Decreased mRNA expression of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase emerges from an inborn error-like defect in the Mlycd gene of DBA/2J mice


ABSTRACT: Mlycd encodes malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD), which is an enzyme that localizes in the cytosolic, mitochondrial, and peroxisomal compartments and catalyzes the conversion of malonyl-CoA into acetyl-CoA. Malonyl-CoA can be converted into malonylcarnitine (C3DC). Patients with an autosomal recessive defect of MCD and MCD KO mice have pronounced elevations of C3DC. Analysis of plasma C3DC levels in the BxD genetic reference population revealed increased levels in BxD strains that harbor the DBA/2J haplotype at the site of the Mlycd gene. RNA sequencing was performed on two samples of DBA/2J mouse livers and two C57BL/6J mouse livers. Decreased expression of Mlycd gene as well as intronic reads in intron 2 were observed in DBA/2J livers. Long-read sequecing of DBA/2J livers in the Mlycd region confirmed an intracisternal A-particle (IAP) retrotransposon in intron 2 of the DBA/2J Mlycd sequence. To confirm the causal nature of the variant, DBA/2J mice with and without the C57BL/6J variant of Mlycd spliced in were tested for products of MCD enzymatic activity, and the C57BL/6J variant was able to rescue the phenotype seen in the DBA/2J mice.
