a transversion, c.2363C > T, which led to an amino acid change from threonine to isoleucine. The second mutation was a deletion, c.2532delA (Val845Ser), which occurred in exon 10. The third mutation was a transition mutation, c.2311C > G (Leu770Leu), which occurred in the TM4 domain of the ATP7B protein. The fourth mutation was a transversion, (c.3061G > A) (Lys1020Lys), in exon 14. Lastly, we identified a transversion, c.3206C > A (His1069Asn) in exon 14 which led to a change in function of the ATP loop domain of the ATP7B protein. The H1069Q mutation was identified as the most common mutation in our study population.ConclusionsBased on our findings, the H1069Q may be a biomarker that can be used in a rapid detection assay for diagnosing WD patients.

The Structure of Metal Binding Domain 1 of the Copper Transporter ATP7B Reveals Mechanism of a Singular Wilson Disease Mutation.

Project description:Copper-transporter ATP7B maintains copper homeostasis in the human cells and delivers copper to the biosynthetic pathways for incorporation into the newly synthesized copper-containing proteins. ATP7B is a target of several hundred mutations that lead to Wilson disease, a chronic copper toxicosis. ATP7B contains a chain of six cytosolic metal-binding domains (MBDs), the first four of which (MBD1-4) are believed to be regulatory, and the last two (MBD5-6) are required for enzyme activity. We report the NMR structure of MBD1, the last unsolved metal-binding domain of ATP7B. The structure reveals the disruptive mechanism of G85V mutation, one of the very few disease causing missense mutations in the MBD1-4 region of ATP7B.

Wilson disease protein ATP7B utilizes lysosomal exocytosis to maintain copper homeostasis.

Project description:Copper is an essential yet toxic metal and its overload causes Wilson disease, a disorder due to mutations in copper transporter ATP7B. To remove excess copper into the bile, ATP7B traffics toward canalicular area of hepatocytes. However, the trafficking mechanisms of ATP7B remain elusive. Here, we show that, in response to elevated copper, ATP7B moves from the Golgi to lysosomes and imports metal into their lumen. ATP7B enables lysosomes to undergo exocytosis through the interaction with p62 subunit of dynactin that allows lysosome translocation toward the canalicular pole of hepatocytes. Activation of lysosomal exocytosis stimulates copper clearance from the hepatocytes and rescues the most frequent Wilson-disease-causing ATP7B mutant to the appropriate functional site. Our findings indicate that lysosomes serve as an important intermediate in ATP7B trafficking, whereas lysosomal exocytosis operates as an integral process in copper excretion and hence can be targeted for therapeutic approaches to combat Wilson disease.

Identification of mutations in the ATP7B gene in 14 Wilson disease children: Case series.

Project description:IntroductionWilson Disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disease caused by mutations in the ATPase copper transporting beta gene (ATP7B). WD can cause fatal neurological and hepatic disorders if not diagnosed and treated.ObjectiveTo analyze the disease-causing mutations of 14 Chinese WD children, 11 of whom are diagnosed with hepatic disorders, 2 with neurological degeneration and 1 with both hepatic and neurological disorders.MethodsAll ATP7B coding regions were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) functional impacts were assessed by combining the results of four bioinformatics tools (Poly-phen-2, SIFT, PANTHER-PSEP and PhD-SNPs) in an index that reflects the combined probability (cPdel) of an amino acid change to be deleterious to the protein function.ResultsTwo novel variants involved in WD development, c.1448_1455del (p.Arg483SerfsX19) and c.4144G>T (p.Glu1382Stop), and 11 previously reported mutations were detected. Both new variants result in shortened and dysfunctional ATP7B proteins. cPdel score suggests that SNPs may be deleterious to the ATP7B functionality.ConclusionsThis study enriches the library of the ATP7B mutations that lead to WD and can be used as a basis for genetic counseling, for WD prevention and clinical and prenatal diagnosis. Those SNPs that are believed to be harmless to ATP7B protein may be involved in the pathogenesis of WD.

Three novel mutations in the ATP7B gene of unrelated Vietnamese patients with Wilson disease.

Project description:BackgroundWilson disease (OMIM # 277900) is a autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulation of copper in liver and brain. The accumulation of copper resulting in oxidative stress and eventually cell death. The disease has an onset in a childhood and result in a significant neurological impairment or require lifelong treatment. Another serious consequence of the disease is the development of liver damage and acute liver failure leading to liver transplant. The disorder is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, encoding a P-type copper transporting ATPase.Case presentationWe performed genetic analysis of three unrelated patients from three different Vietnamese families. These patients had clinical features such as numbness of hands and feet, vomiting, insomnia, palsy, liver failure and Kayser-Fleischer (K-F) rings and were diagnosed with Wilson disease in the Human Genetics Department, Vietnam National Children's Hospital. The entire coding region and adjacent splice sites of ATP7B gene were amplified and sequenced by Sanger method. Sequencing data were analyzed and compared with the ATP7B gene sequence published in Ensembl (ENSG00000123191) by using BioEdit software to detect mutations.ConclusionsIn this study, five mutations in the ATP7B gene were found. Among of these, three mutations were novel: c.750_751insG (p.His251Alafs*19) in exon 2, c.2604delC (p.Pro868Profs*5) in exon 11, and c.3077 T > A (p.Phe1026Tyr) in exon 14. Our results of the mutations associated with Wilson disease might facilitate the development of effective treatment plans.

A structural model of the copper ATPase ATP7B to facilitate analysis of Wilson disease-causing mutations and studies of the transport mechanism.

Project description:The copper-transporting ATPase ATP7B has an essential role in human physiology, particularly for the liver and brain function. Inactivation of ATP7B is associated with a severe hepato-neurologic disorder, Wilson disease (WD). Hundreds of WD related mutations have been identified in ATP7B to date. The low frequency and the compound-heterozygous nature of causative mutations complicate the analysis of individual mutants and the establishment of genotype-phenotype correlations. To facilitate studies of disease-causing mutations and mechanistic understanding of WD, we have homology-modelled the ATP7B core (residues 643-1377) using the recent structure of the bacterial copper-ATPase LCopA as a template. The model, supported by evolutionary conservation and hydrophobicity analysis, as well as existing and new mutagenesis data, allows molecular interpretations of experimentally characterized clinical mutations. We also illustrate that structure and conservation can be used to grade potential deleterious effects for many WD mutations, which were clinically detected but have not yet been experimentally characterized. Finally, we compare the structural features of ATP7B and LCopA and discuss specific features of the eukaryotic copper pump.

Analysis of Wilson disease mutations revealed that interactions between different ATP7B mutants modify their properties.

Project description:Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by mutations in the copper (Cu)-transporter ATP7B. Thus far, studies of WD mutations have been limited to analysis of ATP7B mutants in the homozygous states. However, the majority of WD patients are compound-heterozygous, and how different mutations on two alleles impact ATP7B properties is unclear. We characterized five mutations identified in Indian WD patients, first by expressing each alone and then by co-expressing two mutants with dissimilar properties. Mutations located in the regulatory domains of ATP7B-A595T, S1362A, and S1426I-do not affect ATP7B targeting to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) but reduce its Cu-transport activity. The S1362A mutation also inhibits Cu-dependent trafficking from the TGN. The G1061E and G1101R mutations, which are located within the ATP-binding domain, cause ATP7B retention in the endoplasmic reticulum, inhibit Cu-transport, and lower ATP7B protein abundance. Co-expression of the A595T and G1061E mutations, which mimics the compound-heterozygous state of some WD patients, revealed an interaction between these mutants that altered their intracellular localization and trafficking under both low and high Cu conditions. These findings highlight the need to study WD variants in both the homozygous and compound-heterozygous states to better understand the genotype-phenotype correlations and incomplete penetrance observed in WD.

Mutational analysis of ATP7B in Chinese Wilson disease patients.

Project description:Wilson Disease (WD) is an inborn error of copper metabolism inherited in an autosomal recessive manner caused by the mutations in the P-type ATPase gene (ATP7B). In this study, we screen and detect the mutations of the ATP7B gene in unrelated Chinese WD patients. A total of 68 individuals from ten provinces of China with WD were recruited. Of them, 43 were males and 25 were females, and their onset ages were from 1 to 48 years with a median onset age of 22.2 years. All the exons and exon/intron boundaries of ATP7B gene of the patients were sequenced and aligned to the referred ATP7B gene sequence. The results suggested that 66 of the 68 patents carried with at least one mutation and 48 different mutations were identified including 34 missense, one synonymous, two nonsense, two splicing, and nine frameshift mutations (five insertion and four deletion). Among these mutations, c.2333G>T, c.2310C>G, c.2975C>T, and c.3443T>C were the most prevalent mutants and c.2310C>G always linked with c.2333G>T. The eighth, 11(th), and 18(th) exons carried more mutations (6/48, 5/48, and 5/48, respectively) than others. After comparing with the mutations reported previously, 22 out of the 48 mutations were identified as novel mutations. A popular algorithm, Polyphen-2, was used to predict the effects of the amino-acid substitution due to the mutations on the structure and function of ATP7B function and the predicted results indicated that all the missense mutations were unfavorable except c.121A>G and c.748G>A. Phenotype/genotype correlation analysis suggested that the patients with c.2975C>T or c.3809A>G often presented WD features before 12 years old while the patients with c.3443T>C almost presented WD after 12 years old. This is the first time to identify the common mutations contributing to early onset age in Chinese WD patients. Our study will broaden our knowledge about ATP7B mutations in WD patients.

Multiplex ARMS PCR to Detect 8 Common Mutations of ATP7B Gene in Patients With Wilson Disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Wilson disease is a rare disorder of copper metabolism due to mutation in ATP7B gene. Proper counseling of patients with Wilson disease, and their families necessitates finding mutation in ATP7B gene. Finding mutations in ATP7B gene with 21 exons, and more than 500 mutations is expensive and time-consuming. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to provide a simple multiplex amplification refractory mutation system PCR (M-ARMS-PCR) for screening eight common mutations in ATP7B gene. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Two sets of ARMS mutant and normal specific primer pairs were designed for genotyping of p.R778L, p.R969Q, p.H1069Q, and p.3400delC mutations as Set 1 and p.W779G, c.3061-1G > A, p.I1102T, and p.N1270S mutations as Set 2. The Multiplex ARMS assay was then subsequently tested in 65 patients with Wilson disease with known and unknown ATP7B mutations. RESULTS:Using these two sets, we identified H1069Q mutation in four patients, c.2335T > G mutation in three, c.3061-1G > A splice site mutation in five, c.3305T > C mutation in one, and c.3809A > G mutation in two patients. CONCLUSIONS:The Multiplex ARMS assay used in this study can be an efficient, reliable, and cost effective method as a primary screen for patients with Wilson disease.
